How Much Does Tree Removal Cost?

The cost of tree removal is a key consideration when deciding whether to remove a tree from your yard. In addition to beautifying your landscape, filtering the air, lowering energy bills and making us happier, healthy yard trees can add up to 20 percent to your home’s resale value, according to a 2021 study conducted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Bureau of Business Research.

Healthy plants have a higher value, so you want to keep them healthy as long as you can. But sometimes, the worst happens and a tree is fatally injured in an ice storm or pests, or one grows perilously close to the house or power lines. In these cases, the trees usually have to go.

Ahead you’ll learn what factors go into tree removal costs to help you decide how to take care of your trees.

“Just like every fingerprint, every single tree is different and unique,” says Jason Hayes of Davey Tree Care Service. “That goes for every tree removal, too. To give an accurate tree removal cost, an arborist needs to see it in person.”

Tree removal can cost from hundreds of dollars to thousands, depending on the size and location of the tree, the difficulty of access, and the scope of the job.
