Large tree removal is the most variable pricing category. Here's what drives the cost and what to expect.
What counts as a large tree
For pricing purposes: trees over 10m in height with a significant canopy spread. In Brisbane, this includes mature eucalypts, large camphor laurels, fig trees, brush box, tallowwood, and large ornamentals like poinciana.
Price ranges
| Tree height | Access | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| 10β15m | Good (truck access, open yard) | $900 β $1,500 |
| 10β15m | Tight (narrow gate, structures) | $1,200 β $1,800 |
| 15β20m | Good access | $1,500 β $2,500 |
| 15β20m | Tight access | $2,000 β $3,500 |
| 20m+ | Any | $3,000 β $6,000+ |
What pushes large tree costs higher
Council permit (add $250β$450 for the report plus 5β25 business days wait time). Multiple adjacent structures requiring careful rigging. Very dense wood that slows chipping. Remote access requiring helicopter or elevated work platform. Multiple large trees in the same job.
