The price range for tree removal is $150 $4500. The average range is more like $650 $2200 with the national average for tree removal costing $788. We have thrown around a lot of prices, but there are so many factors that make up the cost of tree removal that go beyond just the raw size of the tree.

We have put togetherthis very accurate guide, so you can determine how much it will cost to remove a tree. We look at standard trees and trunk diameter, plus the different factors that will add to the cost of tree removal such as dead trees, dangerous trees and ones with difficult access.

Some other factors that will add to the cost of tree removal:

Call out chargeMost tree services dont have a call out fee. That being said, the price of a prune job by a professional arborist usually starts at $150

Bear in mind prices do vary depending on where in the city you are located. Contractors tend to charge more for inner city jobs as they are more difficult to get to and are normally in confined spaces.

SMALL TREE REMOVAL ANCHOR

Small tree removal 1 1.5 stories high.

Something like a Bottle Brush or a Lilly Pilly trees normally dont grow any bigger than a single story house, so it will cost you $150 $850. Add another $100 if you want the stump removed.

MEDIUM TREE TREMOVAL ANCHOR

Medium tree removal 1.5 3 stories high.

These would include Silky oak, Casuarina, Liquidambars and trees of similar maximum height. These are generally priced $650 $1500. Again there are a few factors to consider, but as a rough guide thats what you would expect tospend.

LARGE TREE TREMOVAL ANCHOR

Large tree removal 3 Stories + high

Lets break it down by height and spread.1 x Skinny gum tree, little foliage and 3 stores high would cost about $1000. A more mature specimen of the same height, but bigger trunk and spread would cost closer to $2500.

With larger tree lopping, it will all come down to the size spread, access and complexity of removing it. See below for more information.

EXTRA LARGE TREE TREMOVAL ANCHOR

If you are unlucky enough to be removing a very large tree, be prepared to pay a hefty price. The biggest tree I have removed was a 50m Eucalypt that cost the owner $7000. It had a trunk diameter of 3 meters at chest height. These trees dont come about often, but I would get as many quotes as you can from the best operators in town.
