What Affects the Price
- Tree height, trunk diameter, and species (hardwoods take longer)
- Proximity to houses, fences, pools, and power lines
- Lean direction and structural condition (dead, split, storm-damaged)
- Yard access for trucks, chippers, and cranes
- Whether wood and brush are hauled away or left for firewood
- Stump grinding, log cutting, or full site cleanup add-ons
- Emergency vs. scheduled work (24/7 response is priced higher)
Emergency Storm Removal
After a Capital Region storm, trees on homes, garages, cars, or power lines need a fast, insured response. Emergency removal is priced higher than scheduled work because of after-hours crew call-outs, rigging complexity, and risk. If a tree is on your home, most homeowners insurance policies cover removal — we provide the photos and documentation your adjuster needs. See our 24/7 emergency storm cleanup page for details.
How to Get an Accurate Estimate
The fastest way to get a firm price is to send us a few photos and your address. Include one wide shot showing the tree relative to the house or fence, and a close-up of the trunk. We usually respond the same day with a price range — no in-person visit required for most jobs.
