If you’re looking into tree removal or tree cutting services by an arborist in the Northern Beaches, you’ve come to the right place!
Before you go and get professional help to remove a tree, you might be wondering what it’s going to cost you.
Tree removal in the Northern Beaches council can cost upward of $350 to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the amount of labour and time involved in the actual tree removal process.
Obviously the larger the tree, the more expensive the removal is going to be.
It’s important to note that in most cases you will need to submit a DA to the council for approval to remove a tree first before contacting an arborist in the Northern Beaches.
So what are some of the things that affect the cost of your tree removal in Northern Beaches council once your DA is officially approved?
Factors Affecting Tree Removal Northern Beaches Council
1. Location of and access to the tree
When considering removing a tree, an arborist in the Northern Beaches will take into account:
- any obstructions around the tree such as other foliage, power lines or neighbours homes
- the surrounding terrain and whether it’s level as it could make access difficult or unsafe
- access for machinery such as a wood chipper. This is especially important if there is no room for machinery and a lot of the work or movement of waste needs to be done manually. All these things add up and take time and effort
Northern Beaches Arborist can provide feedback on any of these factors when assessing tree cutting and tree removal in the Northern Beaches so you know before starting.
2. Size of the tree
The standard rule is, the larger the tree, the more work that will need to be done. Larger trees create greater levels of waste to dispose of and generally more machinery and equipment for the arborist in the Northern Beaches to actually do the tree removal work.
With larger trees, climbing is often also required meaning the tree needs to be structurally sound in order to complete the tree removal job.
3. Species of the tree
The species of the tree can directly impact the method of removal. Some tree species may have many more branches than others, different types of bark and the presence of thorns or spikes.
These factors plus others can affect the methods of tree cutting in the Northern Beaches.
Longer or more forceful cutting styles may be required for some larger tree species and the quantity of wood to be removed differs between species.
4. Condition of the tree
If the tree in question is diseased, the arborist may require large machinery such as a crane to assist with the tree removal in the Northern Beaches council which adds to the overall cost of tree removal.
Always remember when considering tree removal in the Northern Beaches council area, don’t just opt for the cheapest quote.
It’s important to always take into account the qualifications, experience and insurance of any arborist or tree lopper.
