"The crew arrived promptly on time to begin work. I was impressed with their professional approach in thinning the tree branches, reducing the canopy density, shaping the tree, and allowing more light and visibility through the trees. I was allowed to keep some of the tree chipping to use for garden mulch. Finally, the crew freely offered advice for future trimming and removal."

"Long overdue review for a great job clearing out years of overgrown brush and trees from the side and back of our house. The meadow behind us is visible now and it’s much more enjoyable to watch the wildlife mill about than staring at untended trees and overgrown brush. Will reach out again whenever we need landscaping help again. "

"Geoffrey and his team did a great job listening to our desires and translating them into a front wall, planters and storage area with lighting and drip system that complements the existing 100 year old house. He was patient as we went through a few design iterations until we had an executable plan that worked well in the space and met our needs. His team does quality work and the worksite was left clean and secure each day. Focusing on native plantings is a big plus. Getting complements from the neighbors too!"

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.

  • 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 you provide a detailed written estimate?
  • Will this job require a permit or HOA clearance?
  • Do you expect any upfront payment before the work begins?
  • What equipment will you use to cut down and remove the tree?
  • How long will the job take?
  • What safety precautions will your crew take to protect themselves and my home?
