What is the typical cost for tree removal in Melbourne?

Cost depends on the tree's size, species, location, access and how complex the job is. As a rough guide: small trees typically run $300–$800, medium trees $800–$1,500, and large trees $1,500–$4,000+. We always provide a free, detailed quote after a site assessment before any work begins, with no hidden fees.

Do you provide a written quote before starting work?

Always. After assessing your tree and property, we provide a clear, itemised quote before any work starts — no surprises on the invoice.

Is AKR Tree Services licensed and insured?

Yes. AKR Tree Services is licensed with the Victorian Building Authority and carries comprehensive public liability insurance, so you can hire with confidence.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?

Often, yes — particularly for native species, significant trees, or trees over a certain size, depending on your local council. We can assess your tree, advise whether a permit is required, and guide you through the application process if it is.

What areas of Melbourne do you service?

We're based in Burnside and primarily service Melbourne's western suburbs — including Keilor, St Albans, Sunshine, Footscray, Williamstown, Altona, Caroline Springs, Taylors Lakes and Sydenham — plus selected eastern suburbs such as Toorak, Camberwell and Burwood. Generally, if you're within about 30km of Burnside, get in touch and we'll confirm availability.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency tree removal?

We offer 24/7 emergency response for dangerous trees and storm damage across Melbourne, and aim to be on site within 2-4 hours for situations that pose an immediate risk to people or property.
