Prices from 15 Georgia tree services
This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A tree crew usually climbs the tree or works from a bucket truck, cuts off the limbs, then takes the trunk down in sections, lowering each piece by rope when there is anything below to protect. In open ground with room to fall, the tree may be cut at the base and felled in one piece. The crew then chips the brush and cuts up or hauls the wood.
Removal ends at the stump. Stump grinding is the next step if you want the spot level with the lawn, and it has its own page. Trimming is a different job again: the tree stays, and only some branches come off.
When a tree is already down on the house or across the driveway, the work becomes emergency removal, which has no Georgia range here yet.
What moves the price
- Heavy hardwood
- Dense hardwoods are heavier to lower and haul than softer wood, so a big oak can cost more to take down than a pine of a similar height.
- Several trees at once
- Taking down more than one tree in a visit usually lowers the price per tree, since the crew and equipment are already on site.
- Keeping the wood
- Leaving the logs on the property can cost less than hauling them away, though some crews charge to cut them to firewood length.
- Soft or wet ground
- Wet ground can keep heavy equipment off the lawn, which means more work by hand or mats laid down to protect the yard.
- Power lines nearby
- A tree touching or close to power lines may need the utility involved before a crew can work, and many crews will not cut near the lines until then. Ask who arranges it.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each tree service before you compare prices:
- Will you take the tree down in sections or fell it whole, and why?
- Is grinding the stump included, and if not, what would it cost on the same visit?
- Do you haul away all of the logs and brush, or leave anything behind?
- Can you show proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- Will you need a lift or a crane for this tree, and is that in the price?
- Would the price per tree drop if you removed another tree the same day?
