What moves the price
- Height and trunk width. A 70-foot pine costs far more than a 20-foot ornamental.
- What is underneath. A tree over a roof, pool or power line has to be taken down in small pieces with ropes, which takes longer.
- Access. If a bucket truck or crane can reach the tree, the job goes faster. Backyards behind fences cost more.
- Condition. Dead or storm-damaged trees can be unpredictable to climb, which adds risk and time.
- Cleanup. Hauling the wood away, leaving it as firewood, and grinding the stump are often priced separately. Ask what is included.
Getting a fair quote
- Get the quote in writing, with cleanup and stump grinding listed.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation. Tree work is dangerous, and an uninsured crew injured on your property can become your problem.
- Be wary of anyone who knocks on doors right after a storm asking for full payment up front.

Common questions
Why do tree removal quotes vary so much?
Height, what is under the tree, whether a bucket truck or crane can reach it, the tree's condition, and whether cleanup and stump grinding are included all change the price.
Is stump grinding included in tree removal?
Often not. Ask whether the quote includes stump grinding and hauling the wood away.
Should I pay for tree removal up front?
Avoid large up-front payments. Get a written quote, and be wary of anyone who asks for full payment before the work, especially after a storm.
