A leaning tree is a problem that gets worse, not better.
Dead limbs don’t fix themselves. Stumps don’t rot away on a schedule. Hedges don’t grow back square. And the cowboy with a chainsaw isn’t coming back when something goes sideways.
Wait too long and the council gets involved, your insurance premiums bite, or a limb finds your roof in the next storm.
One phone call books a certified arborist, on site, with a written quote, council-ready paperwork, and the gear to do the job right the first time.

Structural, formative and aesthetic pruning to AS 4373-2007. We keep canopies strong, balanced and healthy without the hack job.
Hedge Trimming
Precision trimming for Lilly Pilly screens, photinia walls and formal hedges. Privacy, kerb appeal and a clean finish.
Tree Management

Stump Grinding
Stumps ground out below ground level, roots cleared, site raked back. Build-ready, no trip hazards, no eyesores.
Palm Maintenance
Pruning, de-seeding and treatment for palms across Sydney. Single specimens through to full avenue palms, kept neat and safe.
Is this the right crew for your job?
This is for you if...
- You’ve got a tree, stump, hedge or palm that needs handling safely.
- You live anywhere across Sydney Metro, from the Eastern Suburbs to the Northern Beaches.
- You want the job done to council standard with written compliance.
- You want a crew that turns up when they say they will and cleans up before they leave.
- You prefer a fixed, written quote over a phone guess.
This might not be for you if...
- You’re after the cheapest cowboy in the ute on Gumtree.
- You want unqualified labourers climbing your trees uninsured.
- You’re happy to skip council approval and roll the dice.
- You just need someone to sweep leaves off the lawn.
How a Wilkinson job runs.
Send your job through
Drop your details in the form, or ring us direct. Tell us what you’ve got: a tree, a stump, a hedge, or a problem you can’t quite name. Photos help, but aren’t required.
We visit, assess, quote
A certified arborist inspects the site, flags any council considerations, and hands you a fixed written quote. No call-out fee, no pressure, no upsell.
We get it done, spotless
Our insured crew turns up with the right gear, completes the work to AS 4373-2007 where pruning applies, and leaves the site clean. You get a neat property and the paperwork you need.
What our clients actually want.
Get it done before the next storm
Clients who call us have a tree or limb they already know is a risk. Speed matters. We quote fast and book in.
Keep the council off their back
Sydney councils have real rules on removal, pruning and protected species. The right paperwork means no fines and no rework.
A tidy property, not a war zone
Most tree crews leave the job site looking worse than when they arrived. We chip, mulch, haul and sweep before we go.
Here’s what every Wilkinson quote includes.
Not a headline price on the back of a flyer. The actual scope.
- Free on-site assessment. A certified arborist walks the job with you and flags any council or safety issues before quoting.
- Written fixed quote. One price, in writing, with the scope spelled out. No day-of surprises.
- Full public liability cover. Our crews are fully insured. You’re not carrying the risk if something goes sideways.
- Council-compliant paperwork. Where a permit or notice applies, we handle the standards and supply the paperwork.
- AS 4373-2007 pruning. When we prune, we prune to the revised Australian Standard for amenity trees. No hack jobs.
- Below-ground stump grinding. Stumps ground out, roots cleared, site raked back to build-ready. No trip hazards left behind.
- Chip, mulch and haul-away. Debris chipped, mulched, or carted off. Your driveway won’t look like a lumber yard when we leave.
- Same-day callback. Ring before 5pm on a weekday and we’ll get back to you before close of business.
The Wilkinson promise
Fully insured. Written quote. Clean site. No surprises.
The quote you sign is the quote you pay. Our crews are fully insured with public liability cover, so you’re not wearing the risk on your property. We work to the Australian Standard for amenity tree pruning, and we don’t leave until the site is swept clean. If anything about the scope changes on the day, we stop, explain, and re-quote in writing before we continue.
Questions we get a lot.
What does a tree removal or pruning job cost?
Every site is different. Tree size, access, council requirements and debris removal all move the price. We quote on-site, in writing, with a fixed total so you’re not guessing. No call-out fee.
How quickly can you come out?
Most Sydney jobs get an on-site assessment within 48 hours. Priority and storm-damage callouts are usually same-day or next-day, depending on crew availability.
Are you actually insured?
Yes. Public liability cover on every job, with a certificate of currency available on request before we start. If a crew ever shows up without cover, do not let them climb.
Do I need a council permit?
Depends on the tree, the species, and the council. Some removals need a permit; regulated pruning often does not. We check before we quote and handle the paperwork where it applies.
What happens to the stump and the debris?
We grind stumps below ground level, clear the major roots, and rake the site back to a clean finish. Debris gets chipped, mulched, or hauled off depending on what you prefer.
