Do I need approval to remove a tree in Canberra?

Often yes. Under the ACT Urban Forest Act 2023, a tree on private land is protected once it is 8 metres or taller, has a canopy 8 metres or wider, or has a trunk circumference of 1 metre or more measured 1.4 metres above the ground. A protected tree needs an approved tree activity application before removal or major pruning. We measure the tree, tell you straight whether it is protected, and handle the application if it is.

What happens if I cut down a protected tree without approval?

Penalties under the Urban Forest Act 2023 reach $80,000 for an individual and $405,000 for a corporation, on top of on-the-spot fines. That is why we check every tree before we quote.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Call +61 2 6105 9997 or use the contact form and we will inspect the tree and quote at no charge.

Are you available for emergencies?

Yes, 24/7 for fallen, split or dangerous trees and storm damage across Canberra and the ACT.

What areas of Canberra do you cover?

All of Canberra and the ACT, north and south, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, the Inner North and Inner South, and Queanbeyan.

Yes. Our crew is trained and insured, with a strong safety record on complex and dangerous removals.

Do you remove the stump as well?

Stump grinding and stump removal are separate services. Ask for them to be included when we quote and we will price the job as one.

What happens to the timber and green waste?

Everything is removed and chipped or recycled, unless you ask us to leave firewood or mulch on site.
