Located in the south of the city of sydney the kogarah city council area borders much of botany bay and surrounding nature reserves. The area includes suburbs such as monterey, St George, Ramsgate, Dolls point, sans souci, sandringham and blakehurst.

In the area, trees grow at a fast pace given the ideal australian conditions with hot sun and regular rains. Having trees in the residential area can cause several risks including:

• Damage to under ground services such as power, gas and water
• Potential damage to homes from falling limbs and debris
• Potential damage to vehicles and other property
• Risk of injury and fatality to people moving around underneath the trees where damaged or rotten dangerous branches could fall and harm the individual

If any of the above is affecting your property, then you may have a genuine reason for the council to give you a permit to have the tree trimmed or removed. Some reasons as to why it may not be able to be removed include:

• Because it looks bad
• because it is old
• It drops leaves into the gutter

If you do have a genuine reason for disposing of a tree and you have the authorisation from the  council then you can contact a qualified arborist kogarah and get a quote.Just remember when getting a quote that you ask for the proof that the tree service provider has the correct qualifications and public liability insurance.
