Tree removal and pruning in Kings Park, done properly
Big trees, awkward trees, trees over the neighbour’s fence — Kings Park has its share, and most of them are perfectly manageable with the right rigging and a crew that does this daily. Aps Tree Removal removes and prunes trees across Kings Park and Albanvale, Delahey and Burnside, quotes free, and carries full insurance so the risk is ours, not yours.
The nearest suburbs we also cover are Albanvale (about a kilometre), Delahey (2 km), Burnside (2 km), so a job in Kings Park is often paired with one next door. 5 of the reviews on this site are from customers in Albanvale, Delahey and Burnside, next door to Kings Park. Going by those reviews, the work around Kings Park has mostly been clean-up and mulching (4), tree removal (2) and stump grinding (1).
Where a tree is over a house, a shed or a neighbour’s yard, nothing free-falls. A climber sets rigging points, each limb is tied off, cut and lowered under control, and the trunk comes down in short blocks. It is slower than felling and it is the only safe way to do most Kings Park backyards.
Crown reductions are measured, not guessed. We agree the finished height and spread with you, cut back to suitable growth points so the tree recovers with a natural shape, and never “top” a tree — a topped tree regrows weak, fast and dangerous, and ends up costing more.

A tip from Api
A tree that has started to lean, or has a crack opening at a fork, is not a tree to wait on in Kings Park’s spring winds. Ring for a look — the assessment is free and most of the time the news is better than you fear.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree in Kings Park?
The rule that applies to a tree in a Kings Park garden is the Brimbank Local Laws — here is what it says.
Brimbank’s position is that trees on private property are the owner’s to look after; the council does not maintain them and treats disputes about neighbours’ trees as civil matters.
The exception is the Significant Tree Register: trees valued for size, age, health or cultural and environmental importance are recorded there and protected under the Brimbank Local Laws, and interfering with one draws an infringement per tree.
The state canopy-tree clause applies in Brimbank’s residential zones, so check the distance to the boundaries before assuming no permit is needed.
Source: Brimbank City Council — trees on private property, 03 9249 4000. Read 13 September 2026; councils change their local laws, so Api checks the current rule when he quotes.
Across Victoria since 15 September 2025
Clause 52.37 Canopy Trees
A canopy tree is a tree more than 5 m tall, with a trunk circumference over 0.5 m at 1.4 m above the ground and a canopy at least 4 m across. In a residential zone a planning permit is needed to remove, destroy or lop one in a residential zone if the lot is vacant, or, where there is an existing house, if any part of the trunk is within 6 m of the narrowest street frontage or 4.5 m of the rear boundary.
Dead trees, emergency and safety works, maintenance pruning and listed weed species are exempt; councils usually condition a permit on planting a replacement canopy tree, and most decide these through VicSmart in about ten business days.
What this means for you: tell Api where the tree sits on the block and he will tell you whether a permit is needed before anything is cut — and where one is, we can prepare the arborist assessment the application needs.

Kings Park Tree Removal & Pruning — common questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Kings Park?
Only if the tree is on Brimbank’s Significant Tree Register, which the local laws protect, or if it is a canopy tree near the front or rear boundary under the state-wide clause. Ordinary garden trees on private land are the owner’s responsibility to manage. Across Victoria, Clause 52.37 Canopy Trees also applies since 15 September 2025: a planning permit is needed to remove, destroy or lop one in a residential zone if the lot is vacant, or, where there is an existing house, if any part of the trunk is within 6 m of the narrowest street frontage or 4.5 m of the rear boundary. Api checks both at the quote.
How much does tree removal cost in Kings Park?
Height, spread, what is underneath, chipper access and whether the stump is included — those five things set the price, and Api sets it in person, free. A Kings Park quote is a written figure, not an hourly rate that grows on the day.
How long does it take?
Most single trees are a morning; large ones a day. The quote gives you a start date and a finish time and we keep both.
Can you get in if the access is tight?
Yes — we do it every week in Kings Park. Rigging, hand-carrying and a compact chipper on the street cover almost every side path in the area.
What happens to the waste?
Chipped on the day and removed. If you would like the mulch or some firewood, say so when Api quotes and we will leave it stacked where you want it.
Can you save the tree instead of removing it?
Usually the answer is yes, and it is the first thing Api considers. Deadwooding, a reduction or a lift fixes most problems and costs less than removal. He will tell you if the tree is beyond that.
