Before After 
Before After “How much does a tree surgeon cost?” is the question we get asked most. The honest answer is: it depends. A job that looks identical from the kerb can be quick or slow once you factor in access and what’s underneath.
What drives the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size | A 6-metre garden tree and a 20-metre mature beech are completely different jobs |
| Access | Tight rear-garden access is the single biggest cost multiplier |
| What’s underneath | Open lawn can be dropped quickly. Over a conservatory it must be rigged down piece by piece |
| Wood and brash | Chipping and taking everything away takes time and tipping fees |
| Protected status | A TPO or conservation area adds a council application and lead time - we handle this |
Guide prices
These are general UK guide figures, not a quote. Every job is priced on site:
| Job | Typical UK range |
|---|---|
| Stump grinding (per stump) | £60 - £250 |
| Hedge cutting / trimming | £150 - £500 |
| Crown reduction (medium tree) | £400 - £900 |
| Small tree removal | £150 - £400 |
| Medium tree removal | £400 - £900 |
| Large tree / sectional dismantle | £900 - £2,500+ |
| Arboricultural survey / report | £150 - £500 |
A two-person team with a chipper runs around £400-£700 a day in our area, but we price the job, not the day - so you get a fixed total rather than an open meter.

Why we quote on site
A blind phone quote is either padded to cover the worst case (so you overpay), or optimistic (so the price changes on the day). Neither is fair.
A ten-minute site visit fixes that. We see the access, the target, what’s underneath, and the planning status, and give you a written, fixed quote with no obligation. The visit is free anywhere across Leeds, Garforth and out to York.
