Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Chester Hill?
1% of Chester Hill 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.
Do you work in Chester Hill?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Chester Hill and nearby Sefton, Villawood and Old Guildford.
How much does tree removal cost in Chester Hill?
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.
