Tree guides and adviceStraight answers for Redlands yards.
Costs, council rules, storm damage and everyday tree care, written by a local tree crew. 52 guides and articles, newest first.
Costs
Tree removal cost depends on how big the tree is, how easy it is to reach and what is standing around it. This guide sets out the ranges that Brisbane-area price guides publish, what pushes a price up or down, and how to compare quotes so you are comparing like with like.
Costs
Stump grinding cost mostly comes down to how wide the stump is, how many there are and whether a grinder can get to them. This guide gives the ranges that Brisbane-area price guides publish, explains how grinding works and how it differs from digging a stump out, and shows what changes the price.
Costs
Palm tree removal cost depends mostly on how tall the palm is, what species it is and what is underneath it and around it: a pool, a roof, a power line. This guide gives the ranges Brisbane-area price guides publish, explains what moves the price, and shows what customers say about palm jobs.
Council and the law
Tree removal permission in Redland City depends on the tree and the property, not on how big the tree is: the property’s zone and overlays, and any covenant or condition on it. This guide follows what Redland City Council publishes and says plainly where something could not be confirmed.
Storms and safety
Queensland’s severe weather season runs from October to April. When a storm brings a tree down, the first jobs are about safety, not chainsaws. This guide covers what to do first, who to call, when to call a tree crew and what storm damage tree removal tends to cost.
Pruning
In the Redlands, “tree lopping” is what most people call any tree cutting. To an arborist the two words mean very different things, and the difference shows up in how your tree grows back.
Council and the law
There are no single, simple tree removal laws for a Queensland home owner. Your council, the Neighbourhood Disputes Act, State vegetation and koala rules, and electrical safety law can all apply to the same tree. This guide covers Queensland and the Redlands only, in plain English. It is general information, not legal advice.
Hiring an arborist
Whether you call them a tree surgeon, an arborist or a tree lopper, the questions to ask before you book are the same. This guide covers insurance, qualifications (what AQF level 3 and level 5 mean), written quotes, clean-up, council approval and the red flags to watch for.
