Leave the site ready for what comes next.
Branches, logs and wood chips can take more space than expected after tree work. Decide upfront what should stay and what should leave the property.
Prepare a useful green waste & branch removal enquiry
Show the pile size or describe the proposed tree work. Say whether you want mulch or firewood retained.
Compare the written scope
Check chipping, log cutting, loading, disposal, access and final rake-up in the written scope.
Ask for the work method, qualifications, insurance, timing, exclusions, permit responsibility and clean-up in writing. Tree condition and access may require a site inspection before a final price.
Check the local rules
Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama each publish guidance for tree work. Permission may be required even on private land. Start with the tree permission guide and confirm requirements with your council.
A common question
Can I keep the wood chips?
Often, if arranged before work begins. Confirm where the crew can safely place them.
