A diseased or dead tree can pose a risk to the health and safety of your property and other trees. Although it may seem less expensive to have a tree removed, it could be more costly if the tree is in danger or it could cause severe damage. A tree removal service can inspect the situation and provide a quote.
The stump will normally be left in the ground as part of tree removal. If required, the stump may be removed. The task of stump removal can be complicated and require special machinery. This may be necessary if there is a risk to the landscape, or if it is an eyesore. The best and most secure way to do this is by hiring a professional stump grinder.
The most important factor in determining the overall cost of a project is the tree's size. Large trees pose more safety and risk than small ones. Tall trees will require arborists to use special equipment. The risk of injury is higher, so the cost will also be higher.
You might prefer to have someone else do this job. Time is another factor. Tree trimming companies have their own equipment and tools, which allows them to complete the job quickly.
The price of a tree is largely determined by its size. However, there are other factors that can affect the cost.
Some tree species will need to be trimmed or pruned differently depending on the season. It's a good idea to avoid pruning trees in the fall, as fungi are more likely to spread during this time.
To remove trees that exceed 10 feet in height, permit must be purchased in most areas. A permit costs between $60 and $150, but you could be fined more if you don't get one before you begin work.
These tree removal prices should provide an estimate of what you can expect to pay for an average project, or more extreme projects.
Although an old stump of a tree might not be a problem initially, it can quickly become a nuisance.
Depending on how long it takes to remove the stump and roots, the cost of removing them will be between $150 and $500. A stump grinder, which uses a hydraulic machine to remove the stump and some roots, typically costs $100-$400. A stump grinder can be rented from a hardware shop and you can remove the stump yourself. These machines are usually intended for stumps of small dimensions.
Professionals might suggest pruning and trimming at different times in the year to stimulate growth, or to use the tree's dormant periods to slow down new sprouting.
It will cost you less to remove a fallen tree than a standing tree. While removing an upright tree carries a high risk, removing a fallen one is much safer and less expensive.
The tree removal costs listed above should provide a reasonable estimate as to how much you can expect spend on an ordinary project or in extreme situations.
Location is critical, too. Removing a tree in an open space is quicker and presents fewer obstacles than removing a tree that is growing flush to your house. Arborists can assess your tree and provide you with quotes based on the variables involved. For example, removing a medium-size hackberry tree that was growing too close to a home — the roots were damaging the home’s foundation — cost $1,500. This price included rope-down, house protection, tree quartering and stacking, and stump removal.
