Tree Removal Brisbane Services
Finding tree experts at a reasonable price for tree removal in Brisbane can be challenging. Landing yourself a good deal won’t happen unless you know the playing field a little. Prices for tree lopping in Brisbane’s Northside and Southside are about the same, but there are a number of factors that add to the cost that can be avoided. Let have a look at prices first, then how we can save you money on local arborists.
What we cover
How much does tree removal cost in Brisbane?
All Brisbane tree removals are different, so there is no real standard price for removal. It all comes down to the tree size and ease of removal.
The average price for professional Brisbane tree removal is $882. The range of a price though can be anywhere from $265 for small trees, up to $4,200 for large trees.
Some of the things that will determine the price will be;
- Tree size
- Trunk diameter
- Number of branches and spread
- Access to the tree
- Number of obstacles near and around the tree
You can’t do anything about the tree’s physical size, but you can save a considerable amount of money on the cost of tree removal, by granting better access to the tree lopping service.
A tree in the front yard of a home with good access can cost up to half the price as the same tree in the backyard with poor access. Time is money for Brisbane arborists, so if you can reduce the times it takes for the Brisbane tree lopping service to remove the tree, the more you will save.
Will I need a permit to remove a tree?Brisbane city council has a tree removal policy that must be adhered to. In some cases, it can be illegal to remove trees without a tree permit in Brisbane. You will need to check your local council’s tree lopping laws before tree removal or tree trimming begins. Most of the time it’s large trees that are protected.
Fines for illegal tree removal start at $10,000.
There are several councils in Brisbane QLD and each has its own Tree Preservation Order (TPO) which outlines the specific rules for tree lopping and tree pruning Brisbane.
To save time you can also just call your local Brisbane tree service, who will be knowledgeable on all the local laws and regulations.
Tree pruning in Brisbane will depend on the number of branches and the obstacles around them. The average cost is $423. For a small job like trimming a palm tree, you will pay as little as $75, but you might pay $1,200 for tree pruning of several branches of a large gum tree overhanging a roof.
Stump removal Brisbane
Stumps removal in Brisbane is fairly standard. The average cost last year as reported by customers was $225, but prices start at $60 and go right up to $750 for huge stumps. Stump grinding does vary depending on the size of the stump and its accessibility.
Palm tree removal Brisbane
Palm tree removal costs $240 on average for a standard 1 story Cocos palm. Small Alexander palms start at $150, and the price of a large Canary Island Date Palm can cost as much as $2,500.
Arborist reports Brisbane
The cost of Arborist reports in Brisbane generally cost $450 for a single tree removal. Some consulting arborist might charge a little more, but if you are paying anything over $550, I would look elsewhere. The cost of a report on multiple tree or sites seeking DA approval may cost more than the standard single tree removal price.
There are many great ways to save money on tree services in Brisbane. I am going to cover the top four below.

Is stump grinding included in tree removal prices?Tree stump is something that tree services Brisbane can also carry out. It is not automatically included in the price with tree lopping or tree trimming unless you ask for the stump to be removed as well.
Just say you are getting a large gum tree removed from your property in Brisbane. I would recommend you get the stump removed at the same time rather than saving it for later. It is only going to cost more when done separately due to the company needing to come back out a second time to do it. This will incur a second call-out fee.
Palm tree removal Brisbane is also quite common, and stump grinding is also recommended at the time of removal. There are many DIY videos claiming how easy stump removal is with chemicals or by hand. I can tell you this is mostly false and stump grinding or removal is a lot of work.
Don’t waste your time. Brisbane tree lopping isn’t so expensive you need to give yourself a chemical burn just to save a buck.
