ISA Certified Arborists
Most network pros employ ISA Certified Arborists, the industry standard for diagnosing tree health, disease, and structural risk before deciding to prune or remove.
Fully Insured
Every contractor in our network carries active liability insurance ($1M plus) and workers comp, critical for any work involving climbers, chainsaws, and falling limbs.
Emergency Response
Most network pros offer 24/7 emergency response for storm damage, fallen trees on homes, and broken limbs blocking driveways or power lines.
Cleanup Included
Most quotes include full removal of branches, debris, and wood chips. Confirm in writing whether you want the wood split for firewood or hauled away entirely.

Tree Care Protects The Whole Property
Prevent Property Damage
A fallen tree on a home averages $11,000 to $35,000 in damage per insurance industry data. Proactive removal of dead or leaning trees often costs less than the deductible alone.
Strong Resale Value
Mature healthy trees add 7% to 19% to home value per US Forest Service research. Strategic pruning and removal of hazard trees protects this value rather than risking it.
Lower Energy Bills
Properly placed shade trees can cut summer cooling costs 15% to 30% per Department of Energy research, while strategic pruning preserves the canopy that delivers those savings.
Insurance Protection
Documented tree pruning by an ISA Certified Arborist often shifts liability away from the homeowner if a healthy tree falls in a storm, preserving insurance coverage and rates.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Tree removal pricing scales with height and difficulty. Small trees under 30 feet run $350 to $900. Mid-size trees 30 to 60 feet run $900 to $2,000. Large trees over 60 feet run $1,800 to $4,000. Trees near power lines, structures, or fences add 25% to 50% because of crane or rigging requirements. Stump grinding is usually quoted separately at $200 to $500 per stump unless bundled into the removal.
Trim if the tree is healthy with isolated dead branches, crossing limbs, or canopy that needs thinning. Trimming costs $300 to $750 per visit and should happen every 3 to 5 years for mature trees. Remove if the tree is dead, more than 50% diseased, leaning toward a structure, or has structural cracks in the trunk. An ISA Certified Arborist can diagnose for $100 to $300 and is worth getting before deciding on a $2,000 plus removal.
After a storm with limbs touching power lines, tilted trees, or trees on homes, call within 1 to 2 hours. Most network pros offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. While you wait, evacuate the affected area, do not attempt to move the tree, and call your insurance to start the claim. Emergency rates run 50% to 100% above standard pricing because of after-hours crews and risk premiums, but the alternative is more damage.
Not always, but usually recommended. Stump grinding at $200 to $500 prevents pest infestation, sprouting suckers, and the trip hazard from a stump in your lawn. Grinding goes 4 to 12 inches below grade, leaving wood chips you can use as mulch or backfill with soil. Full stump removal including the root ball costs 2 to 3 times more and is only needed if you plan to plant another tree or build over the spot.
Most policies cover tree damage to your home, garage, or fence from sudden storms, with average claim payouts of $11,000 to $35,000. Removal of the fallen tree is typically covered up to $500 to $1,500. Insurance generally does not cover preventive removal of a healthy or dead tree before damage occurs, so homeowners pay out of pocket for that. Document any concerning trees with photos and an arborist report to support future claims if needed.
Late winter through early spring (January through March) is the slowest season for most tree services and prices run 10% to 25% below peak. It is also the best biological time to prune most species since they are dormant. Avoid heavy pruning in late spring during peak sap flow and avoid summer pruning of oaks because of oak wilt disease. Emergency removals of damaged or hazard trees should never wait for a season.
Confirm ISA Certified Arborist on staff, $1M plus liability insurance, and active workers compensation coverage. Verify cleanup terms in writing, including whether wood is hauled away, split for firewood, or chipped on-site. Ask about traffic control if work is near a road, and whether the contractor pulls necessary permits in your municipality. Avoid any tree pro who solicits door-to-door after a storm without proof of insurance and references.
