There can be a good deal of variation in the cost of removing a tree. Most of the difference in potential cost is based on the height of the tree, but there are also significant regional differences in tree care costs. Most tree removal companies charge for tree removal based on the height of the tree. There may be a per-foot cost for any tree removal, so of course a 40-foot tree will cost much less to have removed than a 90-foot tree.
What Affects the Cost of Tree Removal?
When your local tree service company is preparing an estimate for tree removal, other questions can also come up. For example, it is never possible to know a tree’s complete condition from roots to top – there may be compromised parts of the tree that will cause parts to break off midway through the process. Any time large branches come down during a tree removal, it adds to the hazard of the job and to the difficulty of the preparations.
Your tree removal service needs to be able to take the tree down without damaging any buildings nearby, and ideally should be able to remove the tree without injuring any neighboring trees. So, the tree’s proximity to structures, roads, power lines or other trees can also affect the cost for its removal.
And if, for another example, you want to transplant the tree to another part of your property, rather than having it completely removed, that adds to the final cost of the total job as well.
If the tree in question has already fallen, the good news is that the removal cost will be significantly lower than it would be if the tree were in perfect health and standing. A big reason for this is that the structures on the property are not in danger anymore at this point – that concern for the house and other structures adds a great deal to the cost and challenge of the project.
So, How Much Will This Cost You?
As we said, there are a lot of things that impact the cost of tree removal. But, on average, in the US, you can expect to pay on average about $750 to remove a tree from your yard. This is, however, only a very roughaverage estimate – you’ll need to have the tree inspected by a tree service professional for a better guess at the cost in your area and your particular situation.
