Tree work in North Brisbane

The northside is a longer drive from Sheldon, 40 minutes to an hour depending on the suburb, so we group northside jobs and are usually up there a couple of days a week. The work is much like the south: mature gums and camphor laurels over 60s and 70s houses in Aspley, Stafford, Kedron and Everton Park; leafy, hilly bush blocks at The Gap, Ashgrove and Albany Creek with eucalypts on steep ground; coastal trees at Sandgate and Bracken Ridge; and the newer estates at Bridgeman Downs, Carseldine and North Lakes with cocos palms, golden canes and lilly pilly hedges that have got away.

Northside clients usually find us through a neighbour or a job we did nearby, and the same rule applies as everywhere else: a written quote, a fixed price, the chipper on the day, and the yard cleaned before we leave.

Brisbane City Council / City of Moreton Bay tree removal rules

Most of the northside is Brisbane City Council, where the Natural Assets Local Law 2003 applies and the council fact sheet exempts trees within 3 metres of the house, trees under 30cm trunk diameter, dead and hazardous trees, and pruning of up to 20 per cent of foliage a year. Albany Creek, Strathpine, North Lakes and everything north of the Pine River is the City of Moreton Bay, which protects habitat trees and koala habitat through its planning scheme overlays and says you may need approval before clearing. We check whichever mapping applies to your address before quoting.

FAQ

Tree removal in North Brisbane: common questions

Do you cover all of North Brisbane?

Yes. We are based at Sheldon and work across the whole of North Brisbane, from Chermside to North Lakes. Each suburb has its own page above with local detail. If yours is not listed, ask; we probably still cover it.

Do I need a permit from Brisbane City Council / City of Moreton Bay to remove a tree?

Sometimes. Most of the northside is Brisbane City Council, where the Natural Assets Local Law 2003 applies and the council fact sheet exempts trees within 3 metres of the house, trees under 30cm trunk diameter, dead and hazardous trees, and pruning of up to 20 per cent of foliage a year. The rest depends on the size of the tree, how close it is to the house and whether the property is in a mapped overlay. We check the mapping for your address as part of every quote and use the council's own published exemptions.

How much does tree removal cost in Brisbane North?

Published Brisbane guides put small trees at $300 to $900, medium trees at $800 to $2,500 and large trees over houses at $2,000 to $5,500, with palms usually $200 to $600 and stumps $80 to $400. Access and what is under the tree move the price more than height. Try the calculator for a range, then get a fixed written quote.

How quickly can you come out?

For quotes, usually within a day or two, and we can often give a rough figure from photos the same day. For jobs, typically within one to two weeks, faster for anything dangerous. After a storm, trees on houses and blocked driveways in Brisbane North come first.
