Miley Tree LLC Tree Removal Cost Guide: What Homeowners Need to Know in 2025
Are you a homeowner facing the difficult decision of removing a tree from your property? Whether it’s due to storm damage, disease, or a landscaping project, understanding tree removal costs is essential for budgeting this significant expense.
In 2025, tree removal costs typically range between $800 and $2,140, with most homeowners paying around $1,500. However, prices can vary dramatically based on several key factors that our interactive calculator helps you assess.
Key Factors That Impact Tree Removal Costs
Tree Size and Dimensions
The size of your tree is the single most influential factor in determining removal costs:
Small Trees (under 30 feet): $300–$1,000
Medium Trees (30–60 feet): $900–$2,400
Large Trees (60–80 feet): $1,800–$4,000
Extra Large Trees (over 80 feet): $2,400–$6,000+
Tree diameter also plays a critical role – thicker trunks require more cutting, equipment, and labor, regardless of height. A shorter tree with a wide trunk may cost more to remove than a taller, narrow one.
For example: Large oak trees (60–80 feet) typically cost $1,800–$4,000, while medium pines (30–50 feet) average $900–$2,400.
Accessibility Factors
The location and accessibility of your tree can increase costs by 25–75%:
Proximity to structures: Trees within 10 feet of a home or building require specialized rigging techniques to prevent damage.
Back yard locations: Trees in back yards may cost 50–75% more because debris must be carried out manually.
Limited access points: Narrow gates or passageways require manual removal instead of machinery.
Equipment accessibility: If equipment like mini skid steers cannot reach the tree, labor costs increase.
Overhead utility lines: Trees near power lines complicate removal and may require coordination with utility companies.
Tree Species and Condition
Different tree species present unique removal challenges:
Hardwoods (oak, maple, hickory): Dense wood that’s harder to cut, costing 30–40% more.
Pines: Generally easier to remove but may have extensive branching patterns.
Tulip Poplars: Tall and straight, often requiring specialized equipment.
Trees that are dead, diseased, or storm-damaged often cost 50–100% more to remove due to unpredictability and safety risks.
Additional Services and Costs
The base removal price usually doesn’t include these add-ons:
Stump grinding: $200–$500 depending on diameter
Complete debris cleanup/removal: $150–$500
Log splitting for firewood: $140–$300
Permit fees: $60–$150 (varies by county/city)
Arborist reports: $300–$600 if required by HOAs or municipalities
Seasonal Pricing Considerations
The most cost-effective time for tree removal is typically winter (December–February) when trees are dormant and demand is lower. Off-season scheduling can save homeowners 10–15% on total costs.
Late summer and fall tend to have the highest tree removal prices due to storm season demand.
DIY vs. Professional Tree Removal
While DIY tree removal might seem like a way to save money, it comes with serious risks:
Safety hazards: Falls, equipment injuries, unpredictable tree behavior
Property damage: To homes, underground utilities, or neighboring properties
Equipment costs: Rentals can be $250–$500 per day
HOA and permit issues: Some communities require approvals
Liability issues: Insurance may not cover DIY accidents
For trees over 15–20 feet, professional removal is strongly recommended. Miley Tree LLC has the training, equipment, insurance, and knowledge to handle removals safely and efficiently.
