When a tree has to come down, it should come down safely, cleanly, and for a price you agreed to up front.
Bare branches in summer, peeling bark, mushrooms at the base, or a trunk that's starting to split.
Cracked limbs, a new lean, or roots lifting after a storm — these get worse, not better.
Overhanging the roof, crowding power lines, or roots threatening a foundation, driveway, or sewer line.
Renovations, additions, pools, and fences sometimes need the space a tree is standing in.
Most residential removals run $300 to $4,500+, with a typical mid-size tree landing around $800-$1,500. Price is driven by four things:
Height and trunk diameter set the crew time and equipment needed.
A backyard tree with no truck access takes more manual work than an open front yard.
Dead, rotten, or leaning trees near structures need rigging and extra care.
Haul-away, wood removal, and stump grinding are priced in or added — your quote spells it out.
The crew sections the tree down piece by piece, lowering limbs with ropes when there's anything below worth protecting. Wood and brush are chipped or hauled away, and the area is raked clean. If you want firewood left behind, just say so in the quote form.
It depends. London has rules around trees on City property and boulevards, and some properties have protected or distinctive trees. Part of your quote includes flagging whether a permit or City approval applies to your tree before work starts.
The stump is cut low by default. Most homeowners add stump grinding so the area can be replanted or sodded right away.
Trees touching or near service lines need special handling and sometimes coordination with the utility. Mention it in the quote form and it will be assessed first — safety comes before speed.
