96% of Greendale 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.
Do you work in Greendale?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Greendale and nearby Bringelly, Cobbitty and Luddenham.
How much does tree removal cost in Greendale?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On larger semi-rural blocks wide access often means bigger equipment and faster work, which helps the price. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
