Local Knowledge, Local Care
Frankston’s mix of beachside properties, established suburban gardens, and newer developments means every property is a little different. Coastal blocks near the foreshore often deal with salt-tolerant species and sandy, free-draining soil that can affect root anchorage, while inland suburbs like Frankston North and Karingal tend to have a broader mix of natives and ornamental trees. Whatever your situation, our team takes the time to understand your property before recommending the right approach, whether that’s a light prune, a full removal, or simply monitoring a tree’s condition over time.
We’re also familiar with Frankston City Council’s Tree Protection Local Law No. 22, which generally requires a permit for trees with a trunk circumference of 110 cm or more at the base, and we’re happy to advise if a permit is likely to be needed before any major work goes ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The cost depends on the tree's condition, size, and location, as well as how easy it is to access, particularly on sloped or coastal blocks. At NS Tree Removals, we provide a free, no-obligation quote after assessing your property, so you know exactly what to expect before any work starts.
It depends on the size of the tree. Under Frankston City Council's Tree Protection Local Law No. 22, a permit is generally required for trees with a trunk circumference of 110 cm or more measured at the base. Smaller trees, and certain weed species listed by council, are typically exempt. Our arborists can assess your tree and advise whether a permit is likely to be needed.
Lopping generally involves cutting back larger sections of a tree to reduce its overall size, while pruning in Frankston is a more targeted, ongoing approach focused on removing specific branches to improve health, shape, and safety. Our team can recommend the right option based on your tree's current condition and council rules around canopy reduction.
Do you offer stump grinding and tree stump removal in Frankston?
Yes, NS Tree Removals provides both. Stump grinding removes the stump below ground level so you can replant or lay turf straight away, while full stump removal takes the entire root system out, useful if you're planning major landscaping changes on your block.
Yes, our team provides a prompt emergency cutting service in Frankston for storm-damaged or fallen trees that pose a safety risk, including after the strong coastal winds the area can experience. Get in touch as soon as possible and we'll prioritise getting your property safe again.
Yes, all our work is carried out by qualified arborists, and we hold full insurance for both residential and commercial jobs. This gives you peace of mind that the work is done safely and to a professional standard, including any work requiring council sign-off.
Under Frankston's local law, you can generally prune up to one third of a tree's canopy without a permit, provided the trunk circumference and other exemption criteria are met. Beyond that, or for any removal of a tree at or above the 110 cm threshold, a Local Law Permit is required. Our arborists can confirm exactly what applies to your tree before any work begins.
Next step tree removals were fantastic. Removed trees from my pool area. The did an amazing job, left the site clean and tidy and were best priced by far and very professional at their job. I can’t ask for a better job, Im more than happy with their work and would use them again. I highly recommend them.

Needed a hand removing clumping bamboo from my back yard and trimming our ivy. Chris removed the bamboo and completed stump grinding at our property efficiently and left our yard neat and tidy. Good communication and by far the best price I was quoted for the job. Would highly recommend
