How it works

From the first message to a written quote

The council question is settled before any price, and nothing is booked until you have said yes to a quote in writing.

  1. 1

    Tell us what the tree is doing

    Where it stands, what it hangs over and what you would like done about it.

  2. 2

    A contractor comes to see it

    A tree contractor who covers your suburb looks at the tree, the access and what is underneath it.

    The council question is answered

    Whether it is pruning council lets you do, or a removal that needs approval, is settled before the price.

    You get it in writing

    Scope, timber, stump and date on one page, and nothing is booked until you have said yes.

Questions

Asked before anything is booked

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Cairns?

Possibly. An owner who wants to remove vegetation on their own property may need a Development Permit for Operational Works under CairnsPlan, and the plan counts a private tree greater than 7.5m in height as significant. The permits page sets out what council lets you do without council approval.

Who does the work?

An independent tree contractor. They look at the tree, quote the job and do it, and your agreement is with them. This site takes enquiries and passes them on; nobody here climbs trees.

Should I get trees looked at before the wet season?

It is the usual time. Work done in a dry spell is easier and safer than the same job after a cyclone has loosened things, and most pruning is on council's list of work an owner can do without council approval.

Can the stump stay?

Yes. Cutting it low and leaving it costs less than grinding it out, and plenty of people choose that. The quote can price both so you can decide.

Tree over the house?
