Tip #1: Save up to 43% with company type selection

Depending on the size of your tree pruning in Duffys Forest, you might want to consider getting a lawn/ garden maintenance company instead of a qualified tree surgeon.

The reason is price! Lawn & garden companies are 50% cheaper.

A tree surgeon in Duffys Forest is going to charge you a lot more money as they have much larger overheads associated with their business such as insurance, equipment, larger staff, expensive workers compensation insurance etc.

If you are hiring to trim small trees, tidy up hedges or a fruit tree prune, getting a local Duffys Forest based lawn mowing & garden care company in is your best bet to save a stack of money.

Tree services don’t much like these small cutting jobs anyway as they are not worth their time.

Tip #2: Hire in the off season

All tree services in Duffys Forest are small businesses. As such they fluctuate their prices depending on workload.

If they are booked out for the next month, they will begin quoting higher prices to slow down demand until the catch up

The opposite is true when they have very little work on. In winter there is not a lot of work going around in Duffys Forest, yet there are the same amount of tree services looking for work.

Simple supply and demand has tree services handing out cheaper prices in winter months to win work.

If it can wait until autumn/ winter, you can save a further 20% off the price of tree cutting or tree removal in Duffys Forest.
