Established suburban blocks.
- 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.
- Overhanging branches and neighbour disputes over leaves, gumnuts and shade.

Questions
Tree work in Sadleir: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Sadleir?
Often. Sadleir is in the Liverpool City Council area, where a permit is usually needed for over 3.5 m tall, 4 m spread or 400 mm trunk at 1 m (council’s 2024 guidelines give different figures; check first). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Liverpool guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Sadleir?
6% of Sadleir 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 Sadleir?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Sadleir and nearby Ashcroft, Cartwright and Heckenberg.
How much does tree removal cost in Sadleir?
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.
