Questions
Tree work in Beecroft: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Beecroft?
Often. Beecroft is in the Hornsby Shire Council area, where a permit is usually needed for almost any tree that can grow over 3 m (trees within 3 m of the house are exempt). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Hornsby guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Beecroft?
27% of Beecroft is mapped as bush fire prone land, mostly along its bushland edges. The 10/50 rule may apply to some addresses — check yours with the RFS tool. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Is Beecroft in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Beecroft includes the Beecroft, Cheltenham heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Beecroft?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Beecroft and nearby Cheltenham, Pennant Hills and Epping.
How much does tree removal cost in Beecroft?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. A tree over the roof or against the house usually comes down in sections, so it's priced on time and care rather than size alone. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
