<p class="blog-intro" style="font-size:1.08rem;font-weight:500;color:var(--dark);margin-bottom:32px;line-height:1.7;">A complete breakdown of what Brisbane arborists actually charge — by tree size, access, species, and everything else that moves the price.</p>
<h2 style="margin-top:36px;margin-bottom:14px;">The short answer</h2><p>Small trees (under 5m): $199–$450. Medium trees (5–10m): $450–$900. Large trees (10–15m): $900–$1,800. Very large trees (15m+): $1,800–$3,500+. These are the ranges a legitimate, insured Brisbane arborist will quote. If you're seeing quotes well below these, ask to see the insurance certificate.</p>
<h2 style="margin-top:36px;margin-bottom:14px;">What drives the price up</h2>
<ul class="check-list "><li>Tree height — the single biggest factor</li><li>Tight access — narrow side gate, no truck parking nearby</li><li>Proximity to structures — sectional dismantling takes longer</li><li>Wood density — ironbark takes longer to chip than jacaranda</li><li>Council permit — add $250–$450 for the report plus application time</li></ul>
<h2 style="margin-top:36px;margin-bottom:14px;">Stump grinding — budget separately</h2><p>Stump grinding is almost always quoted separately. Add $80–$600 depending on stump diameter. Most homeowners do it at the same time as removal — setup costs are shared and the ground is already disturbed.</p><h2 style="margin-top:36px;margin-bottom:14px;">How to get an accurate quote</h2><p>Text 2–3 photos to 0474 011 120 — one of the base, one showing full height, one of any nearby structures. We quote same-day for most jobs. The price in the quote is the price you pay.</p>
