What moves the price
- Tree's size — a large mature tree needs more climbing, more cuts and more waste handling than a small garden tree.
- Complexity of the job — tree work over a roof, road or power line needs ropes, rigging and more time.
- Disposal of debris — taking away branches and logs is often quoted separately from the tree work because it varies so much.
- Equipment needed — a mobile platform, crane or stump grinder is often hired in for bigger tree work and adds to the cost.
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 surgery would have cost about €540 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →
