Tree work in Kirrawee
Established suburban blocks.
Kirrawee mixes established family blocks with newer apartment developments. We see big backyard gums, jacarandas and liquidambars planted decades ago that have outgrown their spot.
- Trees planted 40 to 60 years ago that are now far too big for where they stand: over the roof, against the house, lifting the driveway.
- Roots in sewer and stormwater pipes.
Trees we often see in established suburban blocks: Lemon-scented gum, Camphor laurel, Cocos palm, Jacaranda.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Kirrawee?
Often. Kirrawee is in the Sutherland Shire Council area, where a permit is usually needed for trunk 100 mm or more across at 500 mm high, any bushland vegetation, or anything within 4 m of a creek.

Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Kirrawee?
13% of Kirrawee 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 Kirrawee?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Kirrawee and nearby Gymea, Sutherland and Kareela.
How much does tree removal cost in Kirrawee?
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.
