What Affects the Cost of Tree Pruning?
Pruning is usually the most affordable way to deal with a tree that’s getting too big, too heavy, or too close to the house. Most of the time it’s the better option than taking the whole tree down. The price mostly comes down to how big the tree is and how much work it needs.
- The height and spread of the tree, and whether our crew needs to climb it
- What kind of pruning it is (deadwood removal, crown thinning, raising the canopy, clearance off the roof)
- How many trees we’re pruning on the same visit
- How much cleanup you want. Chipping and hauling the branches adds time
Fruit trees, hedges and smaller ornamentals are on the low end. Big conifers and mature Garry oaks take more time and a lot more care. You can read more about our tree pruning services.
What Affects the Cost of Tree Removal?
Removal is a last resort for us, but sometimes it’s the right call. A dead tree, a tree that’s failing, or one that’s just in the wrong spot. Removal prices have the biggest range because no two jobs are the same.
- Access limitations (not being able to get machinery into the back yard)
- Proximity to the house, fences, sheds and power lines
- Trees encroaching on neighbouring properties
- If a tree is dead, decaying or hazardous and has to be taken down in small pieces
- If we need to consult with the city or a permit is required
- Whether you want the wood left in rounds or everything hauled away
A lot of trees in Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay are protected by bylaw, and some need a permit before they can come down. Check our page on tree permits and bylaws, or just ask us and we can let you know. More details on our tree removal services.
What Affects the Cost of Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is priced mostly by the size of the stump. Measure across the widest part at ground level and put that number in the calculator.
- The width of the stump and how big the surface roots are
- Getting the grinder in. Narrow gates, stairs and slopes make it harder
- Rocks, fences, pipes or buried lines close to the stump
- Whether the grindings are left in the hole, raked out, or hauled away
- How many stumps we’re doing on the same visit
If we’re already removing the tree, grinding the stump on the same visit usually saves you money. See our stump removal services for more.
