Introduction: Why Tree Removal in Sydney Matters
Sydney’s canopy of gums, jacarandas and palms is part of the city’s identity. But storms, age, disease and root systems can turn once-healthy trees into hazards. When branches overhang roofs, trunks split, or roots lift concrete and pipework, professional tree removal in Sydney becomes essential.
Triple T Tree Services delivers fully-insured, council-aware, safety-first tree services across Sydney (and select Melbourne projects). From emergency tree removal to palm removals and precision stump grinding, our certified arborists protect people, property and landscapes—without surprises on cost or timelines.
Got a Dangerous Tree? Safe & Fast Tree Removal Sydney
After high winds or heavy rain, even a stable tree can become unsafe. Call a professional if you see:
- Cracks or splitting in the trunk / major scaffolds
- Hollow, decayed or mushroom growth at the base
- Leaning trees, especially toward structures or powerlines
- Deadwood raining down after storms
- Roots lifting soil, pipes, slabs or retaining walls
Our 24/7 emergency tree removal Sydney team stabilises the site, sets exclusion zones, and dismantles trees with controlled rigging or cranes. For step-by-step actions when a tree falls, read: Emergency Tree Removal Sydney – What to Do.

Deep-dive: Top 10 reasons to hire tree removal Sydney experts.
Tree Removal Sydney Cost (with Melbourne Comparison)
Every tree is unique—species, height, diameter, access and risk profile all influence price. Use the averages below as a guide only; on-site assessment provides the most accurate quote.
| Service | Typical Range (AUD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small tree removal (<5m) | $250 – $500 | Simple access; light rigging |
| Medium tree (5–10m) | $500 – $1,500 | May require sectional dismantle |
| Large tree (10–20m+) | $1,500 – $3,000+ | Complex rigging or crane |
| Palm tree removal | $300 – $800 | Species, height & access dependent |
| Stump grinding | $150 – $400 | Diameter, roots & site constraints |
Sydney vs Melbourne: Certain Melbourne jobs can be 10–15% lower where access is easier and permits are simpler; heritage or CBD constraints can exceed Sydney’s averages.

Palm Tree Removal Sydney – Specialised Solutions
Palms can be deceptively complex: spiked fronds, heavy crowns and tight urban access demand skilled dismantling. We use climbers, controlled lowering and cranes where appropriate, and we can also clean or crown-reduce palms when full removal isn’t required.
When removal makes sense
- Unstable or diseased palms
- Roots impacting pools, paving, pipes
- Mess management (fruit, fronds, bats)
Stump Removal & Grinding in Sydney
Leaving stumps can invite termites, cause trip hazards and even regrow. Our grinders take stumps down to ~300mm below grade (deeper by request), making way for re-turfing, paving or replanting.
What affects stump price?
- Diameter & species (fibrous vs dense)
- Proximity to walls, services and fences
- Number of stumps and access width
