    Excellent ustomer service. Excellent communication. All staff from initial phone call, quoting and completing the job were professional, polite, friendly and had excellent communication. I was very impressed. I had a stump grinder in a small tricky spot and they got the job done better than expected. Highly recommend. Thank you.

    I contacted HR on Wednesday and by Friday morning the job was completed. The guys were fanastic, professional and I’d contact them every time going forward if I needed something done. They are super affordable and Carol responds very quickly to emails which is great.

    Hunter River Trees was impressive. They gave a detailed quote and carried out all work as described. Wayde was the supervisor of a 4 man team which was neat, tidy and professional in all aspects of their work. They blocked off a busy footpath. They checked to see the neighbours had been consulted. They left the garden and surrounds in good order. It is very easy to recommend such a professional business which delivers so well in all aspects of its work. Highly commended.

    HRT did a fantastic job of removing two trees at my property. The team was very well organised and professional. They were always polite and their clean up faultless.

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.
