Tree removal
When a tree needs to come down.
If a tree is dead, badly damaged or no longer suitable for its position, John's can remove it in sections or as a whole. The method depends on the tree, the room available and what sits around it.

- Family-owned since 1982
- North Shore and Ryde
- Tree Removal for homes, strata and businesses
Planning the removal
Plan for the tree and everything around it.
Tree removal starts with the tree, its condition and the space around it. Roofs, fences, pools, driveways, neighbouring property and equipment access all influence how branches and trunk sections can be lowered and moved.
Tell us whether you want timber or mulch kept on site and whether the stump needs to be ground. For protected trees, check the current council requirements before work starts.

★★★★★
“Had a huge gum leaning over the back of the house that we'd been worried about for ages. John came out, talked us through the options, and his crew had it down in a morning. Fair price and they swept the deck on the way out which was a nice touch.”
★★★★★
“Storm took out half our liquidambar Thursday night. Called first thing Friday, they had someone here before lunch. Blocked the driveway off, cleared the debris, left it tidy. Sent the quote through before they started which I appreciated.”
★★★★★
“Big job for us, had a few trees that needed sorting out and one that was half dead. John walked around the garden with me for a good half hour, explained what needed doing and what could wait. Didn't try to upsell. Crew were polite and knew what they were on about.”

Useful answers
Tree removal questions.
It depends on the council, property, tree and reason for removal. Check the current council guidance for the address before work starts. Heritage, ecological and development controls may also apply.
The tree can be dismantled in sections, with branches and trunk pieces lowered into the available work area. The exact method depends on the tree, access and what needs to be protected below.
Stump grinding is a separate service unless it is included with the removal. Tell the team how you plan to use the area so the grinding depth and access can be discussed.
Include the suburb, what concerns you about the tree, nearby structures, side access, parking constraints and whether you want timber or mulch left on site.
