Council check · The Hills Shire

Do you need approval?

Nelson 2765 is in the Hills Shire Council area. Its tree page says you need approval for:

  • Pruning more than 10% of a tree
  • Removing any tree the Tree Preservation Order does not exempt
  • Changing the soil level within 3 m of the trunk

No approval is needed for: removing a priority weed; removing a tree grown for its fruit.

We check this before we quote and tell you if a permit is needed before any work starts.

Questions

Tree work in Nelson: questions.

How much does tree removal cost in Nelson?
The same as across Sydney: typically $300–$1,000 for a small tree, $900–$2,500 for a medium tree and $2,000–$5,000 for a large one. Access and what is underneath move the price; your written quote is the price.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Nelson?
Often, yes. Nelson is in the Hills Shire Council area. We check its tree rules before we quote and tell you if a permit is needed before any work starts. Applications are made in the owner’s name.
Can you help with a fallen tree in Nelson?
Yes. Call 0414 638 360 and we’ll tell you straight how soon we can get there and what we can make safe first.
What should I send for a quote?
Your suburb, a short note on the job and photos of the whole tree, the trunk and what is underneath it. Mention gates, stairs, pools or power lines.
Is the clean-up included?
Yes. The clean-up is written into every quote: branches chipped, timber taken away or left for you, and the yard swept before we leave.
Do you work outside Nelson?
Yes. We work across the Hills District and the rest of Sydney. Call 0414 638 360 if you are unsure about your address.
