What is the Average Tree Removal Cost?
In this guide, we will show you the average tree removal cost for various types of trees. Now, we must mention, there is no cut and dry way to determine the exact price. However, what we discuss today is meant to serve you as a guideline. For instance, we will talk about tree height and job complexity.
Tree Removal Cost
The average homeowner will pay around $150 and $1,500 as a tree removal cost. Some factors will affect overall costs of your tree removal. We will go in depth as to what some of those are.
Location
First, the location of the tree can surely affect the tree removal cost up to 50%. For example, if a tree is comfortably sitting away from a structure or a power line, it is an easier job. Hence, it is cheaper.
Condition
Moreover, the condition of the tree can affect the tree cost. Some factors that play a role in a tree’s condition include:
- Weak Branches
- Cavities or Decay
- Multiple Trunks
- Lean
- Tree History
Diameter
In addition, the thicker your tree the higher the tree removal cost. A tall and relatively thin tree will come down faster when compared to a thicker one in diameter.
Dead Trees
Because of the unpredictability of a dead tree, it is always best to assume that it will cost you a bit more to remove it.

Average Price for Extra Services
Finally, when you hire a tree removal service, you need to make sure of what they’re going to do. Do not ever assume that tree removal includes hauling away the debris or stump grinding. In fact, these are often an additional charge. Therefore, here are some of the extras and a general idea of what they can cost you.
- Stump Removal: Once the tree is cut down, the stump will remain there unless you pay to have it removed. Typically, you are charged $2 per inch of the stump, per stump, and per hour.
- Trimming/Cutting: Trimming the tree will cost you anywhere between $250 and $500 and this depends on tree size as we mentioned before.
- Pruning: Though similar to trimming, it is done for tree maintenance directly. It is different as it addresses larger branches. The price range is approximately the same, but at the higher end of the scale.
