Tree work in Camden
Established suburban blocks.
- Trees planted 40 to 60 years ago that are now far too big for where they stand: over the roof, against the house, lifting the driveway.
- Roots in sewer and stormwater pipes.
- Overhanging branches and neighbour disputes over leaves, gumnuts and shade.
Trees we often see in established suburban blocks: Lemon-scented gum, Camphor laurel, Cocos palm, Jacaranda.

Questions
Tree work in Camden: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Camden?
Often. Camden is in the Camden Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 3 m or taller, trunk 100 mm across at 1 m, or 3 m branch span. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Camden guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Camden?
52% of Camden is mapped as bush fire prone land. Some homes here may be able to use the 10/50 rule, but it's decided address by address, so check yours with the RFS tool first. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Is Camden in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Camden includes the Camden Town Centre heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Camden?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Camden and nearby Elderslie, Grasmere and Kirkham.
How much does tree removal cost in Camden?
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.
