How to price tree work

Tree pricing is driven by size, but the real multipliers are risk and access: a tree leaning over a roof or near power lines, with no room to drop limbs, can double or triple a "by size" estimate. Removals run from a few hundred dollars for a small tree to several thousand for a large, hazardous one.

Never quote a tree job sight-unseen. Factor crane or bucket needs, haul-away and chipping, stump grinding, and crew safety. This is the highest-liability work you can do — price for the risk and carry the insurance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does tree removal cost?

Roughly $150–$500 for a small tree, $400–$1,200 for medium, and $1,000–$3,000+ for large trees — much more when access is tight or the tree threatens a structure or power lines.

Why do tree quotes vary so much?

Size sets the baseline, but proximity to buildings and lines, drop room, equipment needs (crane/bucket), and haul-away can swing the price dramatically. Always assess on site.
