How to save 20 – 30% off tree removal
This one little trick is going to save you at least 20% off tree lopping in Sydney.
Tree services are seasonal, when the weather is warm, people are out in their gardens and tend to get things done like landscaping, lawn mowing and tree lopping.
When it’s cold out, not much goes on in people’s gardens.
By getting your tree trimmed or removed in the winter, you are going to catch tree services when they don’t have a lot of work on.
When they are busy and booked out for weeks in advance, they can really just name their price, but by mid-winter and things are a little bleaker and tree arborist in Sydney tend to get a little more competitive on price.
You will save 20 – 30% without breaking a sweat!
Do you need council approval for Sydney tree removal?
For large trees, you will need to seek a council permit before proceeding. It does all depend on the council regulations for tree removal in your particular area.
There are exceptions for most councils that are pretty universal.
They include:
- Dead trees
- A tree within 3m of the foundations of your home
- National pests such as Willows or camphor Laurels
- Hazardous trees that pose a danger to persons or property
- 10/50 rules for fire hazard zones
Your local tree service in Sydney who comes out to quote your job will soon tell you if you need approval, but it is always a good idea to get a second opinion and do your homework and check the councils’ Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Fines for removing trees in Sydney without a permit when required exceed $5000.

This is a lot more evident when it comes to palm tree removal.
As palm trees cannot be mulched and must be dumped as general waste in recycling facilities, tree contractors pay about half the price in places like Campbelltown, Penrith, and some parts of Sydney’s inner west, then they do in the eastern suburbs.
