Tree Removal Sydney

 Getting rid of an Unwanted Tree

Don’t know where to start? Cutting down these large statures can be a risky venture and should only be attempted by professional arborists with the right equipment, permits and skills. Most of the time you will also need to have Council Permission to remove a tree from your property. Shane’s trees are experts in their field and can help you determine weather your tree qualifies for tree removal Sydney. Some examples of situations where the council will give permission to remove a tree are as follows:

• It is likely to cause substantial property damage to houses or buildings

• There is substantial evidence that it is structurally unstable and there is a high degree of hazard (arborist report and testing may be required for significant trees)

• It is causing substantial and continuing structural damage to a dwelling or structure (structural engineering assessment may be required)

• If it is in poor and declining health (with a short life expectancy) and there are no options to mitigate the decline in health

STUMP REMOVAL SYDNEY

After having a tree removed from your property there will always be a stump left in the ground. This is also true if you have a rotten or diseased tree blow over in strong winds or other circumstances. Anyone who tried to remove a stump before knows this is a very difficult task as digging it out is nearly impossible, thanks to an established tree root system and burning is not always possible. Our arborist’s use a Stump Grinding machine for this task which is basically a large grinding flywheel connected to a powerful machine engine.
