The most significant factor that influences the price you’ll pay for tree care services is the specific service you require. We’ll share basic price ranges for some of our most popular services below.
$500 to $6,000+
Tree removal costs vary based on the size, species, and condition of the tree, as well as other factors, such as the equipment needed and accessibility of the site.
$500 to $2,500+
Minor trimming work on a hedge or small tree requires less time and fewer resources than trimming a large oak or maple, which is reflected in the price you’ll pay.
$150 to $800+
The primary factor that determines the cost of stump grinding is the size of the stump, but the number of stumps being removed and the site conditions also play a role.
$4,500 to $15,000+
Removing large or hazardous trees often requires the assistance of a crane, meaning the work will often cost more than removals carried out by climbers or bucket trucks.
$2,000 to $20,000+
Because they often take place after normal business hours or during inclement weather and may require the assistance of a crane, emergency removals typically cost more than scheduled work.
$500 to $2,000+
We offer a wide range of plant health care (PHC) services, and the costs vary significantly based on the products and application methods necessary.
$250 to $1,000+
The costs associated with formal tree risk assessments and arboricultural consultations vary based on the scope of the work and overall project goals.
$500 and $2,500+
Used to fortify weak branch attachments or split stems, cabling and bracing costs vary with the size of the tree and complexity of the support system required.
$2,500 and $12,000+ per acre
Lot clearing prices vary significantly based on the type of vegetation (grasses and shrubs vs. mature hardwoods) present and overall accessibility of the site.
No two tree care projects are exactly the same, and subtle differences between trees, sites, and projects can often trigger significant pricing differences.
A few of the most important factors that’ll go into determining the costs of your specific project include the following.
Different tree species present different challenges with respect to tree care. Some species have brittle wood, while others have dense canopies, weak branch attachments, or growth habits that make pruning and removal more complex.
Obviously, larger trees take more time and effort to prune or remove, which will raise the costs of the job. Exceptionally large trees may even require cranes and other heavy equipment, further raising the price.
It’s always easier and safer to prune or remove a tree that’s in good condition than one that’s in failing health or exhibiting structural concerns. This is part of the reason it’s always wise to address issues promptly.
Because there are costs associated with dispatching a crew to your property, you can sometimes enjoy lower per-tree costs when having a significant amount of work performed than you would for a one-off project.
The harder it is to get climbers, grounds crews, aerial lifts, and other heavy equipment to the tree, the higher the project costs are likely to be. This includes trees growing on steep terrain or in restricted access.
Trees that are leaning over homes, growing near power lines, or presenting similar challenges will often be more difficult and time-consuming to prune or remove. This will be reflected in the overall project costs.
Most homeowners in Western North Carolina can remove trees on private, residential properties without obtaining a permit. However, when needed, permits can raise the costs of a project.
No one wants to spend more than they have to on anything — including tree care services. Fortunately, there are a few relatively easy steps you can take to avoid unnecessary expenses and keep your tree care costs slightly lower.
Most tree care tasks only become more expensive over time, particularly for trees that are in failing health.
Simple things like providing supplemental water and covering the root zone with organic mulch can help support tree health and prevent some problems.
Whenever you combine multiple tree care jobs into one visit, you can usually reduce the per-tree costs.
By proactively supporting the health of your trees, you may be able to reduce the likelihood of costly removals.
Foregoing things like wood chipping and removal or stump grinding services is sometimes helpful for keeping costs low.
Expert guidance can help you avoid unnecessary work and support the long-term care of your trees.
