Palm Tree removal and cleaning
We provide services to remove and prune all types of Palm trees across North Sydney suburbs. Palm tree trimming or pruning is sometimes termed “Palm tree cleaning” since it involves the removal of all the old palm fronds and seeds. This is often done on an annual basis for our North Sydney clients.

North Sydney tree trimming works involve all types of tree pruning such as tree crown raising and crown shaping to provide ground and building clearances; tree crown reduction in special cases to reduce the overall size of the tree canopy; tree crown thinning to provide addition light through the canopy; remedial tree pruning to remove defected branches and dead wood removal also for tree safety reasons.

** Updated with new Tree Policy released in August 2020
The following is a summary of the North Sydney Council Tree and Vegetation Management Policy to identify works that can be done without council approval and exempt tree species. This policy is currently covered by part 3 of the SEPP (Vegetation in Non-Rural Areas) 2017 legislation and North Sydney Council Development Control Plan (DCP) 2013 - Part B Section 16 and has recently been updated with some new amendments in August 2020 This overview is only a guide. Please reference the complete North Sydney Council DCP 2013 (Updated August 2020) for more detailed information on council regulations and exemptions. Care should also be taken to check the property zoning and that the tree is not protected for Ecological or Heritage reasons (i.e Heritage conservation zones and Endangered Species or Habitats). Some exempt weed species are still protected regardless of size with Heritage item areas.
North Sydney Council Tree Preservation Order allows for the following tree removal or tree pruning works WITHOUT council permission. For all arborist works outside of this scope, council approval in writing is required.
