TREE HEALTH ISSUES
Trees make a beautiful and natural addition to any property. They provide shade during the hot summer months, potentially lowering your energy bills. In addition, some trees can even collect and store pollutants from the atmosphere providing cleaner air. Finally, trees improve soil quality by trapping water and absorbing it into the earth below. However, just like us, occasionally, trees may get sick too and sometimes, tree health problems can be hard to spot. It can be hard to determine if physiological changes in a tree are detrimental, beneficial or benign to the tree’s health. We can assist you in identifying what disease your tree has and what the potential treatment options can be. Several tree health issues develop over time and may take a lot of observation before being noticed. Keep an eye out for these tree health symptoms: discolouration, sick branches, dead leaves or needles. Contact Tree Doctor today if you’re concerned that your tree may be sick or dying. We’ll visit your property and diagnose any tree health problems. We’re available 24 hours a day and will get back to you quickly.

Council Consent
Most councils across Sydney have strict rules place to reduce the amount of trees being over pruned or removed across their LGA’s (Local Government Areas).
Trees in Sydney require consent from your local council to have works performed. There are exceptions to this which vary from council to council (Dead trees, noxious weeds, etc).
Do you need council consent?
When planning to remove/prune a tree, it is important to determine the correct species as it may need council permission prior to works being undertaken.
If you are unsure as to what species your tree is, please get in touch and we can assist in its correct identification.
Click on the links below to check your council regulations or access a council tree application form. Generally, but not always, removing a dead tree, pruning dead branches or pruning less than 10% of the canopy can be done without council consent.
The council websites can be hard to interpret. As a result, many have now adopted the development application process for anyone wanting to prune or remove a tree.
Don’t worry. It’s a simple process.
