Questions
Tree work in Erskine Park: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Erskine Park?
Often. Erskine Park 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 Erskine Park?
22% of Erskine Park 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 10/50 tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Do you work in Erskine Park?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Erskine Park and nearby St Clair, Colyton and Minchinbury.
How much does tree removal cost in Erskine Park?
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.
