Why Use the Tree Removal Cost Calculator?

We created this calculator because sometimes, not often, we need a tree or stump removed from our properties or yard. You might want to remove the tree because it has fallen, grown sideways toward your house, or is an eyesore. First, you need to know how much it will cost. The good thing about removing trees is that, many times, it doesn’t have to happen today or tomorrow—it can wait if you don’t have the money yet. However, sometimes trees need to be removed at the request of local city bylaws, because a neighbor got angry, or someone reported you for having an overgrown or fallen tree. Fallen trees can sometimes be covered by insurance, as they are often caused by lightning.

Sometimes when we purchase a new home, we find tree stumps in the yard and want to remove them. Removing tree stumps can cost a little more depending on how old they are, as the tree might have long and thick roots. Another reason you might want to remove a tree is because trees can be full of disease and start rotting inside, which can become a safety hazard. It’s best to have it removed. Or, if you’re buying an acreage, you might have hundreds of trees you want to clear out to start landscaping or to build another house. Tree removal companies are prepared for anything, whether it’s a big or small job.

Removing a tree right before selling your house could potentially increase the property value of your home. Curb appeal is a big thing when it comes to selling a home—you want your property to look as neat as possible when putting your home up for sale. Removing a tree for $500 can increase your property value by $1,000, giving you a 100% profit on your investment. Making your front and backyard cozy creates a nice view for passersby.

Tree removal services near me can get expensive, especially when I have to order a picker truck to remove a tree. Picker trucks can charge anywhere from $150 to $400 per hour, depending on how big the tree is or how far the reach is. The same goes for tree stump removal near me—not too many companies have the right tools, and ordering specialty tools to get a tree removed in your area can be hard to arrange. In such cases, companies may also charge for travel time to your location.

That’s why, when you ask, “How much does it cost to remove a tree?” the cost can vary quite a bit. We’ve taken averages for our tree removal calculator to give you an idea of how much it can cost. Depending on your location, these costs can vary greatly. There aren’t too many tree removal companies out there.

How to Remove a Tree Stump

You can remove a tree stump by using a stump grinder. The rotating blade of the stump grinder will cut the tree stump into small pieces that are easy to clean up. Another way to remove a tree stump is to burn it. Use caution, though, as this might not be allowed in your area, and the fire could spread. Be sure to have water nearby, and make sure you know what you’re doing when burning a tree stump.

Final Thoughts

For me, getting a tree removed is the most important thing when it comes to making my property look clean, especially a tree stump, I paid over half a million for my house and property and for that price I am going to make it look as clean as possible because not only do I want to resell my property one day for a higher value, I want to make sure it has an awesome curb appeal. So yes, I will pay for tree removal costs no matter what the cost.
