Tree Removal Albury-Wodonga
Removal of dead, dangerous or unwanted trees across Albury and Wodonga, from a single drought-stressed gum in a Lavington backyard to a river red gum leaning toward a house near the Murray floodplain.
Most trees we take down in Albury-Wodonga can't simply be felled — the block is too tight, there's a structure in the drop zone, or the tree is on the floodplain and the root plate is unpredictable. So we climb them and work from the top down, lowering each section on rope before moving to the next. The crew reads the lean, the species response, the weight distribution and the access before any saw goes in.
Older Albury streets and the more recent Wodonga estates both throw up the same access challenge: a side gate that's just wide enough for a person, a brick path running between a fence and the house, and no room to swing a large limb. Sometimes we crane over the roofline. Sometimes material gets hand-balled to the front yard and fed through the chipper at the kerb. The plan is worked out on the ground during the quote visit, not assumed on the phone.
Once the canopy is gone and the trunk sections are on the ground, small material goes through the chipper on site. Heavier red gum or yellow box rounds are cut and stacked along the fence if you want firewood, or loaded and hauled if you don't. The drop zone is raked and paths are blown before we leave. Stump grinding sits on its own line in the quote — include it if the area is being returfed or repaved, skip it if not.

When you might need this
- → A backyard gum has outgrown the block and shades the house year-round
- → Roots are lifting paving, pool decking or a concrete path
- → The trunk has cracked, split or developed a heavy lean after a storm
- → The tree fouls overhead lines or a service drop into the house
- → Constant bark, leaf or seed drop is blocking gutters
- → Council has approved a removal permit and the tree needs to go
- → A renovation or extension requires the footprint cleared

Tree Removal FAQs
What does tree removal in Albury Wodonga typically cost?
A small yard tree under six metres with good access runs around the $300 to $600 range. A medium gum on a standard block comes in around $800 to $1,800. Anything over twelve metres, leaning toward a structure or near overhead lines is $2,000 and up, depending on rigging complexity and whether a crane or EWP is needed.
Can the crew get into a tight side gate?
Usually yes. Our narrow-access chipper and stump grinder are sized to clear a 900mm gate, which covers most older Albury homes and the infill blocks around Lavington and West Albury. If the path is narrower than that, we walk it during the quote and work out an alternative — craning over the roof or routing material through the front with a neighbour's help.
What happens to the wood after the tree comes down?
Small material goes through the chipper on site. You can keep the chips as garden mulch, leave them in a pile, or pay a haulage line to take them away. Larger rounds from red gum or yellow box get stacked along the fence for firewood on request — both species burn well in a slow-combustion heater.
How do you handle trees close to overhead lines?
Anything within the regulated clearance zone around a live span has to be made safe by the network operator first. Ring Essential Energy on 13 20 80 and they will isolate the span. Once the wires are dead, the crew can climb and section the tree. We coordinate the timing so the power-off window is as short as possible.
