Your Garden is Growing — Let’s Keep it Safe!
As Sydney heads into summer, our trees are growing fast and so are potential risks.
This is the perfect time to give them the care they deserve before summer storms arrive.
If your trees are growing fast, dropping too many leaves, or blocking sunlight, it might be time for a Spring Tree Check-Up.
What to look for this season:
• Branches touching roofs, fences, or powerlines
• Leaning trees after rain
• Dead or weak branches that could fall
• Too much shade blocking your garden
• Signs of pests or disease
💡 Tip from us:
Early pruning in spring helps your trees grow stronger and stay balanced all year.

Is Your Tree Asking for Attention?
Articles
Is Your Tree Asking for Attention?
Just like us, trees show signs when something isn’t quite right, and recognising these early can save you time, money, and even prevent accidents.
Here are a few signs your trees might need professional care:
Yellowing or Falling Leaves Too Soon
If your tree’s leaves are turning yellow or falling before their season, it could be suffering from stress, pests, or a lack of nutrients. Our specialists can identify the cause and provide the right treatment.
Broken or Dead Branches
Aside from looking unsightly, broken branches can be dangerous. Regular pruning keeps your trees healthy and your property safe.
Uneven Growth
If one side of your tree looks fuller than the other, it might be competing for sunlight or nutrients. A quick inspection can help restore its balance.
Cracked or Damaged Bark
Cracks or patches on the bark can indicate disease or pest activity. The earlier we detect it, the easier it is to treat.
Exposed or Damaged Roots
Visible roots may signal instability, especially risky during storms. Our team can assess the situation and recommend stabilising solutions.
Why Maintenance is Important:
Caring for your trees is not just a matter of aesthetics; it’s a matter of safety. Neglected trees can pose risks, such as falling branches or complete falls during storms. By conducting regular inspections and maintenance, you can ensure that your trees remain healthy and safe for you and your family.

Understanding Sydney’s Tree Removal Regulations

Understanding Sydney’s Tree Removal Regulations
Pruning and removing trees in Sydney are processes that require attention and care, not only for the health of the plants but also for compliance with local regulations. Before taking any action, it is essential to understand the guidelines established by the City of Sydney Council. Trees that meet certain criteria, such as those over 5 metres tall, with a canopy diameter greater than 5 metres or a trunk diameter exceeding 300 mm, generally require permission for pruning or removal.
🔍 When is Permission Required?
– Protected Trees: If the tree is listed as significant or poses a safety threat, you will need authorisation.
– Exemptions: Some trees may be pruned or removed without permission, particularly if they are dead or dying.
📝 Application Process:
1. Check Exemptions: Consult the Council’s Exemption Guidelines to determine if your tree qualifies.
2. Apply for Permission: If necessary, complete the Tree Pruning/Removal Application Form and pay the $95 fee. The Council will assess your request within 28 days.
3. Development Consent: For trees in development areas, additional consent may be required.
⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance: Removing or pruning trees without proper permission can result in significant fines, reaching up to $2 million for businesses and $500,000 for individuals.
Our team of qualified arborists is ready to provide tree pruning and removal services that comply with all local regulations.
Our Services Include:
– Professional Pruning: Keep your trees healthy, avoiding future problems and damage to your property.
– Safe Removal: If removal is necessary, we ensure a safe and hassle-free process.

– Avoid costs associated with emergency removals.
– Protect your property from damage to roofs, fences, and power lines.

Remove or Prune: What’s the Best Option for Your Trees?

Remove or Prune: What’s the Best Option for Your Trees?
At Home Tree Services, we know that caring for your trees is essential to keeping your garden beautiful, safe, and compliant with local council regulations.
A common question homeowners face is: should I remove or simply prune my tree?
Alongside tree health and safety, it’s important to remember that in many areas local council approval is required before carrying out significant pruning or complete tree removal.
Pruning: Maintenance and Healthy Growth
Pruning is the best option when you want to:
•Remove dead, diseased, or poorly positioned branches
•Improve sunlight penetration and airflow
•Encourage healthy, balanced growth
•Reduce risks of falling branches causing damage
In some cases, even pruning may require council approval, especially if the tree is a protected native species or covered under local environmental regulations.
Removal: When It’s Necessary
Safe tree removal is recommended when a tree:
•Is severely diseased or infested with pests
•Has suffered major structural damage
•Poses an immediate risk to people or property
💡 Important to note:
Before removing a tree, you must check whether it’s protected by council regulations.
At Home Tree Services, we can guide you through the entire process, including applying for the necessary permits, ensuring the job is done legally, safely, and responsibly.
Expert Assessment and Guidance
Our experienced arborists begin with a detailed assessment, carefully evaluating the condition of your tree and explaining the best options: pruning, treatment, or removal.
We’ll also help you understand and comply with local council rules, preventing fines and making sure the service is fully approved.

Tree Health Care: Keep Your Garden Strong and Safe This Spring
Spring is a season of growth and renewal, making it the perfect time to ensure your trees are healthy, well-maintained, and safe.
At Home Tree Services, we value every tree and understand that preventive care is key to avoiding problems in the future.
In many cases, the right pruning or specialist treatment is enough to restore a tree’s vitality. However, when a tree poses a risk to your property, family, or garden, responsible removal may be the most appropriate choice.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, where our experienced arborists carefully examine the health of each tree and discuss the best solutions with you.
Depending on the situation, we may recommend pruning, structural support, or, when necessary, the safe removal of a tree.
Using modern equipment and advanced techniques, we complete every job with a strong focus on safety and environmental responsibility.
Once the work is done, we leave the area clean and tidy, with the option to repurpose the wood, such as turning it into mulch for your garden.
With more than 15 years of experience, Home Tree Services is dedicated to providing a reliable, respectful, and sustainable service.
Our mission is to care for your trees and outdoor spaces, ensuring beauty and safety for you and your family.

Regular Tree Pruning
As winter comes to an end, gardens across Sydney begin to wake up. The days get longer, the air warms, and our trees prepare for a season of growth. This is the perfect moment to give them the care they need so they stay strong, safe, and healthy.
Why focus on tree care in spring?
During spring, trees enter their most active growth period. A well-timed prune or health check not only improves their appearance but also prevents issues from becoming big problems. Removing dead or unsafe branches reduces risks around your home, while mulching and proper irrigation create the right conditions for fresh growth.
The benefits go beyond beauty.
✔️ Safer outdoor spaces for your family
✔️ Healthier trees that thrive all year round
✔️ Protection for roofs, fences, and power lines
✔️ A cleaner, sunnier garden environment
At Home Tree Services, our team of professional arborists knows Sydney’s trees, from large gums to decorative backyard plants. We provide pruning, removals, stump grinding, mulching and expert advice on council approvals, always with safety and care in mind.
We offer FREE site inspections and expert advice on council regulations.
