Tree Removal Cost Calculator

Tree removal typically costs $150 to $3,000+ depending mainly on tree height. Small trees under 30 ft run $150-$400, medium trees (30-60 ft) run $400-$900, large trees (60-80 ft) run $900-$1,500, and very large trees (over 80 ft) can run $1,500-$3,000 or more.

Removing trees near power lines requires extra caution, specialized equipment, and sometimes coordination with the utility company, which typically adds about 25% to the base cost.

Yes, stump grinding is usually a separate add-on service costing roughly $75-$400 depending on stump diameter, and it's not automatically included in a tree removal quote unless you request it.

Difficult access includes trees in tight backyards, behind fences, close to structures, or without a clear path for equipment like a bucket truck or wood chipper. This typically adds about 20% to the base cost due to extra labor and manual work required.

Many cities and municipalities require a permit to remove certain tree species or trees above a certain size, especially in protected zones. Check with your local municipality before removal, as unpermitted removal can result in fines.

For small trees, DIY removal can save money but carries real safety risk. Large trees, trees near structures or power lines, or trees requiring cranes should always be handled by licensed, insured professionals.

Most professional tree removal quotes include cutting, felling, and basic debris cleanup, but hauling large logs away or wood chipping may be quoted separately — always confirm what's included when getting a quote.
