Tree services in Pimpama: what we see and what we do
Pimpama is almost entirely new estates, built over the last 15 years on the flat former cane and farm land between Ormeau and Coomera, with the Pimpama River and its wetlands along the northern edge. Blocks are small and the trees are young and planted tight: golden canes, foxtail palms, Alexandra palms, tuckeroos, magnolias and lilly pilly hedges. Along the river and in the remaining farm pockets there are paperbarks, she-oaks and river gums.
Pimpama work for the crew is estate maintenance: palms that have outgrown narrow side yards, trees planted too close to slabs, hedge trimming and stump grinding. The City of Gold Coast treats trees over 4 metres tall or 40 centimetres in circumference as assessable vegetation, so removal may need an application once a tree passes that size, and we check it during the quote (City of Gold Coast). Estate covenants sometimes add their own rules, and we can work within them.
Things to watch on Pimpama properties
- Foxtail and golden cane palms outgrowing narrow side yards
- Trees planted against slabs and pool fences by the builder
- Paperbarks and river gums along the Pimpama River wetlands

City of Gold Coast rules for Pimpama trees
The City of Gold Coast treats any tree over 4 metres tall or with a trunk circumference over 40cm at 1.3 metres as assessable vegetation, along with mapped native and remnant vegetation. Removal is accepted development without an application in a number of situations, including near boundaries and buildings (the distance depends on lot size), within 1.5 metres of a pool fence, pest species, bushfire hazard around a dwelling and trees confirmed dangerous by a council arborist; otherwise an operational works application is needed. We check the situation for your lot before we quote.
