March 15, 2021 · by Drain + Tree
In a crowded space or next to a building, tree removal is challenging. Sidewalks, driveways, streets, and fences make tree removal a multiple-step process. The tree removal process involves careful planning, the right equipment, and an experienced crew.
The details of the process determine the cost to provide the tree service. Therefore, it is challenging to provide detailed pricing without a property evaluation.
What determines the cost?
The cost of removing a tree varies. There are a few determining factors:
- Tree size and species — height, trunk diameter, wood density
- Location — proximity to buildings, power lines, fences, and driveways
- Access — can equipment reach the tree directly, or do limbs need to be lowered piece by piece?
- Disposal — chipping on site, hauling, or stump removal
The average tree will cost $500 to $700 to remove. Trees in tight quarters or those requiring crane work will run higher.
