In a smaller garden the tree is rarely the difficulty. Getting equipment to it, and the material away from it, usually is.
Tree work is quoted per job on size, the type of work, species, condition, access and waste. In a compact garden, access and what surrounds the tree often matter more than the tree's own size.
We do not publish a fixed price list for tree work, because the honest answer is that it varies far more than a list would suggest.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.
| Access | Effect |
|---|---|
| Front garden, vehicle alongside | Fastest and cheapest |
| Rear garden, wide side gate | Straightforward |
| Rear garden, narrow side gate | Everything hand-carried |
| Through the house | Slowest; protection needed too |
| Rear lane available | Helps considerably |
| Restricted or permit parking | Adds time and planning |

Less room to drop and stack material, nowhere for a chipper, and everything hand-carried through a side gate or the house. Handling becomes the job.
Deadwooding and crown lifting are usually the least expensive and often solve the actual problem. Crown reduction is work across the whole crown and costs considerably more.

Possibly. Trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent and conservation areas require notice. Bristol City Council covers Hengrove.
Usually quoted separately, because it needs different equipment and is not always wanted.
