How much does it cost to cut a 40 foot tree?

Many fruit trees are small, as are white thorns and silver birches. Small trees will be the easiest (and least expensive) to remove, and if you only want the tree removed from the property, you should only bring one person. The cost of pine and palm tree stumps is very different, so the size and type of tree are the two most important factors. The average cost of removing trees does not include a number of potential additional costs related to the diameter, condition and location of the tree.

Obviously, the average cost of removing a tree in San Francisco would be higher than in Fresno, even though both are in California. It will be necessary to establish the condition of the tree to determine the plan to remove it and the final costs. American ash, oak and maple are considered to be more difficult to remove than others and therefore cost more to remove. Local economies that have an inflated cost of living, as in most major cities, will demand higher prices for felling trees.

Tree removal costs vary widely depending on the height, the number of trees, the diameter of the trunks and the accessibility of the tree. But if your tree doesn't need to be removed immediately, cutting down a tree (or cutting down a fallen tree) between late winter and early spring may be the most convenient time. The diameter of a tree will also influence the cost of grinding stumps; a thicker trunk means a wider stump that is more difficult to remove. There's a little more information on why the prices are the same so you can get an idea of what it might cost to remove your small tree.

Some companies remove the fallen trunk from your tree at no additional cost, but be sure to check with the company before hiring them, not all companies will take it from your trunk. In general, cutting down a large tree has a significant cost, and less invasive options, such as pruning dead branches or treating diseases, may cost less than removing them. However, determining the type of tree can help provide a rough estimate of the height of the mature tree, helping to assess costs. If the stump is more than half a foot tall, the tree removal company will cut it almost to ground level before grinding the rest.
