What affects the price

  • Size and height — taller trees and thicker trunks take more time, gear, and cleanup.
  • Access — trees near houses, fences, or power lines need careful rigging — pricier than an open drop.
  • Health and lean — dead, diseased, or leaning trees are riskier and priced higher.
  • Species — hardwoods like oak are denser and slower to cut than softwoods.
  • Stump and debris — grinding the stump and hauling the wood are usually add-ons.
  • Emergency / storm work — after-hours and storm-damage jobs carry a premium.

How pros price it

Tree services usually price by size, access, and risk — not a flat rate.

A common approach is a day-rate or hourly crew rate ($100–$400+/hr) plus add-ons for stump grinding ($100–$500) and hauling. Most pros scope the job from the canopy size and how tight the drop zone is before quoting.

Measuring the property and drop zone from satellite before you drive out — then itemizing removal, stump, and cleanup — makes quotes faster and more accurate. In ServicePros Hub the measured area and line items drop straight into a branded estimate.

FAQ

Tree removal cost
How much does it cost to remove a large tree?

Large trees (60–80 ft) typically cost $850–$2,000 to remove, and extra-large trees over 80 ft can run $1,200–$2,500 or more, depending on access, lean, and whether stump grinding and hauling are included.

Does tree removal cost include the stump?

Usually not. Stump grinding or removal is typically an add-on at $100–$500+ per stump, so ask whether a quote includes the stump and debris hauling.

How much do tree services charge per hour?

Crew rates commonly run $100–$400+ per hour, depending on region, the equipment needed, and job risk.

How can I estimate a tree removal quickly?

Measure the property and drop zone from satellite, note the tree's height, access, and hazards, then itemize removal, stump, and cleanup. ServicePros Hub does this in one app and turns it into an estimate.
