Up to three businesses can purchase access to your request. Responses depend on local availability; three quotes are not guaranteed.
How much does tree removal cost in Melbourne?
A small tree with clear access can cost hundreds of dollars to remove. Large or complex removals can cost several thousand dollars or more. Use published price bands for initial budgeting, then request a quote for your actual tree and site.
| Approximate tree height | Indicative removal range |
|---|---|
| Up to 6 metres | $250–$950 |
| 6–10 metres | $650–$1,500 |
| 10–20 metres | $1,500–$3,500+ |
| Over 20 metres or complex removal | $3,500–$10,000+ |

Height alone does not determine cost. Confirm GST, stump grinding, disposal and other inclusions in your written quote.
Why two trees of the same height can cost different amounts
What is around the tree
Show nearby roofs, fences, sheds and other obstacles. Mention overhead wires so the business can assess the work and whether specialist arrangements are needed.
The work you want included
Removal to a low stump is different from removal plus stump grinding. Specify whether logs and chips should stay or be taken away.
Condition and equipment
Tree condition, branch structure and the proposed method affect time and equipment. A site inspection may be needed before the business can confirm a price.
What should a tree removal quote include?
- Which tree or trees will be removed.
- Whether stump grinding is included, and the agreed depth.
- What happens to logs, branches, chips and stump grindings.
- Access arrangements and protection of nearby structures.
- Total price, GST where applicable, exclusions and timing.
Ask about relevant qualifications and current insurance. Check permissions with your council before work starts; requesting a quote does not authorise tree removal.

Questions before requesting removal quotes
Is stump grinding included in tree removal?
Only if the quote says so. Request it explicitly, including whether grindings should be taken away and what you intend to do with the area.
Do I need photos to request a quote?
Photos are optional. Views of the whole tree, its base, nearby structures and the access route can help. Take them from a safe position.
Can I keep the wood or mulch?
Yes, you can ask the business to quote with material retained. Agree the amount, placement and log sizes in advance. Any price difference depends on the job.
