Tree Removal Cost Summary

Price range = $150 to $1,500+ Average cost = $500-$1000 Best/cheapest price = $150

In this guide, we will show you how much it costs to have a variety of tree types removed from your property. The first thing you need to know is that theres no cut-and-dry way to determine how much it will cost to remove a tree, so these are meant to serve as guidelines for your needs. For example, the complexity of the job and the height of the tree are just two factors that determine what the total price will be. Tree removal costs may also vary a lot depending on the condition of the tree as well as its exact location. With the following information, you should be able to get a good idea about how much it will cost to have a tree removed from your property.

There are many different levels of service available when removing a tree, but a few basic pieces are usually included. Obviously, the tree will be need to be chopped down. Typically, the contractor will also have to rope down pieces of the tree by climbing the tree and cutting it into more manageable sizes. In many cases, it may also be hauled away at no extra charge (or this is included in the estimate).

Some people want more than a basic tree removal service. For example, if the price doesnt include hauling away tree limbs, you may have to pay extra for limb removal. Tree limb removal costs vary, but it is usually between $50 and $75.

Additional services that may be added on for an extra fee include:

Now that you have a feel for what the little extras are going to cost, you are probably wondering how much youll actually have to pay to have the tree removed. This will largely depend on the size of the tree:

There is no realistic way for an average homeowner to safely remove a large tree from his or her property. You definitely dont want to attempt this type of job yourself. One thing to be aware of right away is that its going to be expensive. The total cost of the job is calculated based on a number of different factors. If the workers have to climb really high and rope down many pieces before actually felling the tree, which is usually the case with extremely tall trees, the total bill is going to be quite high. As noted above, you could pay $1,500 or more for that level of service. It may be worth it to try to have a few small extras thrown in for free, but not all companies are willing to do so.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - "My crews were actually out til 10:30 last night removing trees," Matt Shaw with Capital City Tree Service explains.

Tree removal companies have been busy for the past few days. The most recent ice storm left several Arkansans with uprooted and downed trees.

Terry James of James Tree Service says, "Once root rot has set in the tree becomes unstable and then it'll take a storm like in the spring or an ice storm and then bam you've got a problem-you've got a tree on a house."

That's exactly what happened to this home in Maumelle. Downed trees and some left leaning in a very dangerous position.

Matt Shaw of Capital City Tree says, "Preventative maintenance is always a good thing to do on your trees. It never hurts to have your trees inspected."

Terry James shows THV a piece of fungus. It is called gendarme and it is a sign that your tree may need to go.

He explains, "Right down here at the base you will see gendarme growing all around the roots that have rotted and decayed."

In the case of our unpredictable Arkansas weather, tree experts say it is better to be safe than sorry.

Taking preventative measures for trees before the next winter storm

The Garfield Board of Education voted down a resolution that would start a bidding process for the district's landscaping, snow and tree removal.

Business Administrator and Board Secretary Dr. Edward Izbicki said currently the work is being done in house by two custodians. Izbicki said after the meeting that it was a matter of the amount of work and how large the district's facilities are for two people to handle. He said the resolution would have gotten competitive prices and to see what else is out there.

Before the resolution came to a vote, board member Anthony Barckett made a motion to table it so there could be further discussion instead of the resolution failing. The motion to table until the next meeting didn't pass.

The majority of the board either voted no or abstained on the resolution, resulting in it failing.

The resolution recommended by the superintendent of schools and assistant superintendent of finance/board secretary, was to approve Edvocate, a consulting company, services for managing the invitation for bid process of the district's landscape, snow and tree removal. The resolution was for $5,000 for the proposed services.

Board member Elizabeth Gray said she couldn't vote in favor of the resolution because she is against privatization that could take away jobs from residents. Board member Jeffrey Stewart said he wants to talk with the director of facilities, the union and superintendent, who was absent from the meeting, to see if the impact could be positive or negative.

Sprinkler System 2 - Video

Cold temperatures are causing problems at Rapid City's Famous Dave's.

Pipes in the sprinkler system froze overnight, causing them to burst.

Damage to the Rapid City restaurant was limited but it did require an extensive early morning cleanup.

Famous Dave's Manager Bruce Carr said this isn't the first time this winter or even this week frozen pipes have caused problems.

"It's happened three times this year. Once in November and twice this week, back-to-back. Inconvenient, because I've got to get up in the middle of the night and then come in to work later in the day," said Carr.

Since Jan. 1 the Rapid City Fire Department has responded to numerous frozen pipe incidents, 15 of which were sprinkler system pipes that froze due to cold weather exposure.

Here are some tips:

During periods of extreme cold regularly inspect your home or business automatic fire sprinkler system, ensuring designed features such as heat and insulation are maintained.

- Ensure that insulation is in place to protect piping next to exterior walls, in attics, or any areas not directly heated by the main heating system.

- Keep the building temperature a minimum of 45 degrees to prevent pipes from freezing.
