At Wigan Tree Removal, we’re committed to making tree removal in Wigan affordable, safe, and straightforward. We understand that dealing with a problematic tree can be stressful, whether it’s a small sapling blocking your garden or a massive oak threatening your home. That’s why we offer clear, competitive pricing tailored to the size and complexity of each job. Our prices are designed to fit a range of budgets while ensuring top-quality service, safety, and a clean yard when we’re done. Below, we’ll walk you through our pricing structure for tree removal, explaining how costs are determined and what you can expect when you choose us for your tree removal needs in Wigan.
Our pricing for tree removal is primarily based on the height of the tree, as this is a key factor in the time, effort, and equipment needed. For trees up to 5 meters tall, our prices range from £75 to £200. These are typically smaller trees, such as young fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, or small birches. Removing a small tree is often simpler, especially if it’s in an open area like a front lawn with no obstacles. For example, a 3-meter apple tree in a clear yard might cost closer to £75, as we can likely use straight felling—cutting the tree at the base and letting it fall in one go. However, if the same tree is near a fence, patio, or power line, we may need to use section felling, where we cut it down in smaller pieces and lower them with ropes. This extra care can push the cost toward £200, but it ensures no damage to your property.
For trees between 5 and 10 meters tall, our prices range from £100 to £300. These medium-sized trees, like a mature hawthorn or a small oak, require more skill and equipment. In an open space, straight felling might keep the cost near £100. For instance, a 6-meter tree in a large backyard with easy access for our team could be a quick job. But if the tree is in a confined space, like between a shed and a neighbor’s fence, we’ll need to use section felling or additional tools, which could bring the cost closer to £300. Access also matters—if we can park our truck nearby and bring in equipment easily, it saves time. If we have to carry tools through a narrow alley or over a gate, it adds to the effort and cost.
Trees between 10 and 15 meters tall have prices ranging from £200 to £400. These are larger trees, such as a grown sycamore or willow, that often dominate a yard and require careful handling. Straight felling is sometimes possible in open areas, keeping costs around £200. For example, a 12-meter tree in a rural garden with no nearby structures might be a straightforward job. However, in urban settings, where trees are often near houses, garages, or power lines, section felling is usually necessary. This might involve climbers or a cherry picker to cut and lower branches safely, pushing the cost toward £400. We also check the tree’s condition—trees with rot or pest damage can be trickier to remove, which may affect the price.
For trees between 15 and 20 meters tall, our prices range from £300 to £600. These are significant trees, like mature pines or chestnuts, that demand advanced techniques and often heavier equipment. Straight felling is rarely an option due to the size and potential risks. Instead, we typically use section felling or a crane to remove the tree in controlled sections. For example, a 16-meter pine in an open field with good access for a crane might cost around £300. But if the same tree is in a tight city yard surrounded by buildings, we’ll need extra workers, specialized rigging, or even coordination with local authorities, which could raise the cost to £600. The tree’s location and health play a big role here, as do factors like nearby utilities or the need for traffic management.
Trees between 20 and 25 meters tall are priced from £400 to £800. These are very tall trees, such as large poplars or elms, that require significant expertise and equipment. Most of these jobs involve section felling or cranes because of the height and weight of the tree. For instance, a 21-meter tree in a spacious rural property might cost £400 if we can use a crane efficiently. However, if the tree is in a residential area with limited access, near power lines, or over a road, we may need additional safety measures, like road closures or utility company involvement, which can push the cost to £800. The complexity of the job, including the number of workers and hours needed, also influences the price.
For trees over 25 meters tall, our prices range from £500 to £1,000. These are massive trees, like ancient oaks or towering cedars, that are rare but pose significant challenges. Removing them often requires cranes, multiple climbers, and extensive planning. For example, a 28-meter oak in a park with clear access might cost £500 if we can bring in heavy machinery. But if it’s in a crowded neighborhood with houses, wires, or other obstacles, the cost could reach £1,000 due to the need for extra equipment, workers, and safety precautions. We also assess the tree’s structure—hollow trunks or heavy branches can complicate the process, adding to the cost.
Beyond tree height, several factors can influence the final price. Access to the tree is a big one. If we can drive our equipment right up to the tree, it’s faster and cheaper. But if the tree is in a backyard with no gate, we may need to carry tools by hand or use smaller machines, which takes longer. Trees near power lines, buildings, or roads require extra caution, often involving section felling, cranes, or coordination with utility companies. The tree’s condition matters too—healthy trees are more predictable, while damaged or diseased trees may need special handling. Additional services, like stump grinding, add to the cost. Stump grinding typically costs £50 to £150, depending on the stump’s size and root system. For example, a small stump might take 20 minutes to grind, while a large one could take over an hour. We can also chip branches into mulch for your garden (often included in the price) or haul debris away, which may add a small disposal fee.
We’re upfront about all costs. When you contact us, we offer a free assessment where we visit your property, measure the tree, and evaluate the site. We’ll note any challenges, like tight spaces or nearby structures, and provide a detailed quote that covers everything—labor, equipment, cleanup, and any extras you request, like stump removal.
