Knowing these factors ahead of time can better prepare you for what you’re looking at when it comes to finding affordable tree services in the surrounding area.

Type Of Tree Affects The Cost Of Tree Removal

If there are two trees you need to remove that are nearly the same height or diameter, they typically can cost the same no matter the type of tree. Different types of trees can vary in cost simply because of how high and wide they get. For example, pine trees can grow upwards of 90 feet tall while maple trees can get up to 100-feet tall.

Size Can Impact The Cost of Tree Removal

One of the major factors that goes into the removal of any tree from your property is the size of the tree itself. When we are looking at the cost of removing any tree, the size affects how long it will take to safely remove the tree completely. Branches that are higher up require more equipment to reach. When trees are tall enough to touch power lines or your home, we must use more man power and different techniques to keep everyone safe.

Another factor to consider in the cost of tree removal is the width of the tree. As trees age and grow, they get wider at the bottom. This will affect the process of removal and factor into the cost as well.

Cost to Remove Trees That are Hard to Access

Do you have trees that are hard to access or in a tight spot? You can expect to pay upwards of 50% more than if the tree was in an easily accessible spot. This could include trees that are too close to power lines, trees with branches that are heavy and hanging over the home, or in a tight space that is hard to get equipment too.

The cost of tree removal for hard-to-reach trees can fluctuate depending on the situation and the other factors mentioned. The best thing to do is call in our professional tree service team to see what you’re looking at to get rid of trees that need to go.

Remove Multiple Trees

Do you have multiple trees that need to be removed? A tree surgeon here can help you determine the cost of tree removal for acres versus tree by tree. Our technician will come out and evaluate the area of trees you want to have cleared. After a thorough inspection of the trees and your property, our arborist will go over his findings. You’ll then receive a full estimate of the job from start to finish.

Other Costs Involved In Tree Removal

There are multiple other costs involved in the process of removing trees from your property. Knowing what to look for and expect can help you be prepared for the cost of tree removal. Our team is here to help you learn the best route to take when it comes to removing trees that could be dangerous or just bothersome.

Some of the other factors that go into the costs of removal include: 

• Cleanup & Debris Removal

  • When it comes to tree removal services, the cost typically includes removing the large stump and tree branches. However, lots of debris may be left behind.  Discuss what cleanup and debris removal you want to include in the cost of tree removal. This will help you get a more accurate estimate and avoid having debris left behind that you don’t want to deal with.

• Fall Trees / Emergencies

  • A tree falling down can cause a removal emergency. When it’s blocking a path in or out or is on a structure, it can’t wait for removal services. This is a riskier job than scheduling the service out a few weeks. The tree could be in a precarious, dangerous position and that adds to the cost of removing it. The team will have to take extra safety precautions to ensure the safety of the workers and the structures around them.

• Stump Removal

  • Removing the stumps is different from taking the tree down. With our stump removal, we completely remove the tree and its roots altogether. This removes a larger stump from being left behind that could cause issues later on. Stump removal itself is not typically included in the cost of tree removal. This may be an added cost you’d need to factor in.
