Factors That Influence Tree Removal Prices

Cultivating the perfect garden or surrounding area for your property can be a big task. Managing your garden is not just important for aesthetic reasons but is important when considering the risks of bushfires and damage if trees become unstable, as they may fall onto your building. If you are looking into removing trees for any of these or other reasons, read on to find out what factors might affect the price of this job.

1. Size

Both the width and height of the tree that you need to be removed can play a major role in how much it will cost you to get a tree removed. This is logical as the more wood that needs to be cut, the longer and more difficult the job is. For this reason, a tree that is shorter but with a larger diameter may cost you more than a narrower tree that is taller. 

If the tree is in a difficult-to-reach location, like in a back garden with no side path, then you can expect to pay more. This is because any equipment will be harder to move to the site and result in higher costs. If the tree is near a public path or road which needs to be protected, the tree may need to be taken down in parts which will increase the cost.

If there are any objects near the tree that need to be avoided during the removal of the tree, this will also increase the price. Objects such as fences, sheds or cables will need to be protected in order to avoid damage which will add to the labour costs. It means that the tree will need to be dismantled in smaller pieces which will make the job longer and therefore increase the price. Generally, it will be more expensive the closer these objects are to the tree. 

If the tree you need to be removed is damaged in any way, it may need extra consideration in order to safely remove it. This is also likely to increase the cost of the job. Rotting wood, storm damage or hazardous trees will incur extra costs for this reason.
