The honest 2026 ranges: trimming $300–$1,200 per tree by size and access; removal $500–$2,500+, with big, hazardous, or over-structure removals running past $4,000. This is the yard trade where the cheap quote is the expensive one — insurance is the product you're actually buying.
| Tree | Trim | Remove |
|---|---|---|
| Small (< 25 ft) | $300 – $500 | $500 – $900 |
| Medium (25–50 ft) | $400 – $800 | $900 – $1,800 |
| Large (50–75 ft) | $700 – $1,200 | $1,500 – $2,500 |
| Very large / over structures | $1,000+ | $2,500 – $5,000+ |
| Stump grinding | — | $100 – $400 |
The storm-season rule: the best time to price tree work is before the storm. Hangers and splits after a big blow get emergency rates ($1,000+ minimums are common), and the crews are triaging. The $600 trim in March beats the $2,000 emergency in July every time.
If the trees are part of a bigger reset, bundle it with a cleanup — one mobilization, better pricing. Request a quote and our crew for your metro will follow up within a business day.

Because it's rigging work at height with consequences. Insurance for tree crews costs multiples of lawn-crew coverage, the equipment (climbers, buckets, chippers, cranes for big removals) is expensive, and the skill difference between a trimmer and a climber is the difference between pruned and butchered — or worse.
Height and trunk size, what's under and around it (structures, fences, lines), access for equipment, and whether it's standing sound or storm-damaged. A 30-foot tree in an open front yard and the same tree leaning over your roof are different jobs by $1,000 or more.
Usually quoted separately — $100–$400 by stump size. Confirm either way. Leaving the stump is fine structurally; grinding matters if you're replanting, re-sodding, or tired of mowing around it.
Because when tree work goes wrong, it goes wrong at homeowner's-insurance scale — a dropped limb through a roof, a neighbor's fence, a service line. An uninsured crew's mistake becomes your claim and your premium. Verify general liability AND workers' comp; a climber hurt on your property without comp coverage is your problem too.
