When looking for an Arborist on the Central Coast, there are a few small things that can save you big money.
Hiring the right business at the right time is going to save you hundreds, no doubt about it.
But, hiring a weekend wonder who is not a qualified and insured arborist, will also save you hundreds off your quote, but can sting you for “extras” while onsite, or do damage to your property.
It’s a gamble you don’t need to take if you follow the below simple checklist below.
1. The Search
In most cases, the expensive companies are at the top of Google search.
The same is true for Yellow Pages, True Local, Yelp and any other directory that charges to place you at the top of the pile.
Why?
Because all businesses have different marketing styles, the ones at the top throw a lot of money at it, which nets them a lot of calls and quotes, but they need to pass on those expenses to the customer, you!
Pro Tip: Avoid the first page of directories or even page one of Google results. They have all paid quite a lot to be there, so you will pay more.
2. Online Reviews
Just a quick word on reviews…. they can’t be trusted. Most local small businesses just get a bunch of friends to give them a good review.
Numerous studies have found that more than half of all online reviews for small businesses are fake. That includes Central Coast Arborists.
Asking the right questions in the quotation process is going to sort the cream from the cheese. (See the next step)
3. The quotation process
Now that we have filtered some of the more expensive companies out, we still need to make sure you are getting a quality job done.
Reliable and reputable operators are fully qualified arborists and have 5 million + in public liability insurance. I’ll show you how to check this.
Firstly, once they are standing in front of your note:
- Their attire: Are they presented well?
- Professionalism: Are they swearing, talking down to you, or just rude in general?
- Quotation medium: Do they hand you a written quote or give you a price on the back of a card?
- Qualifications: Do they hand you their qualifications and insurance without asking?
A Central Coast arborist worth their salt will carry around copies of their insurance details and be able to prove they are qualified.
If they are grubby, not very well-spoken, and try to give you a verbal quote, I would move on.

Why they are better priced
I’ll give you a big inside tip about tree removal services, they charge depending on how much work they have on at any one time.
If a company is busy and booked out 6 weeks in advance, they will begin to hand out more expensive quotes to slow the work down.
The same is true when they have very little on… Simple supply and demand.
We have a large list of tree services we work with on the Central Coast, but most of the time it’s only when they are quiet, that they ask us to match them with local customers.
It’s a win for them because they get to help customers, and a win for you because you know they are short on work and will be trying their best to win you over.

I have covered this in detail including what trees are exempt and what trees can be moved without applying for a permit.
