What Makes Tree Removal More Expensive?

Factors Influencing Tree Removal Cost in Canberra

First up, not all tree jobs are the same. A tiny tree in a wide-open yard? That’s usually pretty straightforward. A massive gum hanging over a shed with no truck access? That’s a different story.

Here’s what usually bumps the price up:

The size – Big trees take more time, gear, and people.
Access – If we can’t get near it with our equipment, we’ve gotta get creative.
Nearby structures – Fences, powerlines, houses… we have to work slower and safer.
Tree type – Some trees are just tougher to work with. Palms are messy, gums are heavy, and dead trees can be dangerous.
Is it still standing? – Emergency jobs or storm-damaged trees usually cost more.

Don’t Forget the Extras

Some costs aren’t always included unless you ask:

Stump grinding – Taking down the tree is one thing, but if you want the stump gone too, that’s a separate job.
Clean-up – Some companies charge extra to chip the branches and tidy up. We don’t leave a mess behind.
Permits – Canberra has rules around removing big or protected trees. We can help check if you need approval.

Can You Save Money?

Yep. Here are a few ways to avoid paying more than you need to:

Get more than one quote
Ask what’s included (stump? clean-up? traffic control?)
Use a local crew who knows the rules
Combine jobs if you’ve got more than one tree or hedge needing work

Also, watch out for cheap quotes from people who aren’t insured. If they damage your fence or worse, injure someone, that cheap price could cost you heaps more.

Brett and the guys removed 3 tree’s. All the proper precautions were taken, the tree’s were felled in a controlled way, restraints were used to ensure branches stayed in my yard when they fell. I was expecting it go smoothly because a site assessment was undertaken prior to the work being done. Very happy with the result. Mark

This is the second time we've had Brett and his team to our place for a job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Prompt with communication, efficient on site and they make sure they tidy up post-job.

Review of O’Briens Tree Services ACTI highly recommend O’Briens Tree Services as a highly professional and value- for-money tree removal company. They undertook the work for me in Canberra. They were extremely professional, efficient and prompt every step of the way- from first contact, inspection, quote, providing the target date and arriving on the nominated day. I had one extremely large tree approved to remove and several smaller ones. They were a hardworking team and worked safely and effectively to do all that work, as well as chipping, removal of debris and stump removal. I was amazed how much they could get done in a day and how well they did it. Not only that, but they were considerably less expensive than other quote(s). I highly recommend them to anyone needing trees removed.- Jane Morlin, resident of Canberra

O'Brien Tree Service did an incredible job cutting down a number of trees, handling stump grinding, and chipping the wood. They were quick, reliable, and provided excellent value for money. What really stood out was their attention to detail—they cleaned up everything afterward and even left the wood chips behind for me to use as mulch. No task was an issue for them, and their professionalism was top-notch. If you need tree services done right, I highly recommend O'Brien Tree Service!

Brett and team - I just want to pass on how pleased Rob and I were with the work yesterday when u removed the very large tree in our backyard in Curtin. The team were so professional courteous, safe and cleaned up afterwards. For what has been a roller coaster of an emotional time , as we did not want to lose the tree but could not risk our our safety , your team made the whole experience so much nicer. I would recommend you to anyone who asks us! Cheers..
