Tree trimming and tree pruning are an important part of owning property. Unfortunately so is removing that same vegetation if it becomes unhealthy or gets so overgrown it is posing a danger to your home or your family. Sometimes cutting it back is not enough and it needs to be removed. If this is the case for you, there are numerous things you need to think about. Calling in a specialist is the best way to take care of things. The specialist will determine the species, the problems, and the health of the existing growth. Once these determinations are made, you can ask for a quote for the cost of removal. It can be extremely expensive, depending on the circumstances. Homeowners should expect to pay anywhere from two hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a removal.
The classification is the most important part of determining the price. There are usually four different categories and each offer a different price range. A small growth is usually less than 30 feet tall. This is the cheapest type of removal and rarely costs more than five hundred dollars to complete. The medium growth ranges up to about 60 feet in height. These can cost anywhere up to a thousand dollars to remove, but could be as little as just a few hundred dollars. Ones that are between 60 and 80 feet are large and typically cost around a thousand dollars for removal.
The biggest type of growth is that ranging from 80 feet and up. This is going to be the most expensive type to remove. If it is still alive, you need to do all you can to avoid removal? It will probably cost close to a thousand dollars for removal and could be as much as fifteen hundred. It will also be the most devastating type of growth to remove. Unless a growth this tall is diseased or dying, do your best to avoid removal.
Another consideration is the location of the growth. This is going to affect the cost just as much as the height does. That is why the height variation is so wide, because much of the issue depends on where you will be working. When the area is surrounded by expensive property, there is more caution that needs to be taken during the removal process. This is going to up the cost of things.
Finally, keep in mind there is more to removal than just chopping down the growth. Once the felling process is complete, you still need to handle clean up. Usually the debris can be cut down for a relatively love price, but when you are dealing with several feet worth of wood that needs to be cleaned up, it is going to add a great deal to the cost of things. Stump removal will also be necessary and will be an additional cost. To have a stump ground usually cost another five hundred dollars or more because additional equipment is needed for the job.
