Okay, I'll be honest. It really annoys me when you Google "how much does tree removal cost" and every single result either gives you a useless range like "$150 to $5,000" or tries to get you to fill out a form so some random company can call you 47 times.
So here's what it actually costs. From someone who does this every day here in The Woodlands.
Small trees under 30 feet - $250 to $600.
Think small ornamental trees, young maples, stuff that's more of an inconvenience than a real project.
Medium trees 30 to 50 feet - $600 to $1,200.
This is where most residential jobs fall.
Large trees 50 to 80 feet - $1,200 to $3,500.
These jobs take a crew, the right equipment, and sometimes a full day.
Very large or hazardous trees over 80 feet - $3,500 and up.
Now here's why those ranges are so wide.
A few things affect the price that most people don't think about.
How close the tree is to your house, fence, or power lines.
Whether the tree is dead, diseased, or leaning, that makes the job more technical.
Obstacles around the tree like structures, other trees, or tight spaces.
Whether you want the debris hauled away or if you want to keep the logs for firewood.
And access, whether we can actually get our equipment to the tree.
Two trees that look exactly the same from the street can be completely different jobs once we actually get eyes on them.
One more thing worth knowing.
If you've got multiple trees that need work we do offer a multi-tree discount. So if you've been putting off dealing with a few of them it's worth getting them all looked at at the same time.
I hope this actually helps.
If you have a tree you're thinking about and want a straight answer on price, just send us a message.
No pressure. No games. No 47 follow up calls.
And yes we do free estimates.
If that tree is totally fine I'll tell you that too.
