Free itemized estimate in under a minute. Sourced pricing, no bidding wars.
Enter your tree's height, species, trunk diameter, access, and condition for an itemized cost range. This is a planning estimate, not a binding quote — bring it to your contractor conversation so you know what should be in the final number.
Taller trees and denser hardwoods cost more to cut and rig safely than a small softwood.
Trees near a structure or power lines need slower, more careful rigging — that shows up as a premium, not a surprise.
Dead, hazardous, or storm-damaged trees cost more due to unpredictable failure risk and faster response times.
Typical baseline cost runs $325 for small trees under 30 ft, $825 for medium trees 30–60 ft, $1,650 for large trees 60–80 ft, and $2,850 for very large trees over 80 ft — before adjustments for trunk diameter, species, access, and condition.

It varies by city and county. Many residential removals on your own property don’t require a permit, but several Panhandle cities have tree ordinances. Check with your city or county code enforcement office before removal — a legitimate tree service will know the local rules.
Usually only if the tree fell due to a covered cause like a storm, and coverage is often capped at $500–$1,000 per tree or about 5% of dwelling coverage. A healthy tree you simply want removed is rarely covered. Check your policy before assuming.
