If you have to remove a dead tree, it will not cost as much as a stumped tree. An upright tree can pose a risk while a fall tree poses a lower risk.
The stump will normally be left in the ground as part of tree removal. If required, the stump may be removed. The task of stump removal can be complicated and require special machinery. This may be necessary if there is a risk to the landscape, or if it is an eyesore. The best and most secure way to do this is by hiring a professional stump grinder.
Keep in mind that not every tree care company or arborist will categorize your tree’s height the same way we have here. Some tree removal experts may define a small tree as under 25 feet tall or an extreme tree over 100 feet tall.

Most of the time, tree removal is best left to the professionals, as they have the proper equipment and training for both felling the tree and getting rid of it. If a tree is taller than 30 feet or within 10 feet of power lines, it’s absolutely not a DIY project—you could end up with fines, injuries, or even lawsuits if you attempt to remove a tree in these situations.
Trees that fall on your house or car unexpectedly or are leaned insecurely should be removed before they cause more damage. There will be a significant difference in the cost between a tree extraction you book a few months or days ahead and one you need as soon a possible.
The price of tree removal typically includes the removal and disposal costs of large branches and the trunk. There will be a lot more debris than you expected, so you might not want it to be thrown away. To make matters worse, hauling away debris is expensive and time-consuming if you aren't equipped to do it. Professional tree removal services can offer different ways to dispose of your debris, but they will charge an extra fee.
The tree removal prices listed above should give you a reasonable estimate of how much you can expect to spend on an average project or in extreme cases.

Safety is the main reason you may want to avoid this task. Another factor is your time. Tree trimming services are equipped with the right tools and equipment to get the job done quickly.
Finally, many areas require you to purchase a permit to remove a tree taller than 10 feet. While the cost of a permit is relatively low—approximately between $60 and $150—failing to get one before beginning work could net you a more substantial fine later in the process.
The final cost of the job will be affected by tree size, accessibility, health, and other factors. Would you like to have the stump ground, or have it removed? Additional fees will apply. These additional services can be added to the cost of professional tree cutting, which is typically between $385-$1,070 and $10-$14 per meter.

The other thing is that a tree that has actually fell, provided that it hasn’t caused an emergency or been damaged, will cost less than a real tree to be cut and removed. A tree trunk left on the ground makes it easier for tree crews to work with. As such, you'll pay only $100 to $300 to remove it from your land.
