Frequently Asked Questions
What tree services do National Tree Services provide?
We offer a wide range of tree services across Sydney.
Visit our Services page to explore our complete range of tree care and removal solutions available in all Sydney suburbs.
How safe is tree removal, pruning and felling?
Considering the heights involved, the tools that we use and the immense weight of branches and trees, tree removal, felling and pruning is very dangerous and should only be undertaken by a skilled professional.
With over 9 years industry experience and a commitment to health and safety, the team at National Tree Services provide professional, efficient and safe tree services to homes and businesses in Sydney’s Northern suburbs.
What tools and equipment do you use?
Every job is different and requires a different set of tools, techniques and skills. As well as the mandatory chainsaw, we also use a complex array of harnesses, ropes, pulleys and tackles to safely remove any part of any tree.
For larger jobs it is not unusual to employ the services of cranes and lorries to safely bring down and transport large trees.
How expensive is it to remove a tree?
We realise that cost is an important consideration. That’s why we focus on keeping our prices as low as possible while keeping our standards to the level that you would expect from a premier arborist team.

What is stump grinding?
Once a tree has been felled and removed, you are still left with an unsightly stump. Because of the extent of the underground root network, it is not always practical or possible to dig the stump out. As an alternative we use a special piece of machinery that literally grinds the stump down to ground level, allowing you to pave, plant, concrete or deck over the top of it.
Our stump grinders can access even the most hard to reach areas and are a quick and economical alternative to removing a stump of any size.
Are there any trees that you cannot remove?
Over the last twenty years we have worked with some of Sydney’s largest and most troublesome trees. Certain trees need council approval to remove and there may be certain trees that cannot be felled due to safety concerns.
With that said, however, we’re available to offer you any advice that you may need to ensure that your tree removal or cutting project goes as smoothly as possible. Contact us for an obligation-free evaluation today.
What other things do I need to consider before removing a tree?
Certain trees are protected because of the surrounding wildlife. Other trees require council permits to make any changes, including pruning more than 10% of the foliage.
The last thing that you want to do is to get into a disagreement with the council regarding removing a tree. That’s why National Tree Services are happy to help you with every step of the process. You can contact us here to set up an obligation free assessment of your needs.
