The price of hiring a tree removal company to remove a tree from your yard varies greatly. Some homeowners will enjoy low-cost tree removal, while others will discover that removing a tree costs thousands. That’s because there are several factors that a tree service will look at when determining the cost of removing the tree.
1. Tree Height
The taller a tree is, the more work it will take to remove it. Companies will need climbers to cut branches higher off the ground, more equipment to use to cut up the tree, and it will take longer. Be sure to talk to a professional tree removal service to understand how they price their projects for trees around the height of yours.
2. Stump Removal
Some homeowners leave stumps in their yards to avoid paying the additional stump removal cost. If you choose to have a tree service remove the stump from your yard, it requires additional workers who understand how to remove it. Companies that do this also need different equipment. As a homeowner, getting an estimate on removing a tree with and without stump removal is best.
3. Location
According to Home Advisor, trees that are not easily accessible cost up to 50% more to remove than trees that are easy to get to. The more work a tree removal company has to do to remove a tree, the more it will cost. That’s because it takes more labor, a larger crew, and more time. Occasionally, special equipment will need to be used to access trees in difficult locations. Ask a company to view the tree’s location when getting an estimate.
4. Overall Size
Size is an important factor in tree removal. Even if you have a shorter tree, the trunk’s diameter will impact the price. This is because larger trees require more labor to remove. Tree companies also have to dispose of the debris from the tree they remove. The larger the tree, the greater the amount of debris.
