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 St Marys: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in St Marys?
Often. St Marys is in the Penrith City Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 3.5 m or taller, or trunk over 100 mm at 1.4 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Penrith guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in St Marys?
27% of St Marys 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 St Marys?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including St Marys and nearby North St Marys, Werrington and Tregear.
How much does tree removal cost in St Marys?
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.
