Trees are an essential part of our homes and public spaces, and while we love the greenery they provide, occasionally they need to be felled and removed for a number of reasons. You may need to remove a tree because it is:
There are many different tree lopping techniques that can be used. At Springwood Tree Works, Paul will work with you to determine how best to manage your needs. This may depend on the size of the tree, it’s location and access of your property and any restrictions that may be either imposed by Local Council or by the Heritage Council.
Once a tree is removed, the remaining stump can be ground using a stump grinder. These machines consist of a spinning wheel with teeth that mulches the stump. The leftover product is a fine mulch that can be left to settle and fills the hole where the tree once stood or can be spread over the surrounding garden.
Pruning your trees is a necessary part of maintaining your property for both aesthetic and safety reasons, and also improves the health and extends the life of the tree. Reasons to prune your trees include:
Pruning should be carried out to the Australian Standard by an experienced arborist to avoid taking the shape out of the tree and causing damage to the tree. At Springwood Tree Works, we understand the biological structure of tree species, and also have the training to carry out work safely.
Trees create dead wood naturally. This is where branches die and become brittle and eventually break. Dead Wooding is a process that improves the health and aesthetics of the trees and importantly makes them safe from falling limbs. It is generally recommended for dead wood trees in high traffic areas, over houses and driveways.
If you are about to commence building on a new block, Springwood Tree Works can assist with clearing the land. These jobs usually require extensive man hours that involve climbing, felling and clearing.

In 2014, the NSW Government introduced the 10/50 vegetation clearing rule in response to the 2013 bush fires in NSW. This rule allows property owners living within a Category 1 and Category 2 Bush Fire Prone Land (known as the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Entitlement Area) to remove trees within 10 metres of their home.
For more information, visit the RFS website.
You can find out if your property is in a 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Entitlement Area using the RFS online tool. You should check this tool immediately prior to attempting to remove any vegetation, as the entitlement area may have changed, otherwise we can look this up for you.
