Cost factors

What changes the price of tree surgery

Six things decide your estimate. We look at all of them on the free site visit.

The size and type of tree

A big tree takes more climbing time, more cuts and more waste. Some species, such as leylandii and willow, produce far more brash for their size.

How the tree has to come down

A tree with open ground around it can be felled in one drop. One over a conservatory, a pond or the neighbour's roof has to come down in sections on ropes, and a very tall or fragile one needs a cherry picker.

Access to the garden

A wide side gate means the chipper comes close. A terrace with no side access means everything is carried through the house, which takes longer.

How much waste there is

Every branch and log we take away goes through the chipper and leaves in our tipper. Keeping the logs for your fire takes some of that away.

The stump

Cut low is included. Ground out below the surface is extra work, and worth it if you want a lawn, a bed or a patio there.

Whether the tree is protected

Protected trees need consent first. That changes when the work happens, not what it costs to do.

How we work out your estimate

Martin or the team come and look at the tree with you. We check the size and condition of the tree, what sits under it, how we get the kit in and where the waste goes out, and whether the tree is protected.

Then you get one price for the job, including the clear-up. That is the price you pay: one of our Google reviewers wrote that the cost of the job was exactly what was quoted up front.

We do not publish a price list, because two trees of the same height in two different gardens are two different jobs. The estimate is free, so the only way to find out what yours costs is to ask.

  • Price agreed before any work starts

Ways to keep the cost down

Keep the logs. If you have a log burner, ask us to leave the logs cut and stacked, and there is less to take away.

Keep the wood chip. Chippings make a good mulch for beds and paths, and leaving some on site saves a trip.

Book with the neighbours. If the trees next door need work too, one visit for both gardens costs less than two. One of our reviewers found her neighbours booking jobs on the same day.

Book routine work ahead. Pruning and hedge work booked in advance fits round our diary; an emergency at night is a different job.

The real cost

Why the cheapest quote is the dearest

The door-knocker with a chainsaw and no insurance is cheap until a limb goes through the conservatory roof, or a protected tree comes down and the council fines the owner, or the brash turns up dumped in a lay-by with your address in it.

A1 Majestic Tree Care is fully insured and certified, checks every tree for protection before the work is booked, and takes every bit of waste away. That is in the price.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers before you book

How much does it cost to have a tree removed?
It depends on the size of the tree, how it has to come down, the access and the waste. We give you a free estimate on site, with the clear-up included.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Every estimate is free.
Is stump grinding included in tree removal?
The stump is cut low as standard. Grinding it out below ground is priced as part of the estimate if you want it.
Do emergency call-outs cost more?
An emergency at night or in a storm is a different job from booked work. You get the price when we arrive, before work starts, unless the tree has to be made safe immediately.
Will the price change once you start?
No. The price you agree is the price for the work you agreed.

Emailed Martin with a picture of the job for a high level estimate and he was extremely responsive as he replied within 2 hrs (a competitor who I had contacted took 2 days to respond so I did not even ask them to counter quote). On the basis his quote was reasonable I asked Martin to do the job. His 4 colleagues came over within 48 hrs and completed the job. All very polite, no nonsense, efficient and tidy. Very pleased with job and a great team to deal with. Certainly would use again as great customer experience and quality job! Thanks to a1 majestic
