    We had been dreading the removal of a very large, 60 year old, Manchurian pear. Under it we had a valued apple tree, a citrus tree, a big bed of raspberries, and zucchinis and pumpkins. We thought we might lose those. Access to the backyard and tree was narrow and limited. Our first quote was spine chilling as they said they have to bring a crane to the street and lift the tree, in sections, from the far back yard, over the house and over the front garden. It’s a twenty five metre high tree. This morning’s removal was so tidy, safe and competent. We were truly impressed by the routine and safety systems used. We lost no plants except half of a tree climbing pumpkin. I still don’t know how they got those branches to the front with the chopping equipment without more damage. Six men were courteous and so careful. It also cost half the first quote. It was almost a pleasure (we had loved that tree) to watch the team and the way they worked.

    I highly recommend Brett and the team from OBrien's Tree Services. They were asked to work on a 15 metres tall regulated tree in my backyard, clearing power lines as demanded by Evoenergy and trimming for tree health, in accordance with prevailing legislation. They did the job professionally, arriving punctually, working efficiently tackling the high and less accessible branches, clearing up thoroughly, and responding to questions asked - all at a most reasonable price. I'll be using them again for sure!

    I recently used O'Brien's Tree Services to prune a large tree in my front garden. They responded quickly to my request for a quote and gave very good advice about tree pruning in general and how they would go about the specific job. On the day, they were efficient and professional. Their arborists understand the complexities of tree pruning and care about their work. I would highly recommend them.

    On Tuesday 17th Feb, Brett and his A Team arrived to remove our 20 year old Silk Tree. I have never seen such an efficient and organised team before. It was like watching a choreographed dance. The boys left the area spotless. So impressive and professional. This is the team I would highly recommend to everyone.

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.
