Questions
Tree work in Strathfield South: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Strathfield South?
Often. Strathfield South is in the Strathfield Municipal Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 4 m or taller, or trunk girth over 500 mm at 1 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Strathfield guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Strathfield South?
None of Strathfield South 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 Strathfield South?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Strathfield South and nearby Belfield, Enfield and Greenacre.
How much does tree removal cost in Strathfield South?
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.
