Palm tree removal Sydney jobs we do every week
Cocos palms are the most common palm tree removal Sydney homeowners book — they drop heavy seed pods, attract bats and rats, and outgrow small yards fast. We also remove and prune date palms, golden canes and cabbage tree palms. Note that the cabbage tree palm (Livistona australis) is protected in NSW as a native species in some situations, so we check your council rules before cutting — you can read about protected species on the NSW Environment site.
Pruning, cleaning and stump options
Not every palm needs to come out. Palm tree trimming Sydney wide is a big part of our week — de-nutting cocos palms, removing dead fronds and cleaning trunks so palms look sharp and stop dropping debris. When a palm does come out, we can grind the stump the same day and leave the area ready for turf or planting.
Areas we service
Our crews handle palm tree removal Sydney wide from Mortdale — the St George area, Sutherland Shire down to Cronulla, North Shore suburbs and out through Parramatta and the Hills District. Every quote is fixed, every job is insured to $20M, and every site is left clean.
Palm tree removal cost depends on height, access and whether the fronds and trunk can drop freely or need lowering in sections — a small cocos in an open yard is a quick job, while a tall date palm behind a pool needs climbing, rigging and more time. Send through a photo with your address and we will give you a fixed price the same day, usually without needing a site visit.
