Get the job described properly
Explain whether access is through a side gate, under a deck, along a shared driveway or across another part of the property. The contractor needs to assess clearance for equipment and the handling of branches and timber, rather than relying on an opening that is only wide enough to walk through.
The details that change the quote
Steps, changes in level, roof overhangs and tight corners can affect the approach. A long carry to the truck may change the scope even where the tree itself is modest. Any fence removal or use of neighbouring land must be discussed and agreed separately.
What to send with your enquiry
Measure the narrowest accessible opening and photograph each change in the route. Note fragile paving, retaining edges and areas that need to remain usable. Do not remove panels or alter the garden in anticipation of a method that has not yet been agreed.
Questions about confined-access tree removal.
Can a rear-yard tree be considered without vehicle access?
Yes, as an assessment enquiry. The contractor will decide whether their equipment and work method can suit the route and what that means for the quote.
Should I arrange access through a neighbour first?
Mention it as a possibility, but do not assume it is required. The method should be assessed first and any permission confirmed before the access is used.
