    CBR Trees did a fantastic job for us yesterday! First, we engaged them to clear vegetation around power lines responding to an Evoenergy Network Protection Notice, and while Brent was visiting to quote on that job, he also provided a quote to remove a very large 14+ metre dead gumtree for a good price. It's rare to find a tradesman that are as easy to get on with as Brent is. His team were fantastic, very professional, did what they set out to do, and left the site tidy at the end. No judgment, no pressure, sound advice, good, prompt communication, and fair prices. Now that's all sorted that's one less headache to worry about. Don't hesitate, pick up the phone and give Brent a ring now for all your tree-related needs. You will have an excellent experience, just like we did.

    I hired CBR Trees to remove some trees from my yard, and was VERY impressed by their service. Brent Gillies has been an arborist for 20 years, and his professionalism shows. I was impressed by all aspect of Brent's service, all the way from his competitive quote, right through to the completion of the job. Brent and his team of two workers arrived at midday to fell six large trees in the front yard. I was very impressed by how skilfully and efficiently they dismantled the trees. All green waste was fed into a brand new, state-of-the-art woodchipper. I was interested to learn that Brent had recently purchased this machinery, and that today was the first day he was using this mulcher. To cap things off, I discussed a last-minute addition to the job that was not part of our original agreement. We have a large tree in our backyard that I recently noticed is growing close to the power lines. Brent agreed to tackle this project while he was on the site. He gave the tree a significant 'haircut', with the tree no no longer being a concern from an EVO Energy perspective. All of this was done with a friendly, upbeat style, and a 'can-do' attitude. I highly recommend CBR Trees to anyone needing tree-work done in their Canberra yard. In fact, our neighbours were so impressed by Brent's work that they were noting down his contact details for their own tree-trimming projects. A good decision!

    Brent had the best quote, and he and his crew arrived right on time to remove a tree that was pushing over our fence. He trimmed several large overhanging branches from our driveway from our ornamental pear tree, which has previously dropped limbs after heavy rain. They wasted no time and took and chipped all of the branches. They were meticulous when walking around my garden, taking care not to damage my solar path lights. I could not recommend them highly enough-- 6 STARS if I could. Friendly, courteous, professional, timely and value for money. Thankyou!

    CBR Trees removed a large tree for us and we are very impressed with the professsional service they provided. They were easy to deal with and took out the tree when we were away on holidays. They were considerate of both our and our neighbours properties and we have no hesitation in recommending Brent and his company. Our neighbours have also said they would use them for future work.

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.
Does CBR Trees have a verified ABN?
Yes. CBR Trees has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
