How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Sydney?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to tree removal costs in Sydney. If you see a tree removal price guide, it is most likely inaccurate and out-of-date. Asking for a tree removal price guide is like asking for a ‘car price guide’ – well, what brand of car? Toyota or Lexus? Is it an SUV or ute or van? The variety of variables make it impossible to definitely say how much tree removal costs – because all trees, properties and conditions are different. While some tree removal companies offer a tree removal cost calculator or flat rates, these often overlook the biggest factors that influence pricing, like the tree size, location, accessibility, and condition. Our team provides on-site, personalised assessments to give you an accurate estimate, not just a rough estimate based on average costs.
From small trees in backyards to large tree removal near buildings or power lines, every tree removal job comes with unique requirements. That’s why we focus our tree removal process on delivering great value, tailored quotes, and professional service every time.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Tree Removal
1
Size
Larger trees are more time consuming and labour-intensive to remove, often requiring extra crew members, special equipment, or extra safety lines, all of which increase the overall cost.
2
Type
Tree species, such as the fibrous palm tree or a decaying dead tree, can affect removal methods and pricing. Some trees may be protected under council regulations as protected tree species, which adds complexity.
3
Access
If your tree is located behind buildings, near power lines, on steep land, or far from road access, we may need cranes, cherry pickers, or other safety equipment to remove safely.
4
Condition
A dying tree or one that is diseased poses a higher safety risk, which may require a professional arborist, rigging systems, or crane access. These all impact cost.
5
Waste
Green waste removal and clean-up, including wood chips and other tree waste, is often a separate charge. You may reduce the cost by choosing to keep the debris on-site or using it as mulch.
6
Time
Tree removals performed outside standard hours, such as urgent jobs or those requiring traffic management, will usually attract higher fees due to staff availability and planning.
Tree Stump Removal Cost – What You Need to Know
Removing the stump along with the tree is highly recommended. Leaving it can lead to regrowth, pest issues, or obstruct your newly landscaped space. Plus, it simply looks better. Whether you want the stump removed entirely or just stump grinding, costs will vary depending on the size and root structure. Be sure to ask for stump grinding as part of your tree removal quote to keep your tree removal project streamlined.
Why Choose Arbor Pride?
Choosing Arbor Pride means choosing a professional tree removal service that puts your needs first. We don’t use automated cost calculators because they are unreliable and inaccurate. Instead, you’ll get a detailed quote from an experienced tree arborist who listens to your concerns, understands your site, and local council regulations. This consultative, hands-on approach ensures you get a transparent quote with real peace of mind. The last thing you want is to try and estimate the job yourself online and be underquoted, only for an arborist to rock up and charge extra for work that wasn’t identified properly in the first place! This is the scenario we want to avoid. We’re 100% upfront about costs before the go-ahead, so you can feel confident.
With decades of experience, our team uses sustainable tree care methods and the best equipment to complete even the most complex tree removal jobs.

TESTIMONIALS
Read Our Reviews
They stood out at the quoting stage when I was given definite answers on trees at my place regarding species and regulations on cutting and pruning. Furthermore, the price is very competitive and they are very communicative before, during and after the tree job. I have witnessed how workers used their expertise to cut and prune trees with carefulness and efficiency. They have done a fantastic job and we are satisfied with our brighter and neater front and back yard.
As always, Arbor Pride went above and beyond on the day and gave great advice in sculpting our trees. We really appreciate their knowledge, which makes a BIG difference down the track in how the trees grow in future. We always recommend this tree company.
Stefan and his team did a brilliant job pruning back some large trees that were causing our neighbour difficulties. Their work is so elegant that the trees still have perfect form and you can’t tell where they’ve been pruned. All the team were polite and thoughtful while they worked, and left our garden neat and tidy. Arbor Pride also provided some handy notes, with details of the upcoming job, which we could print out and give to our neighbours.
Additional Services and Pricing
Tree removal isn’t always the only—or best—solution. At Arbor Pride, we provide a complete range of tree care services to maintain the health, safety, and appearance of your trees and landscape.
Tree Pruning
Pruning supports healthy tree structure and reduces the risk of falling branches. Our expert arborists offer safe and precise pruning that enhances tree health while preserving the natural beauty of your garden.
Hedge Trimming
Keep your hedges neat and functional with seasonal or year-round trimming. Whether it’s a privacy hedge or a decorative screen, we help you maintain a polished look with minimal hassle and utmost care for your property.
Stump Grinding
Get the stump removed efficiently with our professional grinding service. Grinding is faster and more affordable than full extraction, especially when bundled with tree removal. This service is particularly helpful when preparing for new landscaping or construction.
FAQs
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
Winter is typically the cheapest time of year for tree removal, as demand for professional tree removal services drops. Booking in the off-season can reduce the overall cost of your project.
Is it cheaper to trim a tree or cut it down?
Tree pruning and crown reduction is usually cheaper than full tree removal, but it can compromise tree health and may lead to future issues. Complete removal is often more cost-effective in the long term.
Do you need council approval to cut down a tree in NSW?
Yes, you may need approval to remove a protected tree species in NSW. Check your local council’s rules and request an arborist report if required.
Is it cheaper to grind or remove a stump?
Stump grinding is usually the more affordable option compared to full removal. It’s faster, requires less labour, and doesn’t disturb the surrounding area.
Is tree removal covered by insurance in Sydney?
Tree removal may be covered by home insurance if the tree is damaged, diseased, or poses an immediate risk, especially after storms. Check with your insurer before proceeding.
Can I get a fixed price for tree removal?
Fixed prices are rare because each tree removal job is unique. On-site assessments are the best way to get an accurate, fair quote tailored to your property and tree.
