The crane set up along a residential street ahead of a large removal

Tree Services for Real Estate Brisbane

Street appeal is most of the first impression, and an overgrown front yard costs more at the photos than the tree work would have. We do pre-listing tree work across Brisbane on timeframes that fit a campaign.

We also assess trees before a purchase, which is the other half of this work and the half that saves buyers the most money.

Before the photos, and before the contract

Two quite different jobs sit under this. One is presentation — lifting a canopy off a facade, taking out a dead tree, clearing the frontage so the house is actually visible in the listing photos. The other is due diligence — a qualified opinion on a large tree over the house before someone commits to buying it, which occasionally changes the price and sometimes changes the decision.

What we do for agencies:

Crane and crew set up on a Brisbane residential street for a large removal

Worth knowing

What agents ask us most

Four things come up on nearly every campaign.

  • Can it be done before the photos

    Usually, if there is a bit of notice. Tell us the shoot date when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

  • Is the tree protected

    The awkward one. A vendor who removes a protected tree to improve the sale can create a far bigger problem than the tree was. Worth checking first.

  • Will the buyer’s inspection flag it

    A large tree over the house frequently gets raised. Knowing its condition before it comes up is better than negotiating on somebody else’s assessment.

  • What does the yard look like afterwards

    Chipped, raked and cleaned. A removal that leaves ruts and sawdust across the lawn defeats the point of doing it before photos.

Check the tree before it is removed, not after

The most expensive mistake on a pre-sale tidy-up is removing something that turned out to be protected. Councils across Brisbane apply vegetation protections that catch plenty of ordinary-looking suburban trees, and the penalties are real — Brisbane City Council publishes fines of up to $10,000 for removing protected vegetation without approval. A five-minute conversation before the chainsaw is the whole of the risk management here, and our council pages set out where each council stands.

Questions

Tree Services for Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions

  • It depends on the size of the work and how the week is looking. Small presentation work is usually straightforward; a large removal needs more notice, especially if a crane or traffic control is involved. Give us the shoot date and we will be honest about whether it is achievable.

  • Yes. A pre-purchase assessment of a significant tree tells a buyer what condition it is in and what it is likely to need, which is worth knowing before rather than after the contract.

  • We will tell you what we think applies and point you at the council rules. For anything marginal, confirm it with the council directly before the work goes ahead — the risk sits with the owner, not the agent.

  • Yes, and on pre-sale work that is half the job. Chipped, raked and left presentable, because the whole point is how it photographs.
