Do I need to do anything once I have booked Arbor Co?

No, you can go about your normal daily business, safe in the knowledge that a team of expert arborists are removing the problem tree without impacting your property or other trees.

Am I left with the remnants of the tree?

Again, no. We handle the process from the beginning to the end. If you would like the wood to remain on your property for firewood, that can also be arranged.

Am I contributing to green waste by having a tree removed?

No, as trained arborists, we have a great fondness for trees, and love to give them a new lease of life in whatever way possible. This might mean dropping them off to lumbar yards so that they can be milled into new pieces of timber. If the tree is unsuitable due to its shape or overall health, it will be chipped or disposed of as sustainably as possible.

Arborist & Tree Management Services for Local Councils

Managing trees across public land comes with complex responsibilities — from safety and compliance to environmental protection and community expectations. Councils must balance risk management with long-term sustainability, ensuring public spaces remain safe, functional, and ecologically valuable. Arbor Co delivers reliable council tree services Sydney local governments can depend on, supporting everything from routine maintenance to large-scale environmental projects.

Comprehensive Council Tree Services

We provide a full suite of council tree services across Sydney designed to support day-to-day operations and long-term asset management.

We also support park and reserve management, helping councils maintain healthy, safe, and well-presented green spaces.

Habitat Creation & Ecological Restoration

We deliver specialised council habitat creation services that support biodiversity, ecological restoration, and compliance with environmental requirements.

These services are designed to integrate seamlessly with broader municipal tree management strategies, supporting both environmental and community outcomes.
