Tree Removal Cost
Cutting down and removing a tree costs an average of $400 to $1,200 with most paying $750. Extreme projects might hit $2,000 with the low end of small trees only costing $200. You’ll pay $8 to $15 per foot with the range coming from cost factors like accessibility and job complexity. Most pros charge different rates for different height ranges.
Height ranges vary by pro, but often use three categories: small (under 30 feet), medium (30 to 60 feet) and tall (over 60 feet). You’ll pay double when adding in cleanup, stump removal and landscaping.
Other factors that can affect the price include:
- Tree species:Â Different species grow to differing heights, create complex trunk systems, and have varying numbers of limbs with different densities. Some cities and states protect certain species, meaning more red tape to remove.
- Overhead, local tax and licensing requirements: You’ll pay more in heavily regulated areas with high costs of living.
- Accessibility and Complexity:Â Are there power lines, fences or other buildings near it? How much space does your pro have to work?
Other factors that affect removal costs include the tree’s condition, diameter and location.
