Tree surgery costs vary significantly depending on the size of the tree, access to the site, and how complex the job is. These figures give you a rough idea of what to expect.
The most important thing to understand about tree surgery pricing is that there's no fixed price list. Two trees of the same species can cost completely different amounts to work on, depending on their size, where they are, what's around them, and how much access we have. Anyone quoting you a firm price without visiting the site first should be treated with caution.
That said, it's useful to have a rough idea of typical costs before you call, so you know what to expect. The ranges below are based on typical jobs we carry out in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

|---|---|
| Small tree (up to 5m) | £180 - £350 |

What Affects the Price?
- Tree size - bigger trees take longer and require more equipment
- Access - if we can get machinery to the tree, costs are lower; difficult access increases time and cost
- Location - trees close to buildings, power lines or fences require more careful and time-consuming work
- Timber disposal - whether you want timber left or taken away affects price
- Time of year - some work is more straightforward outside of leaf season
- Number of trees - doing several trees in one visit is more efficient and can reduce costs per tree
How to Get an Accurate Quote
The only way to get an accurate price is to have someone visit and assess the tree. Our quotes are completely free and there's no obligation. We'll tell you exactly what the job involves, how long it will take and what it will cost - in writing - before any work starts.
Be wary of very cheap quotes from traders who haven't visited the site. Unqualified tree workers who charge very low prices often cut corners on safety, insurance and disposal. Always check that any tree surgeon you use is fully insured and holds current NPTC qualifications.
Cost Questions
Tree surgery is skilled, labour-intensive work that often requires specialist equipment. The cost depends on the size of the tree, how accessible it is, what's around it, and how long the job will take. Two similar-looking trees can cost very different amounts to work on depending on their position and the complexity of the work required.
Not necessarily the worst, but a very low quote should prompt questions. Ask whether the contractor is fully insured (public liability to at least £5m), whether they hold NPTC qualifications, and whether the quote includes waste removal. Uninsured tree workers expose you to significant financial risk if something goes wrong on your property.
No - all our quotes are completely free. We'll visit, assess the tree and give you a written price. There's no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed. We aim to visit within 2-3 working days of enquiry.
Yes - doing several trees in one visit is more efficient for us and we can reflect that in the pricing. If you have multiple trees or a combination of work (for example, tree removal plus stump grinding and hedge trimming), it's worth getting everything quoted together.
Standard home insurance policies don't generally cover routine tree surgery or removal. However, if a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property (house, fence, car etc.), you may be able to claim for the cost of making the site safe and clearing the fallen tree under your buildings or contents insurance. Check your policy or call your insurer.
