    Hive Tree Services truly stand out for their professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for their customers. From the very first phone call with the lovely ladies in the office, you’re met with warmth, politeness, and efficiency. Communication is always clear and courteous, which immediately puts you at ease. Their attention to detail (especially in their quotes) is outstanding. There is absolutely no ambiguity about what you are getting from their service. Everything is clearly outlined, transparent, and easy to understand, which reflects their honesty and integrity from the very beginning. Michael and Rohan are an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are knowledgeable, easy-going, and honest in their advice. They take the time to clearly explain what needs to be done and why, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way. A special mention must also go to the arborists who come out on site. They are professional, respectful, and highly skilled. They communicate clearly about the work being carried out and leave the space clean, tidy, and beautifully maintained once the job is complete. Hive Tree Services deliver exceptional value with integrity, clarity, and care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and courteous tree services.

    Hive did a fantastic job at my place in the Dandenong ranges. I have had some trouble with possums eating our eucalyptus trees. One tree didn't make it, so I hired Hive to try and save our other tree. They used a mix of possum guards and branch cutting of local trees to prevent the possums from being able to access the tree. I am happy to say, several months later, that the tree is now sprouting new shoots and the possums cannot access the tree. I am overjoyed at this result and so grateful to Hive for their hard work.

    I recently hired Hive Tree for some work in my yard. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. David was on time, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly during the on-site quote. On the day the work was done, James and Jessie showed up right on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was done safely. They cleaned up the site afterward. Communication with the office was easy and professional. I’d highly recommend Hive Tree Services for being reliable, affordable, and professional.

    The whole team was amazing! A very professional, friendly service: from our initial enquiry, throughout the booking and council process, and finally on the day the tree was removed. In addition, you arranged for the lumber to be milled with a reputable firm so that it didn't go to waste. Your team made a stressful, unwelcome situation very smooth from start to finish. Thank you!

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 Hive Tree Services have a verified ABN?
Yes. Hive Tree Services has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
