"Highly recommend using these guys. I had a large gum tree in a difficult area and right next to buildings. They were the only company of my 3 quotes who were able to grind the stump. Even with this extra work, they were cheaper than the other quotes. Truck and chipper that fit on my driveway, no fuss. Made the job look easy and were so quick, left the area tidy." - Karen Bellenger, August 2024

Professional Tree Removal Lake Macquarie Homeowners Can Rely On
"We have 2 large trees in our backyard, which are absolutely beautiful but shade the whole yard. Johnny came out for a site visit and really took the time to go through our options, you can tell he is very passionate about preservation and ensuring trees look natural once trimmed. I was confident that he would look after the trees while ensuring they suited our needs as well.
He and his team did not disappoint - they were on time, professional and while we can tell they have been trimmed (as there is so much more light in the yard now), they don’t look disfigured at all. I would highly recommend." - Bridie Ekert, June 2022

Lake Macquarie Tree Removal FAQs
1. Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Lake Macquarie?
Yes, in most cases. The Lake Macquarie City Council requires approval to prune or remove certain trees in accordance with their Tree Preservation and Native Vegetation Management Guideline. Factors such as tree species, trunk diameter, and proximity to structures are all taken into consideration. As qualified arborists, we can assess your tree and handle the council application on your behalf to ensure compliance.
2. What's the safest way to remove a tree near a home or power line?
Tree removal near structures or power lines requires advanced rigging techniques, often involving sectional dismantling using ropes, cranes, or elevated work platforms. Our team conducts a comprehensive hazard assessment before commencing work and coordinates with utility providers as necessary. Safety, control, and minimal disruption are always our top priorities.
3. How much does tree removal cost in Lake Macquarie?
Tree removal costs vary depending on several factors, including size, access, risk level, and location. For example, removing a small ornamental tree in a front yard may cost a few hundred dollars, while removing a large eucalyptus near power lines could run into the thousands. We provide free, site-specific quotes and always explain the factors that affect price upfront.
4. Can a diseased tree be saved instead of removed?
In some cases, yes. If caught early, diseases such as root rot, borers, or fungal infections can be treated with pruning, soil conditioning, or remedial arboriculture techniques. Our certified arborists will assess the tree's structural integrity and overall health to determine whether removal or treatment is the best long-term option.
5. What should I do with the mulch or wood after removing the tree?
We offer several options. You can choose to keep the mulch for your garden, have it removed entirely, or request log splitting for firewood (depending on the tree species). We tailor our cleanup and waste disposal to suit your preferences, always leaving the site neat and hazard-free.
