Priced by the job, not a flat rate
Tree felling in Dural is priced per job, because no two trees carry the same risks or workload. A small ornamental tree in an open backyard costs far less to remove than a tall eucalypt leaning over a roof, and a fair quote reflects that difference.
For that reason, Trees Down Under does not publish a single figure for tree removal. Any number quoted without seeing the tree is a guess, and guesses tend to change on the day.
What moves the price up or down
The main variables are tree height and trunk size, the species and how hard its timber is to cut, and how easy it is to get equipment to the base. Proximity to structures, fences, pools and powerlines also matters, since it changes the method and the crew needed. Many Dural blocks are large and semi-rural, with long driveways, sloping ground and mature trees close to dams or outbuildings, and these all shape the work.
Two trees that look the same from the street can need completely different methods. You only know the real job once someone has stood under it and looked up.
