The tree's size sets the floor. What surrounds it, and how material gets out, sets everything above that.
Tree work is quoted per job on size, the type of work, species, condition, access and waste. The same tree can be quoted very differently depending on what is beneath it and how the arisings leave the garden.
We do not publish a fixed price list for tree work, because the honest answer is that it varies far more than a list would suggest. What we can do is explain exactly what changes the number.
| Around the tree | Method |
|---|---|
| Open ground, room to fell | Straightforward felling |
| Near a fence or shed | Careful felling or partial dismantling |
| Over a conservatory or greenhouse | Full sectional dismantling with rigging |
| Over a neighbour's garden | Dismantling, plus arrangement with them |
| Near overhead cables | May need the network operator involved |
| Tight rear garden, no access | Dismantle; everything carried out |

This saves people money more reliably than anything else on this page. "The kitchen is dark" and "I cannot get under it" point to different, cheaper work than "I need it reduced". Tell us what is actually bothering you and we will tell you the smallest thing that fixes it.
This is general guidance rather than legal advice. Checking with the council is free, and cutting a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence.

It is quoted per job on size, the type of work, species, condition, access and waste. What surrounds the tree often matters as much as the tree itself.
Because it must be dismantled in sections and lowered on ropes rather than felled — slower, needing more people, and the largest cost difference in tree work.
Deadwooding and crown lifting are usually least expensive and often solve the actual problem. Crown reduction is work across the whole crown and costs considerably more.
The problem. It usually points to smaller, cheaper work than the operation people assume they need.
Possibly. Trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent and conservation areas require notice. Bristol City Council covers Brislington.
Usually quoted separately, because it needs different equipment and is not always wanted.
Yes, and it can reduce the cost. Logs and chip can both be left.
No. Quotations are free.
