Tree services in Rochedale South: what we see and what we do
Rochedale South is a 1970s and 80s suburb on Logan's northern edge, next to Springwood and bordered by Underwood Park and the Brisbane boundary. Blocks are a decent size and the streets carry mature trees from when the estates went in: leopard trees, jacarandas, cocos palms, umbrella trees and camphor laurels, plus tall blue gums and ironbarks left along the back fences and gullies. Many of those trees are now 40 years old and outgrowing their spots.
For Dan's crew, Rochedale South is a 20-minute run for gum removals in tight backyards, camphor laurel and umbrella tree removals, and crown reductions on big leopard trees and jacarandas. Logan City Council regulates clearing inside the Biodiversity Areas and Waterway Corridors overlays, which follow the gullies and park edges here, so we check your lot's mapping before quoting (Logan City Council). Anything within three metres of the street wires is planned to Energex's exclusion zones.

Logan City Council rules for Rochedale South trees
Logan protects vegetation through the Biodiversity Areas Overlay and the Waterway Corridors and Wetlands Overlay of the Logan Planning Scheme 2015. Outside those mapped areas, clearing on a lot under 5,000m² is generally exempt, as is a bushfire protection zone within 10 metres of a dwelling, garden and lawn maintenance, and removal of cadaghi and umbrella trees. Inside a Biodiversity Area, a koala corridor or a waterway corridor you need an operational works approval. Council has an online vegetation clearing decision tool and we run your address through the mapping before quoting.
