How Much Does a Consulting Arborist Cost in Dural?

A consulting arborist report in Dural is priced per job, not from a fixed list. Trees Down Under does not publish set dollar figures because the fee depends on the trees, the site and the purpose of the report. An itemised quote follows a free tree inspection, so the price you approve matches the work you need.

Tree Size, Number and Species

One mature gum takes less time to assess and document than a stand of wattles or a mix of ornamental trees across several garden beds. Larger trees, and more of them, mean more inspection and reporting time.

Site Access and Complexity

Dural has both suburban blocks and larger acreage properties. Trees on acreage can sit well away from the driveway, while trees close to buildings, powerlines or boundaries need more careful assessment.

Why You Need the Report

The purpose shapes the scope. Common reasons include:

• Council compliance before pruning or removing a tree
• Storm damage checks
• Disease or hazard assessments

Council requirements also vary between Hornsby Shire and The Hills Shire, which can change what the report must cover.

Every job gets the same care, so we look at the tree, the site and the council rules before we put a price on anything.

Joseph Khoury, Director & Founder, Trees Down Under

Your Dural trees are assessed by licensed, insured arborists holding AQF Level 3-5 qualifications. The team has worked across the Hills District since 2005, so they know how gums, wattles and ornamental trees behave on both suburban blocks and larger acreage properties.

The same crew can take the job from report to finished site, including pruning, removal, stump grinding and green waste removal, with full site clean-up included rather than added on later.

Where a council permit is needed, the team handles the paperwork and prepares the certified arborist report. Non-urgent work is booked during service hours, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 5pm, and quotes are itemised and explained before any work starts, so you can see what is covered and why.
