FAQ
- Do I need to check with my local council before having trees removed from my property?
Tree removal is subject to council regulations and approval. However, if you would like use our services we are more than happy to take care of this for you by consulting with any official bodies such as the local council, to make sure any tree removal is in accordance with regulations.
- What happens if I want to remove trees from my property that are home to native wildlife?
These are things that will need to be checked with the local council before any action is taken. In extreme cases you may need to obtain approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. If the clearing you would like to undertake will have a large impact on threatened species or ecological communities, you may need special approval. Again, this is something we can consult with the relevant official bodies about on your behalf.
- Why can’t I just lop my own trees?
We discourage people from lopping their own trees for several reasons. Not only is this a dangerous thing to undertake if you are not trained and don’t have the correct equipment. You can also do irreparable damage to the trees and stunt the longevity of the trees, incorrect lopping can encourage disease and deformity of the trees. You may save a little money in the short term but you (and the trees) will pay in other ways over the long term.
