Sourced installed range, not a quote

$300 to $1,600

Tree removal cost has an overall typical figure of $800, within a sourced range of $300 to $1,600. The ranges on this page come from two sources, Angi and HomeGuide. Tree height drives the price, because taller trees take more time and equipment. Use the figure as a starting budget, not a quote.

By tree height

Each row combines one range from each of the two sources. Angi lists cleanup as a separate item; HomeGuide does not say whether cleanup is included, and it shows its top figures with a plus sign.

Assumptions

  • Installed base: Overall typical range, no size selected.
  • Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
  • No applicable extras included.
  • Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
  • Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.

Where these numbers come from

The ranges come from two sources, Angi and HomeGuide. Their dates and scope notes are shown below. The checked date records when the dataset was reviewed, not a promise that prices are unchanged.

The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For two sources, the median is the mean of the pair. Typical is the median of the source midpoints. Derived figures round to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above it, with exact halves rounded up. The estimator selects its base bounds, adds applicable extras in full and rounds the final totals.
