Overgrown tree assessment in Wollongong & Illawarra

Choose a careful way to manage growth.

A tree that feels too large may have options other than heavy cutting. An arborist can assess clearance, condition, likely regrowth and the effect of proposed cuts.

Prepare a useful overgrown tree assessment enquiry

Explain what problem the tree causes and when it happens. Include photos from your property and the tree base.

Compare the written scope

Compare selective pruning, ongoing maintenance and removal only after the tree and any consent requirements have been assessed.

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.
