    Highly recommend using these guys. I had a large gum tree in a difficult area and right next to buildings. They were the only company of my 3 quotes who were able to grind the stump. Even with this extra work, they were cheaper than the other quotes. Truck and chipper that fit on my driveway, no fuss. Made the job look easy and were so quick, left the area tidy.

    We have 2 large trees in our backyard, which are absolutely beautiful but shade the whole yard. Johnny came out for a site visit and really took the time to go through our options, you can tell he is very passionate about preservation and ensuring trees look natural once trimmed. I was confident that he would look after the trees while ensuring they suited our needs as well. He and his team did not disappoint - they were on time, professional and while we can tell they have been trimmed (as there is so much more light in the yard now), they don’t look disfigured at all. I would highly recommend.

    John and his team were fantastic! From a prompt quote to scheduling the work and showing up when they said they would, they were reliable, efficient, and highly professional. John and his team were helpful in their suggestions on pruning and which trees were best to leave and which ones would cause future problems. Our backyard looks fantastic, all the branches were cleaned away without any trouble and we will absolutely use their services again in the future. We would recommend this business to anyone.

    Johnny and his crew removed 12 very tall palm trees and 2 quite large trees at our place as we were wanting to clean our yard up. Johnny attended to site when he said he would, provided a competitive quote and returned to get the job done. We couldn't be happier with the service they provide. All his workers know exactly what their role is, they hook in and get it done. Very professional service. We Highly Recommend!

    Johnny came out to assess the health of 3 large gum trees in our suburban backyard. He explained thoroughly the characteristics of the species and advised me on how to keep them strong and us safe. He had an obvious love of trees and an extensive knowledge of the local flora. The business was professional, friendly and on time for the consultation. If one of our damaged trees does not recover, I will have no hesitation to use the services of this business to remove it.

    Top notch work as usual. We have used Cutting Edge previously and the quality of work, professionalism and communication from Johnny and the team was excellent as always. The team went above and beyond, reusing and positioning some of the leftover logs to assist with soil retention and garden beds. Efficient, high quality work and competitive pricing. Highly recommended.

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.
