Questions
Tree work in Eastwood: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Eastwood?
Often. Eastwood is in the City of Ryde area, where a permit is usually needed for 4 m or taller, or trunk 150 mm or more at 1.4 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Ryde guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Eastwood?
4% of Eastwood 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 Eastwood in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Eastwood includes Epping/Eastwood, Brush Farm Park, Eastwood and Eastwood House Estate, Eastwood heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Eastwood?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Eastwood and nearby Denistone, Denistone East and Denistone West.
How much does tree removal cost in Eastwood?
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.
