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 specialized service, and while the calculator offers a general idea, there are a number of 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 get the best value for your tree care needs.

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

Input the height of the tree in meters. Simply measure from the base of the tree to the top. This will give us an idea of the size of the tree and how much work will be involved in removing it.

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

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

Is the tree in an easily accessible area? Or does it require navigating through obstacles or working in tight spaces? The accessibility of the tree’s location will determine 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 Stump Removal Cost Calculator provides a helpful estimate, understanding the factors behind the calculation can give you better insight into the pricing. Here’s a breakdown of how the costs are determined:

1. Base Cost
   The base cost is determined by the height of the tree. Larger trees require more work, so the cost will increase with the tree’s height. The base costs are as follows:
   • Trees up to 5 meters: £100
   • Trees up to 10 meters: £200
   • Trees up to 20 meters: £400
   • Trees over 20 meters: £800
2. Diameter Multiplier
   The tree’s diameter at breast height (DBH) is an important factor in determining the complexity of the removal. A larger diameter typically means more cutting and handling, requiring more time and equipment. Here are the multipliers:
   • Up to 30 cm: Multiplier = 1.1
   • 31 to 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.3
   • Over 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.5
3. Location Multiplier
   The tree’s location can greatly influence the cost. Trees in urban areas are often harder to access and might pose additional safety concerns, which can increase the cost. Here’s how it works:
   • Urban: Multiplier = 1.2
   • Suburban: Multiplier = 1.1
   • Rural: Multiplier = 1.0
4. Accessibility Multiplier
   Accessibility is key to determining the labor and equipment needed for removal. A tree that’s easy to access will cost less to remove compared to one located in a difficult-to-reach space. The multipliers are:
   • Easy: Multiplier = 1.0
   • Moderate: Multiplier = 1.2
   • Difficult: Multiplier = 1.5
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 will give you a rough idea of what to expect for your tree removal.
