What does tree removal service cost?

Depending on various factors, the cost of tree removal can be as low as few hundred dollars to as high as several thousand. If you include additional services such as stump grinding or wood splitting, it can double the amount.
​
Factors to be considered are height, species, diameter and the risk factor in completing the job. All these variables add up to the total cost of tree removal. If you prefer to remove the stump after the process, this will change the entire amount.

Eliminating a tree is a challenging job, and it involves risks and dangers. However, some homeowners still opt for doing tree trimming on their own.

DIY Trimming
If you know the basics of tree trimming or pruning, doing it yourself is a practical way to go over it.
You have to ensure that you are using the proper tools in trimming your trees. Don't begin the project unless you have carefully planned every detail of the task. However, tree removal is a different story. If you have no skills or experience in this area, doing it yourself is the least of the options. You may think you are saving money, but it can cost you more.

Tree Size
Tree size is one of the significant factors to be considered in tree removal pricing. The larger the tree, the bigger the cost is.
  • Tree Height
    • Small- up to 30 ft
    • Medium- 30-60 ft
    • Large- 60-80ft
    • Extra Large- 80-100ft

The diameter of the tree will also affect the price of the process.

Tree Weight
Hardwood trees will cost more than softwoods. To figure out its weight, you need to determine the species and type of the tree. If the tree is dense, it will not be easy to cut it. You can ask your tree care company about the weight of your tree.
To help you find out the tree's weight, you can check the tree's size and diameter as well as its species.

Risk Factor
More than the tree's height, weight, and species, the danger, and challenges involved in cutting it down also play a significant role. If your tree is planted in an area that is difficult to access, it will also follow that the cost will increase due to the labor required. It is especially true if your tree is near a power line or a fixed structure. The tree company can add to the total amount of what you will pay.  If the tree is decaying or already dead, it can also add to the cost because it involves significant risk. If the tree is lopsided, it can also add to the value of the process.

Time Frame
Tree service companies also consider the length of time they will work on the task. If the tree is large, it will require a longer time. Therefore, it will cost more. It can be an hourly rate or depending on the size of the tree.
​
Before signing a contract with a tree service company, don't forget to compare the rates for you to be able to choose the right service that is within your budget.
