Most deciduous trees can be trimmed in winter. Trees go dormant during winter and cease growing in spring. This is a great time to take down branches so that new growth can be sown in the spring.
The cost of tree removing depends on the tree. For an accurate tree removal estimate, an arborist must inspect it in person.
How much will it cost to remove a medium-sized tree? Below are some examples of typical ranges:
The removal cost of a tree depends on its size more than its type. The removal of two trees with similar heights will likely cost the same amount. The best way to estimate the cost of removing a tree is to identify the type of tree.
We have regional Safety and Training coordinators who train and evaluate arborists on the most up-to-date techniques and tools for tree work. The technology and equipment used to safely and efficiently remove large trees has advanced significantly in recent years.

A majority of homeowners look to have trees removed as part of larger landscaping projects, with the exception being emergency tree removal. Tree removal companies may offer other services. A company can be hired to handle a complete project rather than breaking it down into smaller jobs.
Trees that are less than 30 feet high are considered small. Removing a small tree usually costs $150 to $500. Many fruit trees as well, like hawthornes (or silver birches), are small.
A medium-sized tree, such as a maple or elm, is 30–60 feet tall and costs between $600 and $1,000 to remove. A large tree like a mature oak is 60–80 feet tall and costs about $800 to $1,700 to remove. Any tree taller than 80 feet will cost around $1,500–$3,000 to remove.
In these cases, special machinery like cranes must be used to keep the falling tree from hitting surrounding structures. For jobs that require a crane, expect to add at least $500 to the tree removal price.
A variety of destinations can be made for fallen trees. Tree removal companies may sell it to customers as firewood, or send it through a wood chipper for mulch. The tree could end up in a green dump or biomass power plant. You could also send it to a chip or lumber mill.
Less common methods of stump removal include burning, which is about $250 per stump, and a chemical treatment, which costs about $100.
As part of the tree removal process, the stump will typically be left as close to the ground as possible. If needed, removal of the stump can be provided. Stump removal can be challenging and often special machinery is required, but it may be necessary if the stump is a hazard in the landscape or simply an eyesore. Stump grinding by a professional is the easiest and safest way to handle this work.
Most homeowners want to remove trees as part a larger landscaping project, with the exception of emergency tree cutting. You might also want to consider other services offered by tree removal companies. It is possible to save money by hiring a company to complete a project, rather than splitting it into several jobs.
However, tree removal cost isn't just dependent on the tree. The cost of tree removal can be influenced by other factors. A travel surcharge may apply if you live far from your home. This is because the contractor will have to bring heavy machinery up to your property. Also, those who live in places with higher living expenses will likely be charged more when hiring tree-removal contractors.
