                <h2 class="section-title">What Tree Removal Actually Costs in Brisbane</h2>
                <p>You'll find enormous variation in tree removal quotes in Brisbane anywhere from $150 to $5,000+ for what sounds like a similar tree. The variation is real, and it's worth understanding what drives it before you accept the cheapest quote.</p>
                <p>The main price drivers are: tree height, trunk diameter, access (can a truck get to within 20m?), distance from structures, species, and whether a council permit is required. Stump grinding is almost always quoted as a separate line item.</p>

  <span class="section-label">What Affects Price</span>
  <h2 class="section-title">Why Tree Removal Quotes Vary So Much</h2>
  
</div><div class="grid-3"><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">📏</div>
  <h3>Size and height</h3>
  <p>The single biggest driver. A 4m ornamental tree and a 15m eucalypt are completely different jobs. Height affects climbing time, equipment needs, and the number of crew required.</p>
  
</div><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">🚗</div>
  <h3>Access</h3>
  <p>If a truck can park within 20m and there's a wide side gate, the job is faster and cheaper. Tight access, multiple fences, or a long carry distance adds time and cost.</p>
  
</div><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">🏠</div>
  <h3>Proximity to structures</h3>
  <p>A tree in the open can be felled straight. A tree next to a house, pool, or fence requires slow sectional dismantling, more rigging, and more time on-site.</p>
  
</div><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">🌿</div>
  <h3>Species and wood density</h3>
  <p>A soft ornamental tree is faster to cut than dense hardwood like ironbark or brush box. Species also affects how the green waste is processed.</p>
  
</div><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">📋</div>
  <h3>Council permit</h3>
  <p>If a permit is required, add 5–25 business days for approval plus the cost of an arborist report ($250–$450) and application processing.</p>
  
</div><div class="card">
  <div class="card-icon">🔩</div>
  <h3>Stump grinding</h3>
  <p>Usually quoted separately. Add $80–$600 depending on stump diameter. Most customers include it — it's easier when the crew is already on site.</p>

  <h2 class="section-title">Common Pricing Questions</h2>
  
</div><div class="faq-section"><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>What is the cheapest tree removal in Brisbane?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Small trees under 5m with easy access and no permit requirements can be removed from $199. The lowest prices go to small ornamental trees with good truck access and no overhead hazards.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>Why do some arborists quote much cheaper than others?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Common reasons include: no insurance (your risk if something goes wrong), no qualifications (higher injury risk, more likelihood of property damage), cutting corners on cleanup, or quoting a different scope of work. Always ask to see the insurance certificate before accepting a quote.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>What makes tree removal more expensive?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Height and diameter are the main drivers. Access difficulty (narrow side gate, pool fence, no truck access) adds cost. Species matters — a bottlebrush comes out faster than a dense ironbark. Proximity to structures requires slower, more controlled sectional dismantling. Council permit requirements add time and cost.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>Does the price include stump removal?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Stump grinding is usually quoted separately unless you specifically ask for it to be included. We quote both clearly so you can decide.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>How do I get an accurate quote?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Text 2–3 photos of the tree to 0474 011 120 — one of the base, one showing full height, one of nearby structures. We can quote same-day for most jobs from photos.</p></div>
