Plan the space around the tree
Tell us how you use the area now and what you have planned. You may want clearer access, space for landscaping or help with a tree close to a building.
These details help the site inspection focus on your property and priorities.
• Trees and garden areas you want to keep
• Nearby buildings, fences and driveways
• Gates or other access restrictions
• Other work planned for the same space.
Decide what the finished job should include
Tree removal, stump grinding and debris removal are separate details to discuss in your quote. Think about whether you want to retain any timber and how you intend to use the area afterwards. If you are planning paving, landscaping or building work, mention it during the inspection so you can clarify the scope before organising the next trade.
Choose the right work for your plans
Unsure whether removal is needed? Ask about an assessment and whether pruning could address your concern. For a larger vegetation project, discuss land clearing.
Grafton tree-work questions
Can you look at several trees during the quote?

Is stump grinding automatically included?
Ask for it to be included in the scope if you need it. Big River offers stump grinding alongside tree removal.
What happens to branches and timber?
Removal of timber and debris is agreed as part of the work. Discuss what you want removed or retained before accepting the quote.
