"Loved these guys. First off, I am a DIY guy, and I do not like hiring people to do work. They never do it the way I would. This does not apply to Koala Tree Care. They responded to my request quickly. Showed up 5 min early to do the quote. Showed up 10 min early to do the work. My kind of people. I had 8 large trees to be taken care of and 1 tree removal. All trees in the 20-25 foot range. Before the work started we talked about each tree and what they were looking to do to it. Then I was asked if I was ok with it or if not, what I wanted to do. I was the customer and could direct them if I wanted to do something different. Then they did the work and if necessary asked questions on the fly. They assumed nothing when it came to my property even asking if they could raise the umbrella on the picnic table they sat at to have lunch. It was a hot day and the umbrella would provide some shade. During the work they accidentally broke a sprinkler because it sticks up high off the ground. They did not hide that and came to me saying that it happened and that they would fix it and they did, we even tested it to make sure that it was done correctly. I mean accidents do happen and they took responsibility and corrected it quickly. I do not give 5 stars easily but these guys were great from the initial meeting all the way to the end. I will be hiring them again when I need to do my trees again in 2-3 year. I would recommend them."

"Had to reschedule due to weather. Two large trees trimmed and shaped; needed to be topped, but we didn't want the curb appeal ruined for this season. Job was done well with trimmings stacked neatly, on the day before our street pickup."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to take down a tree?

The average price of removing a tree ranges between $400 and $2,000. Small trees up to 75 feet high typically cost $1,000 or less, while those above 75 feet range up to $1,800 and more. Foliage condition of and access also factor into that range.

  • Stump removal: $50 - $300
  • Limb chipping: $65 - $150
  • Trunk removal: $40 - $120
  • Firewood log splitting: $50 - $100

Does homeowner's insurance cover tree removal?

Home insurance only covers tree removal if it's already fallen and has caused damage. General yard maintenance, like pruning branches or removing a dying tree, is not included in most policies. If you have a fallen tree on your property, check with your insurance company to see if it covers the price to remove it.

Should I remove a tree close to my house?

You should remove a tree that's closer than 10 to 15 feet to your home because it can pose major problems. The roots can damage your foundation and pipes. If it falls, the chance of damage to your home is significant.

Removing a tree that close to your home requires extra care and planning. You have to make sure that no parts of your home or roof are in jeopardy. Most professionals recommend extracting the roots as well as the trunk and limbs.

What questions should I ask tree removal companies?

  • Can you provide up-to-date certification and insurance?
  • What are your credentials and how long have you been in business?
  • Do you have a certified arborist on staff?
  • Do you have references that I can check before committing to a contract?

  • Will this job require a permit or HOA clearance?
  • Do you expect any upfront payment before the work begins?
