    Jordan and the team did a great job removing an overgrown tree from my small courtyard. It was smooth, from an on-site quote to completing the job and cleaning up afterwards. The tree was close to the fence and structure, but there were no issues or damage. Jordan and the team were pleasant to deal with. I am happy with the results and will go back to him again in the future.

    Jordan and the team were great to work with. They really want the best for the trees and took so much care to make sure we could save as much of our trees as possible. They did a number of jobs for us - including an emergency call out when a tree fell over during a storm. Really easy to get a hold of, very well priced. We will be using the company for all our future tree care.

    Jordan and his team did a fantastic job last week - professional, polite, so efficient and so tidy - our garden and nature strip were spotless after they left. We have a gigantic oak tree in our back yard which we've failed to prune for a few years. Thank you Jordan, our tree looks magnificent again.

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 Proper Tree Care have a verified ABN?
Yes. Proper Tree Care has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
