What moves the price
- Height and trunk diameter
- Distance to the house, fences and utility lines
- Dead or diseased wood that is brittle and risky to climb
- Access for a bucket truck or crane versus climbing by hand
- Cleanup, hauling and stump grinding
- Emergency or storm conditions
How to compare quotes
Ask each company for the scope in writing: how many trees, what is hauled, whether stumps are ground and whether insurance is current. A very low bid with no insurance can cost far more if something is damaged.
