How much does tree removal cost in the Northern Beaches?

Tree removal costs typically range from $500 to $4,000, depending on the tree's size, location, and accessibility. Small trees (under 5m) cost $500-$900, medium trees (5-10m) range from $900-$2,000, and large trees (over 10m) can cost $2,000-$4,000+. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after an on-site assessment.

Do I need council approval for tree removal?

In most cases, yes. Northern Beaches Council has tree preservation orders protecting many trees. However, exemptions exist for certain species, dead or hazardous trees, or trees under specific size thresholds. We handle the entire council application process and can prepare arborist reports for your submission.

What's the difference between tree pruning and tree lopping?

Tree pruning is the selective removal of specific branches to improve tree health, appearance, and safety while maintaining the tree's natural form. Tree lopping refers to more extensive cutting, often for height reduction. Our arborists use proper techniques that promote tree health regardless of the service required.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

We offer 24/7 emergency tree services with rapid response times. For hazardous situations like fallen trees or storm damage, we typically arrive within 1-2 hours. Our emergency team is fully equipped to handle urgent situations safely and efficiently.

What areas do you service?

We service all Northern Beaches suburbs including Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale, Avalon, Brookvale, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Newport, Palm Beach, Freshwater, Forestville, Frenchs Forest, and surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we carry comprehensive public liability insurance and workers compensation. This protects you and your property throughout the job. We're happy to provide certificates of currency upon request.

Ashleigh Paul

"Very happy to recommend Sam and his team to everyone. They did an incredible job removing a couple of very large cypress pine trees that were very close to our house. The team were very professional and quite impressive to watch at work. They did a very thorough job with the stump grinding and their overall price was very competitive. They cleaned up everything very well afterwards as well. Will definitely be getting Sam back if we end up getting a tree removed again. Thanks guys!"

Adam Sargeant

"I can wholeheartedly recommend Sam and his team. The job was priced fairly and competitively and the team were prompt and worked solidly until the work was done. They cleaned up everything after as promised and did a fantastic job pruning some very large viburnums! Sam was very easy to deal with and also gave some great advice around how best to maintain them ongoing. Thanks guys!"

Steve B

"Highly recommend Sam and his team. The job of removing a large eucalypt tree next to my home was done with precision that was awe-inspiring. It wasn't an easy job, but they nailed it. Fair pricing without any problem, good communication throughout and tidy, really hard working team with all the gear and knowledge. Absolutely 10/10."
