Tree Service Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

Total spent: $2,000. Three large, mature trees, all near or extending over the house. Two of the three trees over the power and cable lines to the house. Power and cable lines were damaged as a consequence of the tree work.

Got a couple of quotes ranging from 2500 to 6500 for taking down 2 live pines, 2 dead pines, and one massive 145' tall pine. Best quote was at 400 per tree and 1000 for the big tree. I was pleased with their efficiency and the pine mulch they let me keep.

Neighbors had some live oaks nicely trimmed for $50 a tree by these guys and recommended them. Our trees are quite a bit bigger and have never had a good thinning, so they asked for $150 a tree, but accepted $125. This price did not include haul-off - they stacked on curb for the city's monthly bulk waste pickup.

This man and his 2 co-workers did a fantastic Job! They did all 6 palm trees in my front yard, and cleaned up the whole mess within 4 hours!

This guy were not bad at all. The job is done, and no damages resulted. I could note the experience in the contractor which I need to hear when services charge bottom market rates. I was told $300 per day.

Pine tree uprooted in storm was leaning on electrical wires. They cut tree down, ground the stump. For $50 more trimmed dogwood that hung over the fence.

This company did an excellent job, i have used them before and quality is great. Hauled and cleaned the area nicely.

Some guy on Craigslist is paying 100.00 to remove his dead cedar tree from his property. He wants it cut down and hauled away for 100.00. I Emailed him and told him that I would "make it fall on his property for 100 bux" He wondered why he was getting such high estimates.

Qoute for complete job. cut and haul away debris. Work still to come next week.

We had several large evergreens removed from around the house, it was nice having a tree expert proform the work. Ichabods Tree Experts in Westminster Maryland www.ichabodstree.com

Remember that Tree Care is truly a service that falls into the category of "you get what you pay for". Licensed and Insured companies do cost a little more than the door knockers, but the difference in service can be priceless. Tree work is dangerous and only a trained professional should be allowed on your property. The best way to get a competitive bid is to get at least 3 bids from competing licensed companies. Look on the web.

We discussed removing the 3 broken branches and 'tipping' the lower branches. They cut everthing away from the lower half. Very unhappy. negotiated paying $1,000. Still very high.

trimmed dead branches

Pruning of 3 Silver Maples: $950 for the whole job. Trees are located near a fairly busy street and will have some deadwood removed.

We have a Washingtonia robusta palm in front of our house -- the tall, thin, common kind. It's around 30' tall. It looks a little bad because the last 10' has a thick, curled-up, shrub-like gray husk from where the palm fronds used to be. We've asked a few tree pruning services, and every one has quoted $300 to prune the palm. They claim it's so expensive because the tree is so tall and they have to specially dispose of palm tree leaves.
