Tips to Get the Best Value
A proper quote covers more than just dropping the tree. With Green Geeks the price reflects safe removal, full clean up and the removal of all green waste so your property is left tidy.
Because we carry 20 million dollars of public liability insurance and follow strict safety procedures, you are also protected against the risks that come with this kind of work. That peace of mind is part of the value.
"A cheap quote from someone uninsured can cost you a fortune if something goes wrong. Safety and a fair fixed price should always come together."
Small trees and shrubs under about 5 metres are usually quick and low risk. With easy access these are our most affordable removals, and we can often grind the stump in the same visit.
Large trees over 12 metres, especially near homes or powerlines, need climbing, rigging and sectional dismantling. This takes more time, more skill and more gear, which is reflected in the price.
Stump grinding, green waste removal and mulch are commonly added to a removal. Bundling them into the one job is usually cheaper than booking them separately later.
A small tree under about 5 metres generally costs from around 300 to 700 dollars depending on access and whether you want the stump ground. Michael confirms the exact price in person.
Large trees, difficult access, proximity to homes or powerlines and the need for climbing or aerial work all add time and risk, which increases the cost.
Stump grinding is usually quoted separately or added on. Let Michael know during the quote and it can be included in the one price.
No. Michael comes out personally to assess your tree and provides a free no obligation quote.
Often yes. Doing multiple trees in the one visit can reduce the cost per tree because the team and equipment are already on site.
Some protected trees require council approval, which can carry its own fee. We can help you understand whether a permit applies before you commit.
