- ✓Sectional dismantling or felling by AQF-qualified crews
- ✓Full clean-up, green-waste removal and optional stump grinding
The number on the quote is the number you pay
Most of a removal is working out how to get the tree down without damaging anything. A cheap “lopper” quotes that off a photo. We assess it on site. We check the access, the risk and how close the tree is to your house, fence and power lines. Then we confirm whether your council needs an application, and only then do we put a number on it.
Where the quotes split
Two quotes for the same tree can be a thousand dollars apart. Usually it is the bits the cheap one leaves out: the arborist report, the council fee, the clean-up and the stump. We itemise all of it. That way a $2,690 quote and a $4,000 quote can finally be compared line for line, instead of guessed at.
What an itemised removal includes
- The on-site assessment, and any report or permit fee, each on its own line
- The removal itself, by AQF-qualified crews, roped and lowered where access needs it
- Traffic management and property protection where the site calls for it
- Full clean-up and green-waste removal, with stump grinding as a separate choice
Anything we find once work starts, like hidden rot or a new hazard, is quoted in writing before we proceed. Nothing moves the price without your say-so.
Quoted line by line, before we start.
The assessment, the work, the clean-up and the stump, each priced on its own line, so the number does not move.
- 1 On-site assessment. Access, risk and proximity to structures checked in person, with whether council approval is needed confirmed up front.
- 2 Arborist report or permit, if required. Where the council needs paperwork, the report and the council fee are priced as their own lines, never hidden.
- 3 The removal or pruning. The felling, sectional dismantle or pruning itself, by AQF-qualified crews, with rope and rigging where access needs it.
- 4 Traffic and property protection. Traffic management, lawn and roof protection where the site calls for it, scoped before the day, not discovered on it.
- 5 Clean-up and green waste. Branches chipped, timber and debris removed, the site raked and left tidy.
- 6 Stump grinding (optional). Ground below grade and the grindings cleared or backfilled, priced separately so you choose.
- 7 Public liability cover. Every job carried out under $20M public liability insurance, with the AQF level of the arborist on the quote.
