A tree in the middle of a lawn and the same tree eighteen inches from a conservatory are two different jobs.
Tree work is quoted per job on size, species, condition, access, what is around the tree, and how much waste comes out. Proximity to buildings and boundaries changes the method entirely, and the method is what you are paying for.
We do not publish a fixed price list for tree work, because the honest answer is that it varies far more than a list would suggest.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.
| Situation | 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, and arrangement with them |
| Near overhead cables | May need the network operator involved |
| Tight rear garden, no access | Dismantle, everything carried out |

This is general guidance rather than legal advice, and the council is the authority on what applies to your particular tree. Checking costs nothing; cutting a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence.

It is quoted per job on size, species, condition, access, what surrounds the tree and how much waste comes out. Proximity to buildings has the largest effect on method.
Because it has to be dismantled in sections and lowered on ropes rather than felled. That is slower, needs more people, and is the single largest cost difference in tree work.
Usually quoted separately, because it needs different equipment and is not always wanted.
Possibly. Trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent, and conservation areas require notice. South Gloucestershire Council covers Hanham.
Yes, and it can reduce the cost. Logs and chip can both be left.
Work near overhead cables may need the network operator involved. Tell us at quotation so it can be arranged rather than discovered.
Not if it is cheap because of missing insurance, unqualified climbers or no assessment. Ask to see insurance covering tree work at height.
No. Quotations are free.
