FAQs

1. What is the process for tree removal on a managed rental property?

Tree removal on real estate properties requires proper assessment. As a property manager or landlord, you may need council approval before removing a tree, especially if it’s a protected species. Arbor Pride provides tree risk assessments, manages DA applications, and completes safe, efficient tree removal services with minimal disruption to tenants or neighbours.

2. How often should tree pruning be scheduled for real estate properties?

Routine tree trimming is essential for real estate portfolios. It reduces tenant complaints, prevents damage to roofs and fences, and maintains street appeal. Depending on the species, pruning or hedge maintenance should be scheduled at least once a year, more frequently for fast-growing trees near structures or driveways. It’s also a good idea to get everything freshly pruned before a showing.

3. What tree services are typically needed before listing a property for sale?

To maximise visual appeal and minimise buyer concerns, pre-sale real estate tree services often include:

Tree trimming and canopy shaping
Stump removal for aesthetics and safety
Hazard assessments for dangerous trees hanging near structures
Optional Level 5 arborist reports to satisfy buyer due diligence

4. Do developers need a DA arborist report before clearing a property site?

Yes. Most Sydney councils require a DA arborist report for development applications, especially if trees are within building footprints or near boundary lines. Arbor Pride assists property developers with Level 5 arborist reports, vegetation management plans, and compliance advice. We also provide tree removal services for property developers, ensuring all work aligns with DA conditions and NSW tree laws.

5. What should real estate property managers do in a tree-related emergency?

If a storm causes a large or dangerous tree to fall, or a branch damages a roof or power line, you’ll need emergency tree services for commercial property. Arbor Pride offers rapid response for:
