Tree Removal Cost Calculator

If you’re considering tree removal for the first time, you might be wondering how much the project will cost. Our tree removal cost calculator is a great starting point to give you an estimate and help you plan ahead.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that every tree removal job is unique. Tree surgery is a specialised service, and while the calculator offers a general idea, there are several factors that can influence the final price — such as the tree’s size, location, accessibility, and the specific work needed.

Rest assured, our team is here to provide expert advice and guidance every step of the way. We are committed to offering fair and transparent pricing, ensuring you receive the best value for your tree care needs.

Our Tree Removal Cost Calculator is a quick and easy tool to help you estimate the cost of your tree removal project. Here’s how to use it:

Input the height of the tree in metres. Simply measure from the base to the top. This gives us an idea of the size of the tree and the amount of work involved in removing it.

Measure the tree’s diameter at breast height (DBH), which is about 1.3 metres from the ground. Use a measuring tape or calipers across the tree trunk. A larger diameter often means more equipment and time are required.

Choose the tree’s location: Urban, Suburban, or Rural. The environment impacts accessibility, and in urban areas, there may be additional challenges that affect the cost.

Is the tree easily accessible? Or does it require navigating obstacles or working in tight spaces? Accessibility affects how difficult the job is and how much extra time and effort will be required.

After entering all the information, simply click the “Calculate” button to get your estimate. The tool will provide a rough idea of the removal cost based on the factors you’ve entered.

While our Tree Removal Cost Calculator provides a helpful estimate, understanding the factors behind the calculation can offer better insight into the pricing. Here’s a breakdown of how the costs are determined:

Base Cost: The base cost is determined by the height of the tree. Larger trees require more work, so the cost increases with the height.

• Trees up to 5 metres: £100

• Trees up to 10 metres: £200

• Trees up to 20 metres: £400

• Trees over 20 metres: £800

Diameter Multiplier: The tree’s diameter at breast height (DBH) affects the complexity of the removal. A larger diameter typically requires more cutting and handling, needing more time and equipment.

• Up to 30 cm: Multiplier = 1.1

• 31 to 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.3

• Over 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.5

Location Multiplier: The location of the tree can significantly impact the cost. Trees in urban areas are often harder to access and may require extra safety measures.

• Urban: Multiplier = 1.2

• Suburban: Multiplier = 1.1

• Rural: Multiplier = 1.0

Accessibility Multiplier: Accessibility determines how straightforward the removal process will be. The easier the access, the lower the cost.

• Easy: Multiplier = 1.0

• Moderate: Multiplier = 1.2

• Difficult: Multiplier = 1.5

The Final Calculation: Once you’ve entered all the details, the calculator multiplies the base cost by the diameter, location, and accessibility multipliers to estimate the total removal cost. This gives you a rough idea of what to expect for your tree removal project.
