What affects the price

• Tree size
  Under 30 ft: $385-685. 30-60 ft: $685-1,500. 60-80 ft: $1,500-2,500. 80+ ft (mature oak/maple): $2,500-4,500.
• Access + drop zone
  Open backyard, easy fall: cheapest. Tight drop zone (over fence, near house): rope-down + sectional cuts, +50%. Crane-removal: $1,000-2,500 add for large/dangerous trees.
• Species + condition
  Healthy soft wood (poplar, willow): cheaper. Hard wood (oak, hickory): more time + chains. Dead/diseased ash (EAB): brittle, requires extra care, +20-40%.
• Stump
  Cut to grade (flush with soil): included. Stump grinding (6-8" below grade): +$150-450. Stump removal (full root ball): +$500-1,500.
• Hauling
  Most quotes include haul-away. Some discount $100-200 if you keep the wood. Negotiate this.

When to call

Tree is dead, leaning toward house, has visible cracks at trunk, or is too close to power lines. Storm damage with broken limbs hung up = call same day, don't try DIY. Mature ash with EAB damage = remove before it falls. Avoid removing healthy mature trees — they add $5-15K to home value.
