TREE WORK FOR LANE COVE PROPERTIES
Need a hedge brought back under control, branches cut off a roof, a tree removed or green waste taken away in Lane Cove? Top Quality Tree Services works across Sydney, including Lane Cove, Lane Cove North, Lane Cove West, Longueville, Riverview, Northwood and Greenwich, for houses, strata properties and commercial sites.
Lane Cove gardens back onto bushland, sit on slopes, and hold trees that were here long before the houses. Tell us what needs attention and what it is close to, and we will prepare a clear, free quote.

Lane Cove is built around bushland. The national park and the river reserves run through the middle of it, gullies drop away behind the houses, and the streets are held together by mature natives — angophoras, blackbutts, turpentines and big established screening plantings between neighbours.
It makes for a green suburb and a particular set of jobs:
You do not need to know what any of it is called. Describe what you can see and what it is affecting.

Hedge and screening work is what people in Lane Cove ask us about most.
Long boundary hedges do a lot of work in this suburb — privacy between houses that sit close on a slope, a screen against a road, a green wall at the back of a garden. They also grow. Once a hedge is well above head height it stops being trimmable from the ground, starts taking light off the garden or the neighbour's, and eventually becomes a row of small trees rather than a hedge.
Tell us roughly how long the hedge is, how high it is now, how high you want it, and whether we can get along both sides of it. That is usually enough for a quote. More on hedge trimming and shrub pruning.

A lot of Lane Cove properties back onto a reserve, a gully or the national park, and that changes a job in three practical ways.
Access. There is usually no way in from behind. Everything comes down the side of the house or through a neighbour, and material has to be carried back out the same way.
Where material can go. Cut material cannot simply be pushed into a reserve. It has to leave the property, which is part of the quote.
Whose tree it is. If the tree is on public or reserve land rather than on your property, it is a matter for Council, not something we can take on privately. If you are not sure where the boundary sits, say so — it is a common and reasonable question.
Tell us which side of the fence the trunk is on, and what is behind it. If you are not certain, a photo taken from a safe position usually settles it.
For a tree that is dead, damaged, unsafe, too big for the space, or in the way of planned work. On a steep or bush-edge block, removal is done in sections rather than felled, because there is rarely anywhere for a whole tree to go. The full detail sits on our Tree Removal Sydney page.
For a tree you want to keep. Tree pruning is targeted — clearance over a roof or a boundary, thinning to let light through, taking weight off a long limb. Tree lopping reduces the overall size of a tree that has outgrown its position. Tell us what is bothering you and we will tell you which one fits.
For branches, cuttings, bark and garden material that need to leave the property, whether or not we did the cutting. On a bush-edge block with no rear access, this is often the whole job. See green waste removal.
Grinding a stump is separate work from removing the tree. If you want the ground clear for planting or paving, say so in the same enquiry and both will be quoted together. More on stump grinding in Sydney.
Under a mature native canopy, gutters and valleys fill with leaf litter and bark year round. Separate work, often quoted alongside pruning. See gutter cleaning in Sydney.
For palms above a courtyard, a pool or a path, and the fronds and seed heads they drop. See palm tree removal.
For a fallen tree, a hanging limb, storm damage or blocked access. We can be contacted 24/7 for emergency tree services.

Lane Cove is in the Lane Cove Council area, and Council sets its own requirements for pruning and removing trees on private land. Those requirements can change, and what applies depends on the tree and the property. Council also manages trees on public and reserve land separately.
Check Council's current information before you arrange work. Where Council requires a particular approval, or a particular kind of contractor for a protected tree, that is Council's requirement — not something we decide, waive or arrange.
We do not decide council requirements, apply for permits, prepare formal reports, arrange them, refer you to anyone who does, or promise an approval outcome. What we do is the physical tree work, once you are ready to organise it.
You can also read more about council tree removal rules in Sydney.
Rules can vary by property and proposed work. Check the current information for your council area before arranging tree work. Lane Cove Council tree information

Steep blocks and gullies — gardens well below the house, stairs instead of a path, and trees that cannot be reached from the street at all. This is the most common Lane Cove access issue by a distance.
Bush-edge properties — no rear access, limited room to drop material, and everything carried back out through the property.
Narrow, winding streets — where a truck can stand, and how far material has to travel to reach it.
Townhouse and strata complexes — shared driveways, visitor parking and a body corporate or strata manager who has to approve the work.
If you are not sure what matters, tell us where the access point is. A photo taken from a safe position usually tells us the rest.

Photos help. There is no upload on this form — text them to 0412 482 430. Only take them from a safe position: never climb, and never stand under a damaged tree.

If a tree has come down, a limb is hanging, or storm damage has blocked a driveway or an entrance, keep everyone clear and contact us about the emergency. We offer 24/7 emergency tree services.
If there is an immediate danger to life, or a powerline is involved or down, contact emergency services or your electricity network provider first. Never approach a fallen tree that is touching wires.

Yes, and it is the work we are asked for most in Lane Cove. Tell us roughly how long the hedge is, how high it is now, how high you want it, and whether we can get along both sides.
Not necessarily, but it depends on the plants and how far they have gone. Tell us the height you want, text a photo to 0412 482 430, and we will tell you honestly what is achievable rather than what sells a job.

Yes, in three ways: there is usually no access from behind, cut material has to come back out through the property, and if the tree is on reserve land rather than yours it is a Council matter. Tell us which side of the fence the trunk is on.
No. Trees on public or reserve land are managed by Council. We work on trees on your property, once you are ready to organise it.
It depends on the tree and the property, and Council's requirements can change. Check Council's current information for your own address before arranging work.
No. We do not apply for permits, prepare formal reports, arrange them, refer you elsewhere for one, or decide whether approval is needed. We carry out the physical tree work once you are ready to organise it.
No. We provide Sydney-wide service, which is coverage rather than a local base. We do not claim an office, depot or local crew in Lane Cove or any other suburb.
It is very common here and it is not a problem, but it does affect the quote. Tell us how the tree is reached — stairs, a track, or no ground access at all.
The tree, hedge or material, the work you want done, what is underneath and around it, and how we can reach it. On a steep or bush-edge block, access is usually the biggest factor. We do not have a set price for every job — every property is different, so every quote is different. Contact us and we will give you a fixed-price quote for your property. That price covers the work we agree on, and it does not go up because the job turns out to be harder than it looked. If you ask us to do more while we are there, the extra work is quoted separately.
Yes. Green-waste removal is a service in its own right, and on a block with no rear access it is often the whole job. Tell us roughly how much material there is and where it is sitting.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency help. Keep clear of the area and contact us with what has happened and where. If a powerline is involved or there is an immediate danger to life, contact emergency services or your electricity network provider first.
Our office hours are Monday to Sunday, 9am to 7pm. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week for a genuine urgent tree problem such as a fallen tree, a hanging limb or blocked access. Answering the phone at any hour is not the same as promising a crew on site by a set time, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Yes. We offer a 10% discount for pensioners. Mention it when you enquire and we will apply it to your quote.
No. We provide tree services Sydney-wide. Lane Cove is one of the North Shore areas we serve, and the North Shore page covers the wider region.
