Tree Removal Cost Estimator
Estimate the total cost of professional tree removal based on tree size, location difficulty, and optional add-on services.
Tree Height (feet)
Trunk Diameter at Chest Height (inches)
Location Difficulty
Easy – Open yard, no obstacles Moderate – Near fence or garden Hard – Near structure or power lines Very Hard – Confined space or hazardous lean
Tree Species Type
Softwood (Pine, Spruce, Fir) Mixed / Unknown Hardwood (Oak, Maple, Elm)
Tree Condition
Dead / Dying (easier to fell) Healthy / Standing Diseased / Structurally Compromised
Optional Add-On Services
Stump Grinding
Debris Hauling / Cleanup
Permit Fee (urban/regulated areas)
Emergency / Same-Day Service

#### Formula
Base Cost = (Height × $10.50) + (Trunk Diameter × $5.00)
Adjusted Cost = Base Cost × Difficulty Multiplier × Species Multiplier × Condition Multiplier
Total Cost = Adjusted Cost + Stump Grinding + Debris Hauling + Permit Fee + Emergency Surcharge
- Stump Grinding: $150 + ($3 × diameter in inches)
- Debris Hauling: $75 + ($1.50 × height in feet)
- Permit Fee: $75 flat
- Emergency Service: +35% of adjusted base cost
- Typical Range: ±15% of estimated total
