Common questions
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?
Often yes. Most councils protect trees above a certain size or of listed species. Check before booking, because illegal removal fines run into the tens of thousands.
Is stump grinding included in tree removal quotes?
Usually not. Expect it as a separate line item, and confirm whether green waste haulage is included or left kerbside.
