Tree work in Chiswick
Waterfront and foreshore on the Parramatta River.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
- Access is the whole job: stairs, inclinators, a crane over the house, or working from the water. We have taken the truck and chipper across by barge.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Sydney red gum, Blackbutt, Swamp oak, Cabbage tree palm.

Questions
Tree work in Chiswick: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Chiswick?
Often. Chiswick is in the City of Canada Bay Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller, trunk over 300 mm at ground level, or canopy over 4 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Canada Bay guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Chiswick?
None of Chiswick is mapped as bush fire prone land. 10/50 entitlement areas use a different map, so this is only a guide: the 10/50 clearing rule probably won't apply. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Do you work in Chiswick?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Chiswick and nearby Abbotsford, Russell Lea and Drummoyne.
How much does tree removal cost in Chiswick?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On waterfront blocks access is usually the biggest factor: stairs, an inclinator, a crane over the house or working from the water. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
