Tree Service Types and Cost

Updated: 15 March 2022

Tree services vary depending on what you need to be done, but the top ones are:

• Tree removal
• Tree Trimming
• Stump removal
• Arborist report
• Tree Inspection

This involves the complete extraction of a tree from your property. Depending on the location on your property and the size of the tree the cost of tree removal services can vary from case to case.

In some instances it a crane may be required to get the tree on the ground safely.

This may or may not add to the cost of tree removal. It all comes does to how quickly the tree can be removed.

Tree pruning is the second most requested service we get here at GoTreeQuotes. There are many different types of tree pruning services including;

Crown thinning
Canopy Lift
Power-line clearance
Tree Topping/ Pollarding

You are bound to find a tonne of tree services in your city looking to provide the above. You won’t have to look far to find them, but you will need to select carefully to get the job done right.

This is generally a service that is included with complete tree removal, but in some cases, people opt to keep the stump as it is cheaper, but may later decide to remove it.

There are specialists who just do stump removal, but you will find most tree services in your area will have a stump grinder and would be more than happy to come out and remove your stump.

When looking to get DA approval on a tree for removal or maybe just from your backyard, in some cases your local council will ask for an arborist report.

This is because the council is having reservations on the reason for removal and want a second opinion from a qualified arborist.

This service is specialised and not all tree services offer it. This is really a job for a consulting arborist so be sure you are hiring the right specialist for the job.

A lot of the time it’s the lesser-known alternative sources that will land you the best deal on tree services in your local area. Other local directories like Homeimpricement2day.com.au or true local are a gold mine when looking for better-priced contractors.

The problem with just going for the first tree service you see in the yellow pages or on a google search is, they are paying a premium to be seen first, so you will end up having to pick up the tab for their marketing budget.
