Tree work in Sandringham
Waterfront and foreshore on the Georges River.
- Access is the whole job: stairs, inclinators, a crane over the house, or working from the water. We have taken the truck and chipper across by barge.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Blackbutt, Swamp oak, Cabbage tree palm, Norfolk Island pine.

Questions
Tree work in Sandringham: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Sandringham?
Often. Sandringham 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 Sandringham?
None of Sandringham 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 Sandringham?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Sandringham and nearby Dolls Point and Sans Souci.
How much does tree removal cost in Sandringham?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On waterfront blocks access is usually the biggest factor: stairs, an inclinator, a crane over the house or working from the water. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
