How to reach us
The fastest way to get a number is to ring (02) 9000 1943 and describe the tree. The quote form on this page goes to the same place if you would rather write it down, and photos attached to an enquiry usually save a visit. There is also a short call-back request page if you just want someone to ring you.
We work across greater Sydney and surrounds, from Penrith and Springwood in the west through to the coast. The service areas page sets out which regions are covered and what is different about each one.
What to tell us
Four things decide most of the price, and none of them is the tree's age.
Species and size. A twelve-metre camphor laurel and a twelve-metre Sydney blue gum are not the same job. Gum timber is dense, brittle at the union and heavy to handle; camphor is soft, wet and bulky. If you do not know the species, photograph the bark and a handful of leaves.
What is underneath. A tree over open lawn can be felled. The same tree over a pergola, a pool, a neighbour's colorbond fence or a glass roof has to be dismantled in sections and lowered on rope, which is slower and costs more.
Access. This is the big one in Sydney. A terrace with a 900mm side gate, a battle-axe block with a fifty-metre handle, or a street where the chipper cannot legally park all change the job substantially. Say what the access is honestly — a crew that arrives to a surprise will re-quote on the spot.
Whether it is protected. If you are in a strict council area such as Ku-ring-gai, Woollahra, Mosman or Willoughby, expect the first conversation to be about approval rather than price. See the FAQ for how that process works.
Emergency work
If a tree or a large limb has already come down, say so immediately on the call. If it is on or near a powerline, ring Ausgrid first — no tree crew may legally work on a live conductor, and reporting it to the network operator is both faster and free.

Frequently asked questions
What information do you need to give me a price?
Suburb and street type, rough height of the tree, what is underneath and beside it, and how a crew would get from the kerb to the base. Photos from two angles help more than measurements. If you know the species, say so. If you do not, a photo of the bark and a leaf is usually enough to identify it.
How quickly can someone look at it?
Routine quotes are generally arranged within a few working days, depending on which crews are free in your area. Storm damage, a split trunk or a limb already on a roof is triaged ahead of routine work. Say clearly on the call if something has already failed or if access to the house is blocked.
Do quotes cost anything?
No. Quotes and site inspections are free and carry no obligation. What is not free is a written arboricultural report for a council application — that is a separate piece of consulting work by a qualified arborist, priced on its own, and you should expect to pay for it when a strict council requires one.
