Pricing guide
Costs are driven by the job’s complexity and risk profile — routine pruning is typically less involved than high‑risk responses or technical removals near utilities. Requiring extra crew, safety rigging, specialist plant hire or after‑hours attendance usually increases the overall scope and price.
Risk and rigging requirements
Work near structures or with falling‑branch risk often needs extra crew and slower, specialist dismantling procedures.
Need for specialist machinery
Jobs that require a crane, EWP or other hired plant usually include equipment hire and third‑party coordination, increasing scope and uncertainty.
Tree size, health and complexity
Larger trees, poor tree condition or complex limb arrangements typically take longer to dismantle or prune safely.
Site access and logistics
Restricted access, steep terrain or confined yards can slow work and may necessitate alternative removal methods or additional labour.
Waste handling and haul‑away
Whether crews chip-and-leave, chip-and-remove or haul logs away affects time on site and any third‑party disposal arrangements.
