What moves the price
- Tree size — a taller, wider tree takes longer to bring down in sections and leaves more timber to clear.
- Complexity of the job — a tree near a house or power lines has to come down in sections, which takes longer.
- Accessibility to the site — a tree in a back garden with no side access means every branch and log is carried out by hand.
- Potential need for specialised equipment — cranes or chippers are often quoted separately from the tree felling because the need varies.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical tree felling would have cost about €720 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Keeping the felled logs for firewood instead of having them taken away can lower the tree felling price.
- Having nearby trees pruned or felled on the same visit costs less than bringing the crew and equipment back later.
- Leaving the stump in place, cut low to the ground, saves the cost of separate stump grinding after the tree felling.
- Felling a dying tree before it becomes dangerous is usually cheaper than paying for emergency work after a storm.
- Moving garden furniture, pots and parked cars away from the drop zone before the day can save the crew setup time.
Before you book
- Access to the area where the tree is located, ensuring there are no obstacles.
- Information about the tree's condition and any nearby structures or utilities.
- A clear understanding of your goals for the tree removal or management.
- Permission for any necessary permits if the tree is protected by local regulations.
Tree Felling cost: questions people ask
The cost of tree felling can vary based on factors like tree size, location, and accessibility. Additional costs may arise if the tree is near power lines or requires special equipment.
The duration of a tree felling job depends on the tree's size and the complexity of the site. Generally, a small to medium tree can take a few hours, while larger trees may require a full day or more.
While many general landscape professionals can perform tree felling, hiring a qualified arborist is recommended for larger or more complex jobs to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. Always hire qualified professionals with experience and appropriate insurance for tree felling.
Same-day availability for tree felling services can be limited, especially during peak seasons. It's best to book in advance, but some providers may accommodate emergency requests.
Yes, many tree felling services offer bundled packages for multiple jobs, such as tree trimming or stump removal, which can often lead to cost savings and more efficient scheduling. Safety is paramount; ensure the team follows all safety protocols and uses proper equipment.
Services that are usually out of scope include landscaping after the tree is removed, soil replacement, and any repair work to structures that may have been damaged during the felling process. Timing can be crucial; certain times of year may be better for felling based on tree species and local regulations.
