Common questions
All FAQs →Is the quote free and how fast can you come out?+
Yes, quotes are always free and no-obligation. We aim to quote within 24 hours — often the same day. For urgent or storm-damage jobs, call Danny directly on 08 7918 6018 rather than using the form.
When is cyclone season in Darwin and when should I prune my trees?+
Cyclone season in the NT officially runs from 1 November to 30 April. The best time to prune is during the dry season or the build-up, before the first storms arrive. Bookings get busy once the weather turns, so get in early.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my own property in Darwin?+
Generally not, if the tree is wholly on your private residential block. There are exceptions though: heritage-listed trees, trees on the council verge, and clearing native vegetation on larger or rural land can all have rules attached. Before we start any job we check whether anything applies to your tree, so you don't get caught out. If in doubt, give us a call and we'll talk you through it.
What's the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?+
Lopping traditionally means cutting branches back to stubs or topping a tree. Pruning to Australian Standard AS 4373 means making correct cuts back to a branch collar or suitable lateral. Proper pruning keeps trees healthy and safer in storms.
Who is responsible for trees near the powerline to my house?+
Property owners are responsible for keeping trees clear of their service line — the line from the pole to the house. Never trim near powerlines yourself; electricity can arc to branches and tools. Call us and we'll explain what can be done safely.
