What removing your tree involves
We approach tree removal as a controlled, planned process that protects people, property and the environment around it. You may want to remove a dead tree, a dangerous tree, or simply a tree in the wrong place.
Tree removal can be complex, but we make it simple. You’ll get qualified advice, clear communication, and a team that puts safety and results first.
Here’s what you should know.
Every job starts with a risk assessment
We evaluate the tree’s health, size, location, and surroundings to plan a safe removal strategy that avoids damage to nearby homes, fences, driveways, or services.
Council permits may apply
In some areas, tree removal requires council approval. We can advise you on what’s needed based on your location and the tree type.
Specialist equipment is essential
We use professional-grade tools, climbing systems, elevated work platforms (EWPs), and compact loaders to manage everything from large gum trees to difficult access jobs.

Tree removal
Common trees we remove across Adelaide
We work with all kinds of trees across Adelaide’s residential, commercial, and rural areas. Some species grow too fast, drop heavy limbs, or end up in the wrong place. Others have outlived their purpose in the landscape.
Here are some of the trees we’re most often called to remove:
- Gum trees (Eucalyptus)
Known for rapid growth and heavy branches. Often removed due to storm damage, structural risk, or interference with homes and sheds. - Pine trees
Tall, dense, and prone to leaning. Many clients remove them for safety or to open up space for better use of their land. - Conifers and large hedging trees
These may start small but quickly block driveways, paths or fence lines. Often removed during garden upgrades. - Olive and fruit trees
Removed when they become unproductive, messy, or are in the way of new landscaping or structures. - Self-seeded trees and invasive species
These often grow too close to walls, driveways or underground services. We safely remove them before they cause damage. - Palm trees
We also remove palm trees, but because they require a different technique. The removals of palm trees are covered on their own dedicated Palm Tree Removal
We manage height, safety & access for tree removals
While we face a variety of large and small-scale jobs every day, we approach every task with the same work ethic. Safety, precision and dedication are central to our performance, and your job will be no different!
If you choose us for your tree removal job, you’ll pay a fair price to a team that genuinely cares. You can inquire through our form submission page, phone, or email. Tree removal is rarely straightforward. Some trees are tall and unstable, and fences, homes, sheds or power lines surround others. Every job comes with its risks, but we’re trained and equipped to handle them all.
Here’s how we prepare and solve different removal situations.
Tall or leaning trees
We use ropes, rigging systems and elevated work platforms (EWPs) to dismantle large trees safely from the top down without damaging nearby structures.
Confined spaces and limited access
Our team can work in tight yards, sloped blocks, and suburban gardens. We use compact machinery like our Avant loader to manoeuvre through side paths or narrow driveways.
Overhanging branches and hazards
When branches extend over roofs, fences or public spaces, we remove them with precision always prioritising safety and control.
Falling debris and clean-up
We control every removal stage to avoid impact damage and provide thorough clean-up afterwards.
We have the right equipment for the job
Not all tree jobs are identical, and not every contractor has the gear (or the know-how) to do them properly. Jack of All Trees has invested in professional-grade equipment that allows us to tackle everything from small backyard removals to complex jobs near buildings, roads, or tight access areas.
Here’s a look at some of the specialised equipment we use:
Cherry picker (EWP)
Used for tall or awkward trees where climbing isn’t ideal. Ensures safety and precision from above.
Avant loader
Compact and powerful. It’s deal for tight residential access, log removal, and green waste transport.
Stump grinder
For complete removal after tree felling. Fast and efficient with minimal disturbance to surrounding areas.
Removal of large gum trees
Project case study for safe removal and management of three large gum trees
Jack of All Trees was engaged to complete a complex tree management project involving three large gum trees located close to a residential building. The job required a combination of technical climbing, advanced pruning, structural bracing, complete tree removal and stump grinding. The entire project handled using our professional equipment and experienced arborist crew.
This is an excellent example of how we approach challenging removals with safety, planning, and care.
Scope of work - Learn more
This project involved different requirements for each tree.
Tree 1 and Tree 2 were retained and managed with precision pruning to reduce overhang above the building and balance the canopy. We removed large deadwood, corrected previous poor cuts, and installed a Cobra bracing system in Tree 1 for added structural support, as a professional arborist report recommended.
Tree 3 was structurally compromised and required full removal. After safely dismantling the tree, we carried out stump grinding to the maximum depth possible, considering underground services and root spread.
All green waste was removed from the site, and the area was left tidy and ready for future use.
Machinery & resources used - Learn more
To manage the risks and complexities of this job, we used a combination of advanced equipment and skilled operators:
- Climbing gear and certified arborist
For controlled, close-range pruning in tight spaces - Cherry picker (EWP)
Allowed us to reach high, unstable branches safely and efficiently - Avant loader
Transported logs and cleared green waste without damaging surrounding structures - Stump grinder
Enabled thorough stump removal after the tree was felled - Chipper
Mulched all green waste on-site for efficient disposal
This machinery allowed us to complete the job with minimal disruption to the property.
Challenges & execution - Learn more
Working so close to a residential structure meant there was no room for error. We had to plan rigging techniques carefully to avoid any impact on the building, and each limb was lowered under control. The deadwood removal and canopy balancing required expert judgement to maintain the trees’ long-term health while also addressing safety concerns.
Installing the Cobra bracing system involved elevated access and precise placement in line with the arborist’s report. Coordination between our crew and climbing arborist ensured the installation was completed securely and correctly.=
Tree removal outcome - Learn more
The entire project was completed safely and efficiently, with every step carried out in line with Australian Standards and the client’s arborist recommendations. Our team ensured the property was protected at every stage and kept the site clean and professional throughout the job.

Frequently asked questions about tree removals Adelaide

How much does tree removal cost in Adelaide?
The cost of tree removal depends on the size, species, location, and difficulty of access. Factors like how close the tree is to structures or power lines, and whether machinery like a cherry picker is needed, will affect pricing. We provide free site assessments and transparent quotes.
Do you handle council permits for tree removal?
Council approval is sometimes required, especially for regulated or significant trees. While we don’t apply for permits on your behalf, we can advise you on the process and provide the necessary documentation to support your application.
Can you remove large trees close to buildings or fences?
Yes, we specialise in safe tree removals in tight spaces. Using equipment like cherry pickers, rigging systems, and our experienced climbing arborists, we safely dismantle trees section by section to protect surrounding structures.
Do you offer stump removal as part of tree removal services?
Stump grinding is offered as an additional service. Some clients choose to leave the stump, but for a clean and level finish, we recommend including stump removal. This will be clearly itemised in your quote.
