Questions
Tree work in Greendale: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Greendale?
Often. Greendale 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 Greendale?
96% of Greendale is mapped as bush fire prone land. Some homes here may be able to use the 10/50 rule, but it's decided address by address, so check yours with the RFS tool first. The RFS 10/50 tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Do you work in Greendale?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Greendale and nearby Bringelly, Cobbitty and Luddenham.
How much does tree removal cost in Greendale?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On larger semi-rural blocks wide access often means bigger equipment and faster work, which helps the price. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
