Stump Grinding in Melbourne
Tree removal almost always leaves a stump. Most clients want it ground out on the same visit — same crew, same disposal, no second call-out. Stump grinding adds $150-$600 depending on stump diameter and root spread, but only if you choose to add it.

The bottom-of-the-market tree removal quote in Melbourne — the one that comes in 40-50% below the rest — almost always saves the money by skipping something material. Knowing which corners are being cut helps you decide whether the saving is real or whether the bill arrives later in a different form.
Cut corner #1: No insurance. Public liability insurance for tree work costs $4,000-$8,000 per year. The contractor with no PL passes that saving on through cheaper quotes, but if they drop a limb on your neighbour’s pergola, it’s your insurance that pays the claim (and your premiums that rise). Cost saved on the quote: $200-$400 on a typical job.
Cut corner #2: Cash-only operation. A cash operator skips GST (10%) and income tax. The “saving” is real on the day, but you have no recourse if anything goes wrong — no GST invoice means no Consumer Affairs complaint pathway. Cost saved on the quote: $80-$200 on a typical job.
Cut corner #3: No safety equipment beyond a chainsaw. No helmet, no chaps, no first-aid kit, no traffic management. WorkSafe penalties on cash jobs are rare because cash jobs aren’t reported. The risk shifts to you if a contractor injury happens on your property. Cost saved on the quote: $100-$300.
Cut corner #4: No stump treatment. The tree comes down but the stump stays as a 30 cm tall obstacle in the lawn. You learn this is not “included” only after the crew has left. Cost saved on the quote: $150-$400.
Cut corner #5: Waste left in piles. “All cleaned up” turns out to mean “piled in the corner of the yard for you to dispose of”. Cost saved on the quote: $200-$600 depending on tree size.
Cut corner #6: No permit handling on trees that need one. The work goes ahead anyway. Three weeks later you get a council infringement notice. Cost passed back to you: $500-$3,000 in fines plus a forced re-planting order in some councils.
Cheap is fine when the job is genuinely simple and the cheap quote is from a small, properly insured one-man operation taking a fill-in job. Cheap is expensive when it’s the cover for skipped certifications. The difference between the two is whether the contractor can produce paperwork on request.
