Straightforward tree service pricing
No mystery numbers. Here are honest price ranges for common jobs in Northeast Ohio — plus an estimator you can play with.
Why two trees can cost very different amounts
- Size and species. Taller, wider trees and dense hardwoods take more time and equipment.
- Location. A tree in an open field is simpler than one hanging over a roof, a pool or power lines.
- Access. If we can't get a truck or lift close, more work is done by hand and rope.
- Condition. Dead or decayed trees can't always be climbed and may need a lift or crane.
- Cleanup choices. Keeping the firewood or chips lowers the price.

Common pricing questions
How soon can you start?
Small jobs are often scheduled within one to two weeks. Larger removals and land clearing depend on weather and ground conditions. Storm damage on structures is handled with priority.
How do you price a job?
Price depends on the size and condition of the tree, how close it is to buildings or lines, how easy it is to get equipment in, and how much cleanup you want. Our written estimate lists each item so there are no surprises.
Do you require a deposit?
Most residential jobs need no deposit. For large projects (over $5,000) or crane work, we ask for a 25% deposit to reserve equipment. See our Payment & Cancellation Policy for details.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Check, cash, and major credit or debit cards. Payment is due when the job is finished and you've had a chance to look it over.
