    We had a New Year (gum) tree emergency, and got in touch with Ali via the website. He called and arrived the next day, and confirmed our fears. Our large gum had died, was splitting, and was probably one decent storm away from dropping on the back of the house. The Arborista team arrived on time the nextvday, were professional & courteous, and removed the tree. The stump grinder finished the job, and the area was cleaned up. We were so impressed with Arborista's service, reasonable quote (no hidden extras), and their willingness to respond quickly. Arborista is highly recommended if you have a tree emergency.

    I can't recommend Ali and his team highly enough. We had a 10 foot tree fall on the fence between us and our neighbour during recent heavy rainfall and while several other companies did not respond to my phone calls, Ali was at our house within 90 minutes, even though he was snowed under. His work was fabulous. His care and attention as he brought down large branches around our existing garden was fantastic. Not one of our plants were damaged. The clean up on our and our neighbour's side was immaculate. Ali and his team were super friendly and Ali's knowledge and experience was evident. Don't hesitate...Arborista are the way to go!

    We recently engaged Arborista Trees to undertake the main, annual, post-flowering pruning of our large, elevated wisteria and are very pleased with the outcome. Ali was punctual, open about his experience with wisterias and listened carefully to our explanation of what was involved. He provided evidence that he was properly insured and his quote, though perhaps on the high side, reflected his caution in undertaking new work. On the day he and his off-sider came on time, did an excellent job and took away all prunings and left the site very tidy. We would definitely employ Arborista again.

Ali did an amazing job grinding the large stump at short notice on a Sunday morning to meet our deadline and at a very discounted price, Thankyou! Ali’s communication was exemplary and I highly recommend his services!

Arborist costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do arborists typically charge?
Arborist costs vary widely depending on the type and scale of work. Factors such as tree size and species, site access, whether removal and stump grinding are needed, required equipment and disposal all affect the total. Most quotes separate a call-out component from labour and materials, and after-hours or emergency jobs generally attract higher rates. The live pricing on this page shows current estimates for different job types.
Do arborists charge call-out fees?
Many arborists charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, which is usually separate from labour and materials. That fee typically covers travel and the initial site inspection, and smaller or remote jobs may be subject to a minimum charge. It's worth confirming whether a call-out fee is included in any quote you receive.
When do arborists need a licence?
Arborists often need registration or specific contractor credentials for higher-risk, large-scale or regulated tree work. Where the scope overlaps with regulated building or contractor work, providers should hold a valid state contractor or builder credential and comply with local council permit requirements for protected trees. For higher‑risk tasks, look for evidence of public liability insurance, documented work-at-heights controls and SWMS.
