How much does a tree removal cost?
Most tree removal projects in the US fall between $400 – $4,500. Where yours lands depends on a handful of things — that's exactly what the calculator above asks about, then it adjusts for labor and material costs in your ZIP code.
What drives the price
- Height and trunk diameter — bigger trees mean more climbing, cutting and hauling.
- Anything the tree could hit (house, fence, power lines) means lowering it piece by piece.
- Dead and storm-damaged trees are less predictable and riskier to climb.
- Backyard access: if a bucket truck or chipper can't get close, it takes longer.
- Emergency, same-day work usually costs more.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to cut down a big tree?
A 60–80 ft tree usually costs $1,200–$2,200 to remove in an open yard. Near a house or power lines that can climb past $3,000.
Is stump grinding included?
Not usually. Most companies price it separately, about $120–$700 per stump depending on size. This calculator adds it when you select it.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
Often only when a tree falls on a covered structure. Removing a healthy or dead standing tree is normally out of pocket.
