How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Perth? (2025 Guide)

Tree removal costs in Perth vary widely depending on tree size, location, and access. Here's a practical breakdown of what to expect in 2025.

Tree Removal Costs by Size

Small tree (under 5m): $300–$700
Medium tree (5–10m): $700–$1,500
Large tree (10–20m): $1,500–$3,000
Very large tree (20m+): $3,000–$6,000+
Stump grinding (add-on): $150–$500
Emergency/after-hours call-out: Add 50–100% premium

What Affects the Cost?

Access: A tree that can be felled in an open area costs far less than one requiring climbers to dismantle piece by piece. Proximity to structures: Trees near fences, power lines, or buildings require more careful work. Tree species: Dense hardwoods like marri and jarrah take longer to cut and chip. Debris disposal: Most quotes include chipping branches — ask if logs are included or extra.

Getting the Right Quote

Always get at least two quotes. Ensure the arborist carries public liability insurance (minimum $5 million) and holds a current WA Arborist qualification for larger work. Ask specifically what's included — some quotes exclude stump grinding, which adds $150–$400.
