Questions
Tree work in Narraweena: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Narraweena?
Often. Narraweena is in the Northern Beaches Council area, where a permit is usually needed for over 5 m tall (trees within 2 m of an approved building are exempt). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Northern Beaches guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Narraweena?
7% of Narraweena 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 Narraweena?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Narraweena and nearby Beacon Hill, Brookvale and Dee Why.
How much does tree removal cost in Narraweena?
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.
