Size

Location
A tree out in the open, without any risk to potentially damage property structure, power lines, etc., will be easier to remove and require less, or even no, equipment.  A tree near property structure and/or power lines will have to be removed more carefully driving up labor costs as well as potentially equipment costs, such as a bucket truck.  

Species
​Single trunked trees are easier to removed than multi-trunk trees.  This is because multi-trunked trees tend to lean around from the central axis of the tree making removal potentially more complex.  

Dead or Alive
