FACTORS IN TREE REMOVAL COSTS
The estimated cost of tree removal is dependent on multiple facts, which include considering the safety measures involved in tree extraction. Other factors which impact tree removal include:
Tree Species and Size
There is not a simple one size fits all approach to tree removal. This is why we pride ourselves on having a team of professionals that can understand the factors involved and execute a safe and effective tree removal. For example, our Gold Coast team can consider the tree species as a key influence in determining the price of removal. Our arborists know that certain trees elevate the level of difficulty to remove as this can impact the size and approach our arborists must take – which can increase costs.
The species will affect how difficult it is to cut, climb, woodchip and transport the tree. A common species that can cause difficulty in Gold Coast is palm tree removal, where it’s removal cost is related to the species deep rooted and spiky bark.
The Site
The site of the tree removal is a key factor the Gold Coast team will consider with our estimated costs. This relates to the location and terrain difficulty, this may contribute to how long it takes to complete local tree and stump removals.
Where the tree is located on the site is another consideration for our team, as the level of access to the tree can affect the ability to bring a truck and woodchipper near the site. This adds time into cutting, carrying and transportation of the green waste. Uneven terrain or sloped ground at the location of tree removal can be a challenge when transporting waste, which can reduce the accessibility of a site and require a crew to take more breaks.
Certain obstructions may impact the difficulty and duration of removal too, as the more open area there is around the tree, the more affordable tree removal is likely to be. Less obstructions around the tree allow for better access for the equipment and machinery.
Safety
Safety is always the number one priority for Jim’s Trees, which means it often influences how difficult and time consuming a job needs to be. Safety measures for dangerous jobs often require additional equipment, strategies and expenses which can increase the costs of services. These include:
- Extra safety lines
- Extra crew members
- Elevated work platforms
- Traffic management
- Cherry pickers
- Cranes
- Electricity shutdowns (can cost up to $5,000-$7,000)
Time of Year
The time of year will dictate the conditions for tree removal, alongside our busy period of tree servicing. Summer and spring are often very busy times for tree services, however during autumn you’ll find the chance to save on tree removals. Our experts report that it can cost as much as 25% more to remove a large tree full of leaves than one without leaves, due to the extra weight and difficulty of the foliage.
Tree Removal Permit
Across the Gold Coast area you may need a permit from your local council before we start tree removal due to local tree protections in place. We’ve outlined the key reasons why and how you’d need a permit to meet Golad Coast council guidelines. Contact Jim’s Trees or your council if you have questions, please consider these costs when budgeting for tree removal.
