"On August 10, our home incurred major damage from the Derecho, a straight-lined windstorm with over 100 mph winds associated with severe thunderstorms. Afterwards we found ourselves left with two very large trees (the largest of them being the neighbor’s maple tree) on our house and debris scattered throughout the area. We were in a state of shock and disbelief. My first call for help was to John French of Elite Seamsless Gutters because I knew that he had recently expanded his business to include tree trimming services. John had his entire crew arrive the next morning at 8:30 for clean-up that would require them to work two consecutive 14 hours days to deal with all of the debris and damages from the Derecho. Unless you actual saw the size of these trees, you would have a hard time getting a grasp on how much work need to be done. Thankfully, John had all of the necessary equipment and manpower to get the job done and cleaned it up quickly. Three weeks later, our insurance adjuster finally arrived to assess the damages to the house. As you might expect, the estimate was somewhat low, and John worked tirelessly with my adjuster to point out several differences between what needed to be repaired and what was included in his insurance payout. As a homeowner, we would have never known to question what John found, and his efforts resulted in a significant increase in the insurance payout. The amount of repair and worked needed to be done was extensive and included replacing our roof, reattaching our chimney, repairing a section of our drive (damaged from an uprooted tree), replacing our siding and gutters, re-bracing the garage, and repairing a section of our privacy fence. We would need new window trim, soffit and facia. Since so much work needed to be completed, we accepted the reality that we would incur some additional costs to complete the project. I cannot begin to put into words how pleased we are with all of the work completed by Elite Seamless Gutters. Through nobody’s fault, John and his crew dealt with material and supply chain issues and other challenges associated with working during a historic pandemic. While these challenges extended the project, our job required an unbelievable amount of planning, preparation, customization, precision measuring, cutting and they really delivered! John’s entire crew at Elite Seamless Gutters was professional, courteous, and does top-notch work, but a few of them deserve a special shout out from us: Harley (tree removal), Kenny, (foreman) Billy (roof), Viz (siding), and Erick (electrical). You guys are the best! Thank you, Elite Seamless Gutters and John and Sara French, for restoring and significantly improving the appearance of our home. We hope that we never need any additional work done to our home, but you should know that we would not hesitate to hire you again and encourage anyone in need of home repair to do the same."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

The cost varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the tree, location, accessibility, whether or not the stump is also being removed, and other environmental factors.

Answered by Elan Flores at Flores Artscape in Los Angeles, CA on 01/07/25


Each tree is different, and costs can vary widely based on factors including tree size, hardness of wood, difficulties caused by location of the tree and proximity to nearby structures and objects, inherent risk involved in specific removals (e.g. rotten sections of trunk), requirements of dealing with municipalities and local governments for tree removal permits, and the methods employed by the tree worker to remove your tree. 

A single tree could cost as low as $100 to remove or $10,000 dollars or more depending on these factors. It is also important to keep in mind that many companies have a minimum price to come out and do work or even give quotes.

Removal of trees costs about $1,500 to $3,000, on average.

  1. If there are no online reviews, ask them for referrals. If a tree removal company is reputable, you won't be their first client. It's perfectly acceptable to ask for references on your initial call, and if a removal company won't provide referrals, it's time to move on.

  2. Find out what equipment they use. Some types of tree removal equipment are better than others, and a removal company might need special tools to get your particular job done. On your first conversation with a prospective removal company, make sure that you clearly express the nature of the job you want accomplished and receive assurances that the company has the proper equipment. 

  3. Consider all of the costs. Always ask for an estimate up-front. Inquire about the job itself and any potential hidden fees that you might not be aware of.

First, get references. Be sure to ask about their history and how long they have been in business.

How many years of total service in the industry.

Answered by Daniel Humphrey at Skyview Tree Solutions in Jasper, IN on 01/30/25

To have a fallen tree removed near your home, you can expect to pay between $100 to $500. Your local tree removal professional will most likely just need to cut and remove the tree from your property, but factors like the size of the tree and its trunk diameter impact this cost. In addition, there will be an extra cost to fill in the hole left by the tree, and while you have your tree removal specialist on-site, it might be worth it to have them inspect the other trees in your yard for potential damage. Trees that have fallen onto your home or another structure, will likely be more costly to remove.

The minimum cost is $500 to $1,000, as disposal of tree debris is between $200 and $300 per load.

Answered by Jeff Searles at Lakeshore Tree Care in Chanhassen, MN on 01/08/25


Costs can range from $500 up to $2,000, on average. It depends on the size of the tree, the location, accessibility, if there are hazardous conditions surrounding the tree and the environment, and if other work is being done on the property along with fallen tree removal.

Answered by Elan Flores at Flores Artscape in Los Angeles, CA on 01/07/25


It really depends on if it's just lying on the ground or if it fell on a structure. The cost could be anywhere from $500 to $10,000. There's a wide price range because some fallen trees are really easy to remove, while others are very difficult and require a crane.

Answered by Kenneth Kirlin at Carolina Tree Trimmers LLC in Summerville, SC on 01/06/25


You can expect to pay about $1,000 to $4,000 to have a fallen tree removed. Trees that have fallen require more labor to remove than one that's standing.

Answered by Jeremiah Erickson at Chameleon Property Services LLC in Albany, NY on 01/13/25

Budget over $1,500 if you need a tree removed from your yard that’s larger than 80 feet. Large tree removal is a significant project that requires a crane, and the overall price will increase if the tree is close to your house. Typically, smaller trees can cost as low as $8 per foot to remove, while larger trees (over 80 feet) can cost at least $15 per foot.
