Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Greenacre?
1% of Greenacre 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 Greenacre?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Greenacre and nearby Chullora, Mount Lewis and Strathfield South.
How much does tree removal cost in Greenacre?
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.
