How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in 2025?
— A Guide from Tree Beard Tree Surgery Limited
If you’re planning to have a tree removed this year, you’re probably wondering what kind of cost is involved. Whether it’s a hazardous tree near your property, an old stump in the way, or just one that’s outgrown its space — understanding the typical costs helps you plan ahead with confidence.
Here’s a clear and honest breakdown of average tree work costs in 2025, based on real jobs across Northumberland, Cumbria, County Durham, South Tyneside, North Tyneside, and Gateshead.
🌱 Stump Removal Costs
Once a tree is taken down, the stump often remains — unless you ask for it to be removed. Stump grinding clears the way for replanting, paving, or simply a tidier garden.
Small: £100 – £230
Medium: £310 – £440
Large: £520 – £740
Pricing depends on the size, root depth, and how accessible the area is.
⸻
✂️ Pruning & Tree Maintenance
Not all trees need to be removed. Sometimes, a professional prune is all that’s needed to reduce size, improve shape, or keep the tree safe and healthy.
Small trees: £260 – £370
Medium trees: £440 – £620
Large trees: £780 – £1,120
Tree pruning can include crown thinning, deadwood removal, and reshaping — especially useful in built-up areas.

💡 Additional Costs to Keep in Mind
Some jobs come with extra considerations, depending on the location, condition, or legal status of the tree:
• Tree survey or arborist report: £310 – £430
• Green waste removal: £120 – £750
• Difficult access / confined spaces: May affect overall cost
• Protected trees (TPO): Requires council permission before any work
• Pavement or road access: May need permits and extra safety measures
We’ll always advise you clearly before any work begins.

🌳 Tree Removal Costs by Tree Height
Tree size plays a big role in the final cost — taller trees take more time, planning, and equipment to safely remove.
Up to 8 metres: £260 – £360
Up to 10 metres: £420 – £600
Up to 12 metres: £690 – £980
Up to 15 metres: £1,240 – £1,750
Over 18 metres: £1,800 – £2,550
We always carry out a full assessment first, so you know exactly what’s involved.
