From photos to quotation
How a small-tree cutting quote is prepared
Tree height is only one part of the assessment. Access, surrounding structures, branch size, hazards and the requested clean-up all help define the safe, written scope.
1. Send clear site photos
Show the whole tree from ground to top, the trunk base, access route, nearby roofs and fences, and any visible overhead lines. Include the suburb and approximate height.
2. Confirm the required result
Explain whether you need selected pruning, cutting back or complete removal, and whether suitable branches should be mulched or agreed green waste removed.
3. Check suitability and scope
Evergreen confirms whether the tree fits the small-tree service and whether the available information is enough for a quotation or a site visit is needed.
Can I get an initial small-tree quote from photos?
Clear photos can be used for an initial assessment. Send the whole tree from ground to top, the trunk base, access, nearby structures and any visible overhead lines, together with the suburb, approximate height and required result. A site visit may still be needed before the final scope is confirmed.
When might a different tree specialist be required?
Trees above Evergreen’s 7-metre service limit, unstable or hazardous trees, work near electrical assets, protected vegetation, or jobs requiring specialist climbing or equipment may need an arborist, electricity-network involvement, council approval or another appropriate specialist.
What the small-tree service can include
Each tree is checked from clear photos and site details first. Evergreen handles suitable small residential trees up to 7 metres; the exact cutting, pruning, mulching and clean-up scope is confirmed in the quotation.
Small-tree cutting
Assessment and cutting of suitable trees up to 7 metres, subject to access and surrounding hazards.
Pruning and reduction
Removal of selected branches and overgrowth where the work can be completed safely.
Mulching and clean-up
Processing suitable branches and removing agreed green waste to leave the work area tidy.
Is your tree suitable for this service?
The assessment considers the approximate height, trunk and branch size, tree condition, nearby roofs or fences, overhead lines, space to lower branches and access for equipment. If the job is not suitable for Evergreen’s small-tree service, it should be handled by the appropriate specialist.

Frequently asked questions
What size trees do you handle?
Evergreen assesses suitable small residential trees up to 7 metres. Photos, condition, access and nearby hazards are checked before the job is accepted.
What photos should I send for a small-tree quote?
Send a wide photo showing the whole tree, the trunk base, surrounding buildings and fences, access for equipment, and any nearby overhead lines. Include the suburb and approximate height.
Can you mulch branches and remove green waste?
Yes. Suitable branches can be processed with a compact mulcher, and agreed green waste can be removed when those items are included in the quotation.
Why is there no fixed online price?
The scope depends on the tree’s size and condition, access, nearby structures, the amount of material, and the requested clean-up. These details need to be assessed before a price is confirmed.
