How It Works
Getting three quotes usually means three phone calls, three site visits, and a week of waiting. Here’s how we do it:
1. Tell us about the tree
Job type, size, access, and your suburb. Takes about a minute.
We match you with up to 3 local arborists
We pass your job to up to three local arborists. These professionals are fully qualified and rigorously vetted by our team to ensure the highest standard of service.
3. Compare and choose
Local arborists provide you with free estimates for the work you have requested, and you pick from these quotes. People who do this save around 28% on average compared to accepting the first price.

Fantastic service, reliable leads and great customer service.
Shane Everett5 November 2020
This is one of the better “3 quote” services I have used. I’ve used them before for plumbing and solar, which were ok, but these guys were outstanding. I highly recommend.
Kate Moussa3 May 2017
I went to the Go Tree Quotes website to get quotes to remove a large Sydney blue gum from my property. After submitting my details, I got a fast response from 3 local contractors. Their prices were reasonable and the company we chose were very professional and clean. I strongly recommend this service

FAQs
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree?
In most cases, yes. Councils generally require a permit for trees above a set trunk size, native species, or trees in a heritage zone. Common exemptions cover dead trees, those within 3 metres of a building, and listed pest species. Check your local council’s rules before starting. Removing a protected tree without approval can attract fines of up to $1.1 million.
How much does tree removal cost?
Tree removal in Australia ranges from $550 to $21,000. Most residential jobs land between $1,500 and $3,500. Use our tree removal calculator for a tailored estimate or see the full cost guide for a city-by-city breakdown.
What’s the difference between an arborist and a tree lopper?
An arborist holds a Certificate III or higher in Arboriculture and is trained in tree health, safe rigging, and proper pruning. A tree lopper may have none of that training. For anything taller than a single-storey house or near power lines, go with an arborist.
Do I need an arborist report?
Often, yes, particularly for larger trees or council applications. Arborist reports cover tree health, condition, and risk and typically cost $300 to $525 per tree.
Can I cut the neighbour's branches overhanging my yard?
Yes, you can prune branches on your side of the fence, as long as you stay within your council’s Tree Preservation Order. No approval is usually required if the branch is less than 100mm in diameter and within 2.5 metres of the ground.
Is the service really free?
Yes. Up to 3 quotes, no fee, no obligation. We get paid by the arborist who wins your job.

Not Sure About your Council?
Cutting down a tree on your own property sounds straightforward. It often isn’t. Most councils require a permit for anything above a certain trunk size, anything listed as significant or protected, and anything in a heritage zone. Get it wrong, and the fines are not small.
Our arborists are familiar with local council rules and can advise you on permits as part of your free quote, at no extra cost.
