Tree work in Pagewood
Established suburban blocks.
- Roots in sewer and stormwater pipes.
- Overhanging branches and neighbour disputes over leaves, gumnuts and shade.
- 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.

Questions
Tree work in Pagewood: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Pagewood?
Often. Pagewood is in the Bayside Council area, where a permit is usually needed for taller than 3 m, or trunk wider than 300 mm. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Bayside guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Pagewood?
None of Pagewood 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 Pagewood?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Pagewood and nearby Eastlakes, Eastgardens and Daceyville.
How much does tree removal cost in Pagewood?
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.
