The most important factor in determining the overall cost of a project is the tree's size. Large trees pose more safety and risk than small ones. Tall trees will require arborists to use special equipment. The risk of injury is higher, so the cost will also be higher.
The cost to remove the stump from its roots and any associated costs will vary depending on how long it takes and how complex the root system is. The cost of stump grinding, where a hydraulic machine removes the stump from some of its roots and mulches it, is usually $100-$400. You can rent a stump grinder at a hardware store to remove the stump. These machines are best for small-diameter stumps.
Trees that are less than 30 feet high are considered small. Removing a small tree usually costs $150 to $500. Many fruit trees as well, like hawthornes (or silver birches), are small.
You might be able to pay per acreage if you live near a forest and wish to cut multiple trees. You might pay $500-$2,500 for a lightly-wooded area, while a more densely populated area may cost $3,000-$6,000 per annum.
Keep in mind that dead, dying, or infected branches can be removed at any time throughout the year. Also, branches that pose a safety risk should be removed as soon as possible.
Winter is generally the best season to trim deciduous tree branches. In winter, most deciduous trees go into dormancy and will not grow again until the spring. This is an ideal time for branches to be removed, as they will grow new growth in spring.
A majority of homeowners look to have trees removed as part of larger landscaping projects, with the exception being emergency tree removal. Tree removal companies may offer other services. A company can be hired to handle a complete project rather than breaking it down into smaller jobs.
Tree trimming and pruning differ based on how they are used. Pruning refers to the removal or reduction of hazardous branches. This process encourages growth. Tree trimming involves the removal of overgrown branches. Tree trimming can be used to increase the tree's ability to receive more sunlight and moisture.
Each tree can be either an asset, or a liability. A professional tree risk assessment may uncover a potential problem - such as a tree that is diseased beyond repair or damaged. In these cases, tree removal or tree cutting might be necessary.
