Tree Removal Lismore

We recommend regular pruning and tree maintenance if you want to avoid the need for complete removal in future. This includes checking the tree for arboreal diseases or storm-proofing the trees with the assistance of a qualified arborist.

Yes, typically you will need a permit to remove a tree in Lismore. This is due to the tree protection laws put in place by the local council. These laws vary depending on the tree size, species and location, so it's best to check with the council before proceeding with any tree removal. In Lismore, routine maintenance, removal of dead or dying vegetation, risk reduction, fire safety and weed removal, may be exempt from approval. A list of exemptions and definitions can be found on the Lismore City Council’s website. At Steve Cubis Tree Services, we're well-versed in local regulations and can help guide you through this process. 

The duration to remove a tree can vary quite a bit. It depends on factors like the size, location and complexity of the tree. For instance, a small tree in an open area might take only an hour or two. On the other hand, a large tree close to buildings or power lines might take a day or more. We'll provide you with an estimated completion time after assessing the tree in question.
