When should you get a tree removed? 

A tree should be removed after it has been assessed by a professional arborist. A qualified arborist is the only person with the training, expertise and council recognition to determine that a tree removal is the appropriate course of action. There are many good reasons to have a tree removed from your property. If the tree has reached the end of its life and has begun to deteriorate, it’s important to have the tree removed before it becomes a danger to you and your home. If a tree has been damaged from a storm, wind or disease, its structural integrity may have been compromised. In these cases it is important to have the tree removed immediately to mitigate the risk of it falling.

Do you need council permission to remove a tree?

In cases where a tree is already dead or has fallen, an arborist is important to ensure that the tree can be removed without risk of injury or damage to nearby property or environment. In cases where the tree is still alive, a pro arborist report is generally required by the local council to give permission for its removal. Cutting down a tree yourself without a council permit can result in heavy fines. However, submitting an application to remove a tree on your private property with the inclusion of a pro arborist report will, in most cases, be approved. The most common reasons that a council will approve the removal of a tree are that the tree is dead, dying or dangerous. If a tree is obstructing plans for home renovations or development, you can apply to have the tree removed as long as it is not a protected species or of particular cultural significance.

The dangers of doing it yourself

There are many risks in attempting to trim and remove trees on your own.  You can potentially damage the tree or your property, as well as hurt yourself in the process. One of the challenges of tree removal is removing the stump. It is not recommended to try removing the stump by yourself as you may leave behind part or whole of the stump which can cause problems later on. Contact the experts at Jim’s Trees today for the professional help you need and peace of mind that the process is taken care of. We will give you a free quote and offer you advice on how to proceed with the tree care work you require.

Additional Arborist Services

Fallen & storm damaged tree removal

If you have a tree that has fallen on your property or been damaged by a storm, get in touch with our team so that we can have it removed as soon as possible. Removing a damaged tree yourself is not recommended as it can pose serious risk of injury. However, leaving a tree that has fallen to linger can attract unwanted pests and disease as it begins to decay. For this reason it is important to have the tree removed immediately by a professional arborist. With our expertise and equipment, we can remove the tree and the stump quickly, safely and efficiently.

Large tree removal

No matter how large your tree is, we can efficiently remove it with the least harm to the environment. A large mature tree can pose a serious hazard to your home and the neighbourhood if it has begun to deteriorate in health. Allow us to remove the hazard and reclaim your property to plant new saplings, carry out development plans or enjoy the free space. By expertly cutting the tree into segments and feeding it through our wood chipper, we can turn the large tree and green waste into wood chip mulch. By doing so, the mulch can be easily transported offsite or even used in your garden to help protect your other plants and trees during hot summers or icy winters.

Palm tree removal

Palm trees require a specialist’s approach to removal due to their uniquely hard exterior and deep roots. Without the right equipment, training and experience, attempting to cut a palm tree can easily destroy equipment and be a serious risk of harm to you or anyone nearby. Our crews use speciality equipment and protocols to cut down and remove palms in the safest, most efficient and most environmentally friendly methods available.

Arborist FAQs

Trees can add beauty, shade, and value to your property, but there may come a time when removal becomes necessary. Whether a tree is damaged, diseased, unsafe, or simply past its lifespan, professional tree removal helps ensure the job is completed safely and efficiently.

Several factors can influence the cost of tree removal services, including the size, condition, and location of the tree. External factors such as storm damage or restricted access can also affect pricing. Larger trees or those located close to buildings, fences, or powerlines may require specialised equipment and additional safety precautions, which can increase the overall cost.

If your Palm Tree has begun to decay or pose hazardous risks, it is important to seek out a qualified arborist for a complete removal and stump extraction. Palm trees are very robust so they require specialised professional care to remove them effectively and safely.

At Jim’s Trees, we have extensive training and the appropriate equipment to get the job done quickly and precisely. We also make sure that your property is in good shape by taking safety precautions and cleaning up the area after our work is finished.

Tree pruning and trimming are essential for maintaining healthy trees, encouraging new growth, and reducing potential safety risks such as broken branches or overgrown limbs near power lines. Depending on the type and size of the tree, pruning may involve trimming, shaping, and cutting back branches to improve both safety and appearance.

At Jim’s Trees, our professional arborists provide expert tree maintenance services tailored to your property and needs. We work carefully to ensure your trees stay healthy while also protecting and caring for your property throughout the process.

Tree removal may be necessary if a storm has caused irreparable damage to your trees. Jim’s Trees can help you clean up your yard and street to remove any potential hazards and debris from the storm, whether that be fallen branches or trees. Our professional team is well-equipped and trained to deal with a variety of circumstances, serving both residential and commercial clients.

Large trees can become a safety risk when their roots or branches begin affecting homes, neighbouring properties, power lines, or underground services. In some cases, overgrown trees may require trimming, while others may need complete removal to prevent further damage or hazards.

At Jim’s Trees, our experienced arborists can assess and manage the trees on your property to ensure they remain healthy, safe, and clear of surrounding structures. We help remove potential risks and provide professional solutions to keep your property protected.
