Our Tree Services


Every new tree species needs a unique tree job, tree service, or tree work on tree cutting. It does not matter whether it is a big tree, a huge tree, a large tree, or a small tree. The tree cutting or tree job of a tree lopper ensures the health of the tree leaves and tree limbs. Tree cutting and tree felling should be done with utmost safety for every tree removal service.

 

Tree Cutting and Trimming

Every homeowner can perform regular tree cutting and trim by themselves. Every overgrown branch and leaf of a tree removed is beneficial to a large tree or larger tree. These overgrowths deprived the healthy parts of a tree of much-needed nutrients. To give enough nutrients to the part of the tree, there is a need to remove a tree overgrowth.

 

Tree Lopping

Tree loppers modify or reduce the size of a tree to train its growth in the desired direction. The main reasons for tree lopping are for aesthetic purposes, to prevent hazard against nearby structures, and to promote safety among power lines. The removal process in lopping may be unselective. But it may be needed to give enough clearance to highways, pavements, and at a certain tree height.

 

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning is a great job in maintaining the health of a tree. It means selectively removing damaged, dead, decaying, diseased, dying, or infested branches of a tree. Its main purpose is to allow the entire tree to grow healthy. Trees that appear unsightly are more susceptible to disease.


Any damaged branch can restrict its overall growth. Pruning improves the appearance, overall health, and strength of a tree. It allows enough sunlight to circulate around the canopy and lower parts of a tree to boost photosynthesis. It encourages branching and fruit production. It also establishes a strong structure for growth.


Many tree experts suggest pruning younger trees every two to three years and older trees every three to five years. It is best to prune a tree during winter when it is dormant and can encourage new growth as springtime comes. Crown lifting, crown reduction, and crown thinning are three of the most popular pruning techniques.


Crown Lifting

A crown is the top part of the tree that starts from the lateral branches that grow above the ground. Crown lifting means the removal of weight at the lower limbs of the tree. It eliminates damaged, dead, decayed, dying, or infested branches to manage the growth of the tree's crown.


Any excess growth can affect the health of the tree. They can break during a storm. They deprive healthy parts of the tree of enough nutrients that they need. Through crown lifting, removing any excess on the lower section of the crown prevents the tree from stress.

 

Crow Reduction

Crown reduction means removing branches and limbs on the upper part of a tree. Its main goal is to allow enough sunlight to circulate in the canopy and lower parts of the tree. Sunlight is needed in photosynthesis, the food production process among plants and trees. By boosting photosynthesis, crown reduction allows the production of enough nutrients to supply the tree parts.

 

Crown reduction also reduces the height of a tree. Also called drop crotch pruning, it improves a tree's appearance and relieves stress on the upper part of the tree. A proper cut in crown reduction begins just above the upper branches. Such a technique allows sunlight to penetrate the other parts of the tree.


Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is the selective removal of the inner branches in a tree's crown. Its main goal is to allow air to circulate throughout the canopy. It does not alter the natural growth of a tree. Instead, it thins out the fullness of a tree.

 

Crown thinning is an excellent way to shape a tree. It removes branches that do not have a good structure and branches that rub into other parts of a tree. As such, it allows air and sunlight to circulate evenly on the crown and canopy. Without being crowded, the tree then grows healthier and stronger.

Tree Removal Services


The tree removal cost for removing a tree depends on the condition of a tree, the nature of its location, and the size of the tree. The average tree removal costs for a tree removal service in Sydney are:


  • $150 to $500 for a narrow tree with a trunk of around 8 metres or smaller
  • $200 to $1000 for a medium-sized tree with a trunk of more than 8 metres to 23 metres
  • $1500 and up for a large tree with a trunk over 23 metres


Council application fees for the permit to remove a tree may cost between $50 to $150. Special situations may also add up to a tree removal cost. These include difficult-to-remove locations or situations, night or weekend work, storm damages, and toxic materials on site.


There are several ways to remove a tree. These include burning, climbing, digging, felling, rigging, using a bucket truck, and using a crane. Let us take a look at how each way is applicable to removing a tree.


Tree Removal Though Burning

If a small tree is already damaged, dead, decayed, dying, or infested, it may be easier to remove it through burning. Be sure to check local laws if it is permitted in your location. It may take 12 to 24 hours to burn a tree. Start with digging deep holes around it where you can pour petrol to keep the flames burning. Using dry wood or tinder may also help. Placed them around the trunk to start the burning process.


Most tree experts do not recommend burning a tree. So, do this only when it is the best-allowed option. Burning a tree is harmful to the environment. Besides releasing too much carbon, it affects air quality and the wildlife around it.


Tree Removal Through Climbing

Many tree experts take out a tree by climbing the top manually. They will start removing significant sections of the tree from the crown to the bottom branches. Afterward, they will chop the trunk from the upper part and then downward. It is much safer to take out a tree by climbing because it avoids the risk of having a large trunk fall down on the ground.


Climbing is a tedious process of removing a tree. The team should know the proper technique for removing the parts of the tree one by one. By chopping them into pieces, it will be easier to remove the tree than removing it as a large whole.

 

Tree Removal Through Digging

Do you know that you can take out a tree by digging? If the tree is small and its roots are not too deep, you can dig around the ground perimeter of the tree. Once the roots are exposed, you can use an axe or chopper to detach them from the ground. It will soften the grip of the tree on the soil, making it easier to pull and remove the tree out of the ground.


Digging a tree is also a tedious process. The safest way to start it is by removing debris, hard objects, and rocks around it. If possible, water the soil. As such, it will be easier to dig in softer soil. Again, digging is only applicable for a smaller tree with roots that are not too deep.

 

Tree Removal Through Felling

Felling is the most common way to remove a tree. It requires good team communication to perform tree felling. The team should carefully plan an escape route for everyone once the tree is about to fall. Tree felling starts by chopping the tree trunk using an axe or chainsaw. A V-shaped cut is made to allow the tree to fall in the desired direction.


Enough clearance should be allowed during felling a tree. It is to prevent damage to nearby lives and structures. The tree felling team should coordinate with everyone in the perimeter clearance to avoid such areas during the process.

 

Tree Removal Through Rigging

If it is not possible for a tree to be removed through felling, rigging is another option. It means using a rope to hold a tree before it falls and allowing the tree services team to chop the tree trunk before it falls to the ground.


Rigging is applicable if there is not enough clearance to nearby structures in reference to the direction where a tree can fall. Like felling, an escape route should be carefully planned during rigging. This is to ensure the safety of everybody and every nearby structure.

 

Tree Removal Using a Bucket Truck

A bucket truck is also called a cherry picker truck. It is a truck carrying a large bucket powered by a hydraulic boom to elevate the worker in inaccessible areas or on top of trees.


Like climbing, the worker is lifted to start removing sections of the tree from the upper parts to the lower parts. The only difference is that it is much faster and safer to be on top riding the bucket truck. Using a bucket truck makes it easier to take out a tree located in difficult areas, near power lines, and with very high elevations.

 

Tree Removal Using a Crane

A crane is a piece of heavy equipment with hoist ropes, sheaves, or wire chains to lift and move heavy objects. It is mostly used to lift objects and move them horizontally on construction sites. A crane can be used to take out a tree. It is a safer way of removing a tree, especially the larger one. It prevents a tree from falling into nearby structures.


It takes knowledge and skills to take out a tree using a crane. Enough clearance within the perimeter should be imposed during the process. The team should also carefully plan the safest zone where to put the tree. The plan should also include the path on how to move the tree horizontally in its safe zone.

 

Emergency Tree Removal Services

There is nothing more stressful than unexpected events like emergencies. Heavy rains and strong winds can damage a tree and endanger lives and properties. Such situations call for the emergency removal of a tree. The local council allows such a tree service without the need for a permit. Its main goal is to promote the safety of lives and properties.


Emergency removal of a tree should be done with utmost care. Especially if power cables are involved, the tree service team should coordinate with utility providers to temporarily cut off the electricity. The team should always wear safety gear for their protection. Because most of the time, the need for such a service happens during harsh weather conditions.

Stump Removal


A stump is the bottom part of a tree trunk together with the roots remaining on the ground after removing a tree. It can be a danger to children playing or people passing by the area. They may fall or trip on the hole that forms around the stump. As the wood on the stump decays, it becomes a good breeding ground for insects and pests like ants, rodents, termites, and worms. They can multiply faster and invade nearby structures. There are several ways to remove a stump. These include burning a stump, digging a stump, rotting a stump, and using a stump grinder.

 

Burning A Stump

Please check first with your local laws if burning a stump is permitted in your location. To burn a stump, dig holes around 8 inches deep within its perimeter. In these holes, you can pour kindlers or petrol to keep the flames burning. It may take between 12 to 24 hours to completely burn a stump.

 

Digging A Stump

If the diameter of the stump is small and its roots are not too deep, digging can be a safer way to remove it. Start with clearing the perimeter of the stump from debris, hard objects, and rocks. Then start digging the soil around it to expose the roots. Once the roots get exposed, use an axe to chop them and detach them from the ground. It will now be easier to pull or remove it.

 

Rotting a Stump

Rotting a stump can be done chemically or naturally. You will also need to dig holes around 8 inches deep around the stump. In these holes, you can pour a chemical stump remover or nitrogen-rich substances like blood meal or compost to accelerate rotting. Using a chemical stump remover can rot the stump within two to three weeks. Using a nitrogen-rich substance can rot the stump within three to six weeks.

 

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding means chewing the woods in the stump to turn them into green waste. The wood will turn into mulch that can be used as compost and soil moisturiser to cover the hole in the ground. It is the best and fastest way to remove a stump.
