Every tree is different, so the only real price is a quote from a crew that has seen the tree. But national cost data gives a useful starting point.
Typical tree removal prices
According to HomeGuide’s national cost guide, most tree removals cost about $400 to $1,200, with an average around $850. By tree height:
| Tree height | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Small (under 30 ft) | $200 to $500 |
| Medium (30 to 60 ft) | $500 to $1,500 |
| Large (60 to 80 ft) | $850 to $2,000 |
| Extra large (over 80 ft) | $1,200 to $2,500+ |

What raises or lowers the price
- Access and risk: trees close to the house, wires or fences have to be taken down in pieces.
- Condition: dead or storm-damaged trees can be unpredictable and take more care.
- Cleanup: hauling away wood and brush, and stump grinding, may be extra.
- Equipment: a crane or bucket truck adds cost but can make a hard job safer and faster.
- Quarantine rules: in parts of Worcester County, wood from beetle-host trees has to be handled under Asian longhorned beetle rules.
Tips for getting a fair quote
- Ask exactly what’s included: cleanup, wood removal, stump.
- Ask for proof of insurance before work starts.
- Get the price in writing.
