Tree surgeon cost in Ireland
Tree work can be simple garden maintenance or a serious safety job, depending on the tree's size, health, location and access. Trees near houses, roads, sheds, power lines or neighbouring property need careful handling by experienced professionals.
In Ireland, small pruning jobs often start around €200 to €300, while full tree removal can range from roughly €300 to €2,000 or more. Large, dangerous, storm-damaged or awkward trees can cost significantly more because they need specialist equipment and waste handling.
