Tree Work in Doncaster
Doncaster has a lot of native gums and larger blocks on sloping ground, which can mean big trees near houses and tricky access. Manningham's canopy-tree rules depend on where the trunk is on your lot, so we check that first.

Do I Need a Permit in Doncaster?
Doncaster is in the Manningham Council. Manningham applies the statewide canopy tree rules (Clause 52.37): a tree over 5 m tall, with a trunk circumference over 0.5 m at 1.4 m above ground and a canopy at least 4 m wide. On a lot with an existing house, a permit is generally needed for a canopy tree whose trunk is within 6 m of the street frontage or 4.5 m of the rear boundary. Dead trees, weed species, maintenance pruning and emergency works are exempt.
Most backyard trees in the middle of a Manningham block can be removed without a permit, but front-yard and rear-boundary trees often can't. We'll check where the trunk sits before you book.

How quickly can you quote in Doncaster?
We're based on High Street, Kew East, so we can usually get to Doncaster for a free on-site quote within 24 hours. We answer 24/7, so fallen or dangerous trees get a fast response day or night.
Do you clean up and take the green waste away?
Yes. Every job includes full clean-up: branches are chipped or taken away, logs removed and the site raked, so you're not left with a pile to deal with.
Can you remove a tree close to my house or fence in Doncaster?
Yes. Tight backyards and trees over roofs are common in Doncaster. We climb and lower the tree down in sections with ropes and rigging, so nothing drops on the house, fence or garden.
