Question

what is the typical price for having tree removed?

Answer 1

Another tip: It's a little late now, but if you can stand to stare at a dead tree for another summer, most tree trimmers/removers will give a winter discount.



We had a ginormous cottonwood removed from our backyard. We chose to leave the stump, so that made the price a little cheaper, but this tree was huge. At least 50 years old and both my husband and myself could not put our arms around the trunk together.



In the dead of January, we had the tree removed for $300. The tree guys said if we'd removed it in the spring/summer the cost would almost double.

Answer 2

When I price trees I look at the size of the tree in relation to the available working space. Buildings, electrical lines, gardens and other obstacles that limit the available space play a role in pricing. It is hard to give a price without seeing the tree and area. Next I would look at how we can access the work site. Does all the brush and material have to be moved from the back yard to the front or can the trucks and equipment park right in the work area?



Every tree is different I have done trees for $100 to $5000. If you think the tree is somewhat easy (small tree with lots of room to work) Call maybe 1 or 2 tree services for a price. If you think it is a difficult tree (large tree with very little working space) call 4 or 5 tree companies for a price.

Answer 3

We saved money by having the tree company stack the leftover wood next to the stump rather than having it carted away.

Answer 4

That's determined by the tree size, condition, accessibility, and kind.
