Tree removal cost depends mostly on the height of the tree. A tree removal service for a standing tree runs from about $400 for a small tree to $2,500 for a very large one, including chipping and haul-away. Most homeowners pay about $800 for a medium tree. Tree stump removal is extra.

| Medium, 30 to 60 ft | $800 | $800 |

## What affects Tree Removal cost

- **Tree size:** Height is the main driver of tree removal cost. A small tree under 30 ft is $400. A medium tree, 30 to 60 ft, is $800. A large tree, 60 to 80 ft, is $1,500. A very large tree over 80 ft is $2,500. These are standing trees in an open yard.
- **Access:** A tree next to a house, fence, or power line is about 35 percent more, because it has to come down in pieces. A medium tree in a tight spot is about $1,080. An emergency removal, or a tree already on a house, costs more than that.
- **Stump grinding:** Tree stump removal is not included. Stump grinding is $300 for each stump. A tree that is already on the ground is a different job, often about $85 to $300, and these standing-tree prices do not cover it.
- **What the price includes:** Chipping and haul-away are included. If a quote leaves debris out, hauling and chipping are often another $70 to $350. A crane for a very large tree can push the job to $5,000 or more. A second tree on the same visit is often a bit less than the per-tree rate. The minimum charge is $250.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the average tree removal cost?

For one standing tree in an open yard, tree removal cost is $400 for a small tree, $800 for a medium tree, $1,500 for a large tree, and $2,500 for a very large tree. Most homeowners pay around $800, which is the medium-tree price. The displayed range is plus or minus 25 percent around the midpoint. Chipping and haul-away are included. The stump is not.

### How much does a tree removal service cost for one tree?

A tree removal service for one medium tree is about $800. A small tree under 30 ft is $400, a large tree is $1,500, and a very large tree over 80 ft is $2,500. Tight access, such as a tree next to a house or power line, adds about 35 percent. One stump, if you add it, is $300 more, so a medium tree with stump grinding is $1,100.

### How much does tree stump removal cost?

Tree stump removal is priced as stump grinding at $300 each. The tree price does not include it. Add one for every stump you want ground. Two stumps are $600. Grinding is the usual choice. Full stump extraction can cost more than grinding.

### Does tree cutting cost more for larger trees?

Yes. Tree cutting and removal go up with height: $400 under 30 ft, $800 from 30 to 60 ft, $1,500 from 60 to 80 ft, and $2,500 over 80 ft. A very large tree that needs a crane can reach $5,000 or more, which is above the $2,500 rate.

### What makes a tree removal cost more than the size price?

Tight access adds about 35 percent because the tree comes down in sections. A fallen tree is usually cheaper, often $85 to $300, and is not included in these standing-tree prices. Emergency work, especially a tree on a house or power line, costs more than the tight-access price. Haul-away is already included.

### How does the calculator price more than one tree?

Each tree is priced at the size you pick. Two medium trees are $1,600 before access or stumps. A second tree on the same visit is often a bit less than that in a real quote. Stump grinding is $300 for each stump you add, not one fee for the whole job. If the total would fall under $250, the estimate starts at the $250 minimum.
