What Affects Tree Removal Cost?
Tree Height
Taller trees require more equipment, time, and skill. Trees over 15m often need specialised rigging or crane access.
Trunk Diameter
Larger trunks take longer to cut and produce more waste material to remove. Over 100cm typically doubles the base cost.
Access Conditions
Trees near buildings, powerlines, or in tight spaces require careful dismantling techniques rather than straightforward felling.
Tree Species
Hardwoods like eucalyptus are denser and harder to cut. Palms are generally quicker and cheaper to remove.
Stump Removal
Grinding the stump below ground level adds $150-$500 depending on the stump size and root system.
Council Permits
If a tree preservation order applies, you may need a permit ($200-$500) and possibly an arborist report.
