    Rory did a fantastic job & cannot recommend him enough. There once was a very large tree (near the letter box), taller than our house. Now you could never tell it was there. Thanks Rory!

    The team of four cut down five large acacia trees for me and chipped several hawthorn trees. They did excellent work, over 7 hours, and worked really well as a team. They did exactly what I asked of them and kept checking in with me. I invited them back for a prickly job of cutting down about a long row of entwined large hawthorns trees. Awesome job! Also very good business communication, very prompt. I highly recommend them. Thanks guys!

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.
