The cost does not just depend on the size of the tree, access, time of year and which tree services you get prices off have a huge baring.

Follow a few simple steps below and you’ll be able to get the work done for far less.

Search criteria

What most people do is either an internet search, or look in the local paper for a local tree service.

They choose three random companies and call them up and invite them out to quote the job.

Once they have their quotes, they will choose the cheapest one and book the successful tree service in.

Problem: Companies at the top of search results are spending lots of money to be seen first. Because they spend so much marketing to be at the top of yellow page, Google, True Local and Yelp, they also need to charge more and pass those costs onto the customer.

Saving Trick #1: Go to pages 2 and 3 of Google results. These companies are just as good as the ones on page 1, but don’t spend so much on marketing. They will give a cheaper price.

How do I know the best company to remove my tree?

There are a few things you need to look for when selecting a tree service to remove your tree. Firstly when doing an internet search you need to have a look at their reviews. If they have too many 1 and 2 star reviews, you need to keep looking. Next you need to do a background check. Go to ABN lookup and type in their company name. Have a look to see how long they have been in business and whether they have changed their trading name recently.

Can I get my tree cut down for free?

In most cases no. If your tree came down in a storm, you may get your insurance company to foot the bill. If you are a tenant of a property you can ask your landlord if they would mind paying, but I’m sure it would depend on the circumstances. There are programs available such as small government grants for pensioners who need to remove a tree but do not have the funds. You will need to speak to your local council or state government pension office about the details.

Can I get a price over the phone?

Trees are very difficult to price from a picture or a description over the phone. The reason is the difficulty and time take to remove a tree can only be assessed when taking into account the access to the property, obstacles around the tree and the shape and size of the tree itself. All of which is difficult to describe over the phone. Tree services will need to book in a time to view the job to give you a firm quote.

Do I need a council permit to remove my tree in WA?

If your tree is protected due to its size or if you live in one of the state’s vegetation protection overlays then you will need to apply for a council permit to remove the tree. To know whether your tree is protected, please refer to your local councils Tree Preservation Order for more information.

What happens if council knocks back my application?

If the council feels you do not have sufficient grounds to remove the tree they may decide that it should stay. You can then get an arborist report from an independent arborist. If the arborist inspection finds the tree is dangerous, you can then resubmit your application for review. If the tree is protected and healthy, the likelihood of getting approval for removal is slim.

Can I ask council to cut back my tree?

If the tree is question is on council property, they will come out and prune any branches that are encroaching on your property. If the tree is on your property however, you will need to foot the bill. All trees on your property are the responsibility of the owner to maintain.

Do I need to be home when the work is done?

Most of the time, you will only need to give the tree company access to your yard to do the job. You will not need to be present while the tree is being removed. Arrangements can be made for payment after you have returned home and inspected the finished job.

Does the price include stump removal?

Stump removal is normally priced separately. If you have a quote for a tree to be removed, make sure they have specify whether that price includes the removal of the stump. If it does not, they may try to get away with charging you an extra fee for removal. This is a dirty trick, but can be easily avoided if you have it written on the quote exactly what is included in the price.
