Why Does Tree Species Matter?

Different trees have different wood types. As a result, some trees are harder to remove. For example, oak is much denser than pine. So, oak costs more to remove.

Hardwood Trees Cost More

Oak, walnut, and maple are hardwoods. They are heavy and dense. Therefore, they need more labor and equipment. As a result, they cost more.

Softwood Trees Cost Less

Pine, spruce, and aspen are softwoods. They are lighter and easier to cut. So, they cost less to remove. In fact, softwoods can cost 30-40% less than hardwoods.

Problem Trees Need Extra Care

Ash and cottonwood can be tricky. Ash trees may have disease. Also, cottonwood has brittle branches. So, these trees need extra care. According to the International Society of Arboriculture, tree density affects removal time.

How to Measure Your Tree

To get a good estimate, you need two numbers. First, the trunk width. Second, the tree height. Here's how to measure both.

Step 1: Measure Trunk Diameter

First, find a tape measure. Then, go to your tree. Measure the trunk at chest height. This is about 4.5 feet up. Wrap the tape around the trunk. Then, divide by 3.14. This gives you the diameter.

Step 2: Estimate Tree Height

Next, look at your tree. Compare it to your house. A two-story house is about 25 feet tall. So, if your tree is twice as tall, it's about 50 feet. This method works well for most trees.

Factors That Affect Your Price

Our calculator gives a good estimate. However, several factors can change the final price. Here are the main ones.

Location Matters

Is your tree near your house? Or near power lines? If so, it needs extra care. As a result, it may cost more. Also, trees in backyards cost more. This is because we have to carry debris further.

Tree Condition Matters

Dead trees can be dangerous. So can storm-damaged trees. Therefore, these trees need special equipment. In addition, they take more time. As a result, they cost more to remove.

Terrain Matters

Is your yard flat or hilly? Slopes make the job harder. Also, uneven ground adds risk. So, difficult terrain can increase the price.

Large Trees May Need a Crane

Very large trees may need crane service. This is safer for big removals. However, it does add to the cost.
