How Much Does It Cost To Remove Trees: Factors & Considerations

Tree removal requires extensive expertise, and it can be a costly service. If you're thinking about removing a tree on your property, the price will likely be a concern. We've outlined some of the common things to take into account when you're considering the cost of a tree removal service.

It's probably no surprise that taller and larger trees will cost more to remove, as they require more time, labour and skill. The same goes for the number of trees being removed - if you're just having a single tree removed, you'll pay less than you would if you require multiple removals. 

You can estimate the weight of a tree based on its size or particular species. As not all companies charge per truckload of materials, this is an important consideration when you're thinking about price.

The particular type of tree being removed might have bearing on the final price. Some trees, like gum trees, have more leaves and branches. Some have wider branches that might need to be trimmed before they can be removed safely, or might require an arborist to climb and prepare the branch before it can be cut down. These particular factors will impact the final price you'll pay for removal.

Tree removal services will take into account the distance your tree sits from obstacles and hazards, such as utility lines and roads. They'll also factor in the ease of access for equipment and materials, and if there's any slope or difficult terrain they need to navigate. These considerations will likely affect the final cost of removal.

Some tree removals require clearance and approval from your local council, who may enlist their own arborist to remove your tree. This is particularly true if you have a very large tree needing to be removed, and especially if there's a perceivable risk to property or common utilities.
