Types of Tree Removal 

Arbor Pride has over 20 years of experience in tree-related and horticulture services in Sydney. Our arborists utilise their expertise to deliver seamless and professional tree removal services to keep your property safe and healthy. Every tree and job site is different. Arbor Pride arborists are prepared to adapt our tree removal process to the unique circumstances we come across. Our Syndey arborists engage in responsible tree removal, from traditional felling to climbing and dismantling trees, to crane-assisted removal and stump grinding. There are key considerations that every arborist must take into account with each type of tree removal. An experienced Arborist will visit to assess your job, offer advice and provide a thorough quotation. Removing large trees requires specialised equipment, higher labour costs, and professional services to address safety concerns. The cost of removing medium-sized trees varies depending on factors like tree type and location. Different methods for tree removal include:

1. Traditional Felling

Traditional Felling involves cutting down a tree in one piece from its base using chainsaws and axes. This method is suitable for trees with a lot of space around them and minimal risk of damage to nearby structures or vegetation. Arbor Pride arborists engage in careful planning and precision to ensure the tree falls in the intended direction safely. It is not commonly used in our Sydney environment but is a cost-effective way of removing trees whenever we can recommend this.

2. Dismantling

Dismantling is employed when space constraints or obstacles prevent the safe felling of a tree in one piece. Our arborists are expert climbers who utilise specialised rigging and cutting techniques to dismantle the tree in sections. After this, they lower each piece to the ground systematically. This method allows for precise control over the direction and speed of tree removal. As a result, they can minimise the risk of damage to surrounding property. We only utilise our elevated platform (bucket) for a limited number of jobs, as this is not our standard operation due to the complexity of access which is a normal part of urban living.

3. Crane-Assisted Removal 

Crane-assisted removal is often used when trees are located near power lines or other structures, and access allows this. We use a crane to lift and remove tree sections safely and bypass obstacles to minimise disruption to the surrounding area. This method is particularly effective for large or hazardous trees (dead for long periods or significantly decayed) where traditional felling or dismantling techniques are impractical.

4. Stump Grinding

Stump Grinding or stump removal is conducted after our arborists have concluded their primary tree-cutting services. This step is essential because the remaining stump can be unsightly and pose a potential tripping hazard. Stump grinding involves using a specialised machine to grind the stump down to below ground level. This promotes replanting or landscaping in the area. We also enjoy on occasion leaving a taller stump if a customer wishes to create a natural wildlife habitat. Our Arborists can advise regarding the suitability the viability of this option.

If you are unsure of what tree removal technique your situation requires, feel free to request an on-site quote. Our Sydney arborists are prepared to provide a comprehensive assessment of any tree-related concern.

5. Tree Cutting

Tree cutting is a crucial aspect of tree maintenance, involving the removal of specific parts of a tree rather than the entire tree. This practice is often employed to eliminate dead or diseased branches, enhance the tree’s structural integrity, or mitigate the risk of branches breaking off and causing damage. Compared to complete tree removal, tree cutting can be a more cost-effective solution, but it’s vital to engage a professional tree service to ensure the job is executed safely and correctly.

Our expert arborists at Arbor Pride use specialised equipment, such as pruning saws and loppers, to carefully remove branches and stems. This process requires a deep understanding of tree biology and advanced pruning techniques to avoid harming the tree or making it unstable. Incorrect tree cutting can lead to several issues, including the spread of disease, pest infestations, and stunted tree growth.

When selecting a tree cutting service, it’s essential to choose a company with experienced and qualified arborists who can assess the tree’s condition and provide expert advice on the best course of action. A professional tree service will ensure that the job is done safely, with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment, preserving the health and beauty of your trees.

Our Tree Removal Services Process

Feel assured that Arbor Pride has the professional expertise to assess any of your tree-related concerns and conduct reliable tree removal that is fully licensed and insured. Our process for large mature trees utilises both dismantling and traditional tree felling to achieve a safe and efficient tree removal:

  1. Our team of Sydney arborists will conduct an onsite inspection to identify any safety concerns, hazards and obstacles to the tree removal job.
  2. One arborist will climb the tree and set up his ropes.
  3. Once the ropes are ready, the arborist uses a chainsaw to dismantle the tree piece by piece, lowering each piece to the ground crew.
  4. The ground crew removes any green waste from the property.
  5. After removing the branches and canopy, the climber either takes down the trunk from the top or comes down so the crew can fall the whole tree.
  6. The remaining green waste is chipped and removed from the property.
  7. Our arborists will clean up the area, ensuring it looks as good as or better than before.

Most tree services follow similar practices and pricing structures, ensuring consistency in service offerings.

Hiring a tree removal company ensures professional assistance, expert knowledge, and post-removal support.

Arbor Pride arborists follow this tree removal process adapting it to on-site challenges to remove trees and minimise risks to the environment safely. For estimates on the time frame and number of arborists required for your tree removal situation contact us for an on-site quote today.

We Adhere to Tree Removal Regulations

Arbor Pride is familiar with council regulations and requirements and can assist you every step of the way. Council regulations vary and therefore knowing when a tree can be removed from your property and when it is protected under a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) can be complicated. TPOs protect certain tree species that are regarded as ecologically significant or endangered. Furthermore, trees located within conservation areas may be subject to a TPO. Tree pruning or the complete removal of trees within these areas may require council approval. These regulations are in place to promote compliance with conservation goals and the preservation of biodiversity. Contact a Sydney arborist to find out if these regulations may impose restrictions on residential tree removal or commercial tree removal of protected tree species.

As a result, many Sydney localities require you to obtain a tree removal permit to remove any trees from your property. This is especially true for larger trees or those located in protected areas such as conservation zones or heritage sites. Permit requirements may vary based on factors such as tree size, species, location, and the reason for removal. Regardless of the need for emergency tree removal, failure to obtain the necessary permits can result in fines or legal consequences. Permit requirements may also vary depending on what locality you reside in. For specific information refer to your local council regulations on tree removal and management.

Tree Removal Permits and Regulations

In many areas, tree removal is governed by specific regulations and permits. These rules can vary depending on the location, type of tree, and other factors. It’s crucial to check with your local council or government agency to determine if a permit is required for tree removal on your property.

Common regulations and permits include:

  • Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs): These orders protect specific trees or groups of trees from removal or damage due to their ecological significance or endangered status.
  • Environmental Impact Assessments: These assessments evaluate the potential environmental impact of tree removal and may necessitate a permit.
  • Heritage Tree Protection: These regulations safeguard trees of historical or cultural importance.
  • Neighbourhood Tree Disputes: These rules govern disputes between neighbours regarding tree removal or maintenance.

A professional tree removal service like Arbor Pride is well-versed in the regulations and permits required in your area. We can guide you through the process, ensuring that all necessary permits are obtained before commencing work. This not only ensures compliance with local laws but also promotes responsible and sustainable tree management practices.

Emergency Tree Removal

If you require emergency tree removal where trees pose an immediate threat to life or property, council regulations may be temporarily relaxed to facilitate prompt removal. However, property owners may still be required to obtain retrospective permits following emergency tree removal to ensure compliance. Check with your local council for accurate details on emergency tree removal procedures, or contact our team of Sydney arborists if you are unsure of what warrants an emergency removal.

Non-compliance with council regulations and permit requirements for tree removal can result in significant penalties, including fines, restoration requirements, and legal action. You need to familiarise yourself with the applicable regulations and obtain any necessary permits before proceeding with tree removal activities. Arbor Pride is here to guide you through this process so you are informed at every step of the tree removal process. Consult us today to receive the best tree removal services available in Sydney. We are not just tree removalists, we are your partner in protecting your home and family safely and efficiently.

How Much Does Average Tree Removal Costs in Sydney?

Wondering how much does it cost? The cost to remove a tree varies significantly depending on several key factors that influence the complexity and scope of the removal process. Understanding tree removal costs is essential when hiring a professional arborist, as various factors like tree size (large tree vs small tree), species, and location can affect pricing. Tree size is a primary factor that influences the cost of removal. Removing larger trees typically requires more equipment and time compared to smaller trees. Larger trees may pose greater risks to nearby structures or utilities. This necessitates extra precautions and specialised techniques from Arbor Pride. The following tree features are considered when quoting the tree removal service and can incur additional costs:

  • Trunk diameter
  • Tree weight
  • Number of branches
  • Spread of branches
  • Duel Leaders/ Trunks

Palm trees are generally easier and cheaper to remove due to their thinner structure, but disposal can present challenges.

The importance of tree trimming should also be considered as part of the overall cost. Tree trimming is essential for preserving the health of trees and ensuring safety.

The health and condition of the tree can seriously drive up the cost of removal. Structurally compromised trees may require extra precautions and specialised techniques to safely remove and this makes the overall cost higher. The presence of pests causing rotting, severe storms and strong winds may require an emergency tree removal that requires a more complex tree removal process.

There are several other cost-adding factors to consider when considering removing a tree from your residence. The level of difficulty to access your tree will add cost to your service. Our Sydney arborists are qualified to reach trees situated close to buildings, power lines, or other structures, but this situation may require additional precautions. Similarly, trees located in areas with limited access such as backyard removals with narrow pathways may require extra effort. This results in higher labour costs. On the other hand, trees in open spaces with ample clearance may be easier and less expensive to remove.

In addition to tree removal, Arbor Pride provides services like tree pruning, tree cutting, topiary and hedge trimming, tree care, tree consulting, and stump grinding. These services contribute to the overall cost of tree removal. Labour and disposal costs are included in the total cost of these services. Debris removal includes disposing of branches, logs, and other tree waste from the site, leaving it better than how we found it.
