Key considerations include:

• Safety requirements - Extra precautions, like cherry pickers, traffic management, or elevated platforms, may increase the price.
• External factors - Weather conditions, such as wind or extreme heat, and the time of year impact difficulty and cost. Autumn is typically cheaper due to lower demand.

• Additional expenses - Stump removal, green waste disposal, and council permits add to the total cost.
• Tree species, size, and condition - Certain species (like palms) are harder and riskier to remove, while larger or damaged trees often require specialised equipment.
• Site location - Accessibility, nearby powerlines, buildings, and terrain (slopes or uneven ground) can add complexity and cost.
