Our Tree Removal Process
Every tree removal job is different, which is why we always start by assessing the site and understanding what’s around it. Some trees need climbing and sectioning, others need ground-based machinery or rigging to avoid nearby structures. Whatever the case, we’re fully trained and equipped to handle it.
Our team uses professional tools and follows industry-standard safety procedures to ensure every job is carried out with care. We also keep you informed throughout the process, so there are no surprises and everything runs smoothly. It’s not just about removing the tree—it’s about leaving the space safer, tidier and ready for whatever you’ve got planned next.
We follow a proven, safety-first methodology tailored to each site and tree:
1. Comprehensive On-Site Assessment
Our arborists inspect the tree, surroundings, access and risk factors.
2. Strategic Planning
We determine the safest removal method, from sectional dismantling to ground-based machinery or rigging for tight spaces.
3. Safe Execution
Our team uses industry-standard safety procedures, protective gear and professional tools to manage even complex removals.

We leave your property tidy, chipping, recycling or removing green waste as you prefer.

Safety & Environmental Responsibility
At Tropical Tree Solutions, safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our team follows strict industry safety standards and proven arborist best-practice methods to ensure every tree removal is carried out with precision and care. We carefully assess each site to protect your property, your neighbours and our crew, and we work efficiently to minimise noise, disruption and mess throughout the process.
We’re equally committed to caring for the environment. All green waste is responsibly managed, from chipping and mulching to recycling wherever possible, so nothing goes to landfill unnecessarily. In Cairns’ unique tropical environment, we also take extra steps to consider local wildlife, root systems that may be impacting underground services and potential soil erosion risks that can arise after a tree is removed. With deep knowledge of FNQ’s climate and ecosystem, we remove trees in a way that protects both your property and the environment around it.
The Price Of Tree Removal in Cairns
The cost of tree removal depends on more than just the tree’s size. Factors such as species, site access, surrounding structures, safety risks and equipment requirements all influence the final price. Larger or hazardous trees often require specialised machinery, extra labour and careful planning, while limited access or proximity to buildings and powerlines increases complexity. Optional services like stump grinding, cleanup and additional pruning can also affect overall costs, making a detailed, professional quote essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Cairns?
In Cairns, council approval may be required to remove certain trees, especially those that are protected, large or located within regulated areas. However, dead, dying or dangerous trees may be exempt if they pose an immediate safety risk. A qualified arborist can assess the tree and advise whether a permit is needed, and many services can assist with the approval process if required.
How long will the tree removal take?
Tree removal time depends on the tree’s size, condition and location. Small trees may be removed within a few hours, while larger or hazardous trees can take a full day or longer. Limited access, nearby structures or powerlines, and weather conditions in Cairns can also extend the timeframe. Your arborist should provide an estimated duration after inspecting the site.
What happens to the debris and stump?
After tree removal, all branches, logs and green waste are typically cut down and removed from the site. Many arborists chip smaller material into mulch, which can be left onsite or taken away. Stump grinding is usually offered as an optional service, using specialised equipment to grind the stump below ground level to prevent regrowth and clear the area for landscaping or construction.
What should I do if a neighbour’s tree is a risk?
If a neighbour’s tree poses a safety risk, start by documenting the issue with photos and noting any visible signs such as leaning, cracked limbs, decay or storm damage. Raise the concern with your neighbour in writing and recommend a professional arborist assessment. In Cairns, council approval may be required to remove or heavily prune certain trees, even on private property. If the tree threatens immediate danger, a qualified arborist can assess whether emergency action is permitted under safety exemptions. If the issue remains unresolved, Cairns Regional Council or your insurer may provide further guidance.
