See Our FAQ’s
Got tree and strump removal questions? Well, we have answers.
Are you fully insured for tree removal and stump grinding?
Yes. DTS Tree & Stump Removal is fully insured and qualified to handle all residential and commercial tree work. We take every safety precaution to protect your property, our team, and the surrounding environment.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?
Some councils require a permit to remove or prune certain tree species or trees above a specific size. Our team can help you understand local council regulations and assist with the paperwork if approval is needed.
What happens to the tree once it’s cut down?
We remove all branches, trunks, and debris from your property unless you’d like to keep the wood for mulch or firewood. Our goal is to leave your site clean, tidy, and ready to use.
How much does tree removal cost?
Pricing depends on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Smaller trees can be removed for a few hundred dollars, while large or difficult jobs may cost more. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote before starting.
Can you remove trees near power lines or buildings?
Yes. Our experienced arborists are trained to safely remove and prune trees close to structures, fences, or power lines using specialised equipment and techniques to minimise risk.
Do you offer stump grinding after tree removal?
Absolutely. We can grind the stump down below ground level to remove all visible traces and allow for replanting, paving, or lawn installation.
Will my garden or lawn be damaged during the work?
We take great care to protect your garden, lawn, and surrounding areas. Our team uses ground protection mats and ropes to safely lower branches, ensuring minimal disturbance to your property.
How soon can you complete the job after quoting?
We typically schedule jobs within a few days, depending on workload and weather. Urgent removals or storm-damaged trees can be prioritised for same-day or next-day service.
