While trees are nice to look at, and they certainly enhance most landscapes, there are times when its necessary to consider having them removed. Whether they fall and damage your property, they are standing dead, the tree is leaning in the wrong direction or some other hazard, its important to consider getting the tree removed before it can cause damage to your property or someone on it.

This guide takes a close look at the cost to remove standing trees from property and how much extras like stump removal and log splitting will add to the original price, being $700 the average cost to remove a standing medium tree (30-60 feet).

The height of the tree that needs to be removed has a major impact on the overall cost. For standing small trees (up to 30 feet)such as a Russian Olive or a Dogwood, the average removal cost is $100-$450. To cut down medium trees (from 30 to 60 feet) such as a Black Alder1 and a Crabapple the cost is between $200 and $1000 on average, with most services charging in the middle between $350 and $600 for standard sized trees that arent in difficult locations.

Professionals normally bring the tree down to a stump, haul away, or at least chip, the small branches and cut the trunk into small sections. All instruments and machinery needed for the removal are included in the price. Getting the pieces removed will cost an additional $50 to $100 for standard sized trees. Having just the limbs of the tree removed and the trunk left in place typically costs between $50 and $75.
