The cost of tree surgery varies depending on the size and complexity of the job. Factors that can affect the cost include the height and location of the tree, the amount of pruning required, and any hazards or obstacles that may need to be navigated. However, the following are rough averages for tree removal per tree:
Height | Minimum cost (in total) | Average cost (in total) |
Up to 25ft | £70 | £200 |
26 - 50ft | £300 | £400 |
51ft+ | £750 | £900 |
Though formal education might be helpful, there are no prerequisites to becoming a tree surgeon. You'll need at least a National Certificate in Arboriculture if not more, to work as an official arborist.
Demand for arborists has increased by 224% in just five years, according to a recent assessment of the environmental labor market in the United Kingdom.
Certainly not in the summertime! Waiting until trees enter their dormant phase is preferable in many situations. The exact timing varies from tree to tree, but it typically begins in the late fall and continues through the winter and into the early spring.
