Tree services we cover in Lake Albert

Lake Albert takes its name from the lake it sits beside, and the waterside planting is what makes tree work here different from the rest of Wagga. Willows and other moisture-loving species do well near the water — and they're also the ones most likely to drop limbs.

Worth knowing: willows are on Wagga Wagga City Council's Undesirable Plant Species list, so they can be removed without a permit whatever their size.

Council approval in Lake Albert

• The suburb has three schools — Lake Albert Public, Mater Dei Primary and Mater Dei Catholic College — and the Lake Village Shopping Centre, which has been there since 1980.
• It's heavily used for outdoor recreation, so overhanging limbs near paths and barbecue areas get noticed quickly.

Local knowledge that matters

Lake Albert is inside the Wagga Wagga City Council area, so the city's rules apply: approval is needed for any living tree 8 metres or taller, native vegetation in a wetland, and any tree on the Significant or Heritage register regardless of size.

A dead tree is exempt only if it's on a lot no larger than 0.2ha. Council also publishes an Undesirable Plant Species list — palms, willows, privet, camphor laurel and others — which can go without a permit at any size. The full rules are here.

Getting a quote

Most suburban removals sit between $800 and $2,500, with small trees from about $250 and anything over 10 metres starting around $2,500. Stump grinding is nearly always quoted separately, so say up front if you want the stump gone.
