If you’re in the market for a tree pruning service, you’re probably wondering how much it costs.
In this article, our experts will be discussing whether there is an average cost you can expect to pay when hiring a qualified tree pruning company, factors they consider when estimating your quote and where to go for professional advice you can trust.
What’s the Average Price of Tree Pruning in Brisbane?
Unfortunately, there’s not one specific price you can expect to pay for a tree pruning service to be completed professionally.
Depending on a number of different factors, the cost will vary from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand dollars.
Factors that Influence Tree Pruning Cost in Brisbane
There are several factors that influence tree pruning cost in Brisbane. In this section, we’ll discuss some of the most prevalent factors that go into determining the cost of pruning.
Species
The type of tree you have on your property will be one of the main things professionals need to take into consideration.
The number of branches, for instance, on a conifer differs significantly to that of gum trees and other larger species, all of which influences how long the job will take and therefore how much it will cost.
Number of Trees
It goes without saying that the number of trees in need of pruning will influence the cost. Understandably, if you only want to remove one tree it will probably cost you a lot less than if you were to remove several at once.
Tree Health
Sometimes you want to remove a tree because you’re making changes to the design of your yard; other times you need to do so because the tree is sick and it poses a danger to your landscape (including other flora).
As such, the condition of your tree will influence cost. This is because a sick tree – or one that has been poorly maintained – will often be more difficult to remove than one that has been well looked after.
Safety & Access
At Affordable Tree Service, one of our main priorities is the safety of both our team members and our clients. Therefore, one of our main considerations when evaluating a tree pruning job (and the associated costs) is the safety equipment required for such things.
This includes things such as:
– whether the tree is easy to get to
– whether additional safety measures have to be implemented
– whether we need additional equipment
Weather & Time of Year
The weather, of course, plays a large part in how efficiently and safely a job can be completed. As such, you may find it influences the cost. For example, if work is done on a bright, sunny day with no risk factors, you may pay less than if it’s done in hazardous or stormy conditions.
You may also find that the seasons and time of year will also influence your cost. For instance, work completed in winter may be more affordable than that completed in the height of summer.
Green Waste Removal
For many arborists, green waste and pruning is a factor that influences the cost customers like you can expect to pay, and an additional service. With Affordable Tree Service, however, it’s included in your tree pruning service so you won’t even know we were there.
Permits
Some trees – especially those on nature strips or that have been defined as an endangered species – cannot be removed without Council approval.
While our qualified professionals have the licensing associated with removing certain trees, it is something we do need to check with Council if there are specific restrictions and requirements we should adhere to.
Additional or Preparation Services
Sometimes, finishing a job professionally and to a high standard requires additional services like stump grinding, land clearing and arborist reports. This will, of course, increase the price you can expect to pay when arranging your professional tree pruning.
