Straight answers to the questions Melbourne homeowners ask us most about tree removal, arborist services and council permits.

📞 (03) 9525 7667Tree removal costs in Melbourne vary based on the tree's size, species, location, access and complexity. Small trees typically start from $400–$600. Medium trees range from $600–$1,500. Large or complex removals near structures can cost $1,500–$5,000+. The only accurate way to price your specific job is a free on-site assessment — which we provide with no obligation to proceed.
Whether you need a permit depends on your council area, the tree's size and species, and any heritage or vegetation overlays on your property. Most Melbourne councils protect significant trees over certain trunk circumference or canopy spread thresholds. Our arborists can assess your tree, identify your council requirements and advise on permit obligations before any work starts — at no extra charge.
