If there is something about tree care and maintenance that you shouldn't tackle yourself, it is eliminating a tree. If you are not skilled and well-equipped, you shouldn't go to this part of tree maintenance. We always advise our clients to hire the best tree service company in the local town to ensure safe and efficient tree removal. Naturally, you will be concerned about the cost of tree removal, and that is understandable. You should be familiar with how much the average tree removal cost is to keep you from doing business with con artists and scammers. On average, you can spend as little as $130 or as high as $1500, depending on several factors that we will discuss here. 

Tree Sizes
The size of the tree is probably the most critical factor to consider when determining the cost of tree removal. Consider the following examples:

• Small trees not more than 30 feet- $120 to $500.
• Medium trees from 30 feet up to 60 feet- $170 to $1,000
• Large Trees from 60 feet to 80 feet- $450 to $1,200
• Extra Large Trees not more than 100 feet- $1,500 or more

Tree Trunk Diameter
Tree removal companies take the trunk's diameter into consideration when calculating the final cost of tree removal. As you have guessed, it is less taxing and easier to take down a tree with a narrower trunk compared to one with a wide trunk. The reason for this is apparent. The diameter of the tree is usually directly proportional to the tree's size, which means the larger the trunk diameter, the larger the entire tree is. A reputable tree company gets the diameter of the tree to come up with an accurate estimate for the tree removal service. The driving factors change, however, if you're removing a diseased or decayed tree.

What is included in the tree removal cost?
The total cost of tree removal includes the complete cutting down of the tree until it is only a stump. It is also inclusive of chipping of the small twigs and branches and hauling of the larger logs and woods. The tree company also includes the chopping of the trunk into smaller portions. You need to prepare extra cash for the following add-on services.

Stump Grinding- If you don't want to keep the stump in your yard, you will need stump grinding service. Stump grinding can cost you up to $300, depending on its size.

Branch Chipping and Hauling- You may need to pay extra for the tree company to haul branches and limbs. Most companies bill per hour, so you can expect to pay up to $150 for them to chip the chips and haul the branches away.

Hauling of Trunk Wood- You may be billed extra $300 or more to have the sections of the trunk hauled away. 

Wood Splitting- Tree care companies typically bring their wood splitting equipment with them when they cut down your tree. You may be required to pay an extra $100 to $200 for them to do this task for you.

 The thought of having a tree falls on your home is frightening. No matter what the size of the tree, it can still cause injury to any of your loved ones and result in property damage if it lands on your roof. Sadly, many trees topple during storms, and it causes stress for homeowners as well as safety issues for them. Keeping your cool in an emergency like this is hard. You may not know what to do precisely when there's a tree on your roof, and it is so easy to panic. This is why it is essential to have your trees inspected by a tree professional before and after a storm hits to ensure you and your home are safe.  We want to help you in this situation with these simple tips.

Leave the House as Soon as Possible
Don't stay inside your property for long. Leave the house as soon as you see it is safe. You and your loved ones could get hurt because of debris or get electrocuted due to exposed wiring from a downed power line. If your windows were broken, it would expose you to more danger, so it is best to leave while you still can. Don't forget to take all the necessary documents or items with you.

Call Emergency Personnel for Help If Necessary
If you are trapped inside your home or you feel unsafe, call 911 immediately. When a tree falls on your roof while there's a flood or high wind, it would not be safe to go out on your own. Trying to get out of the house on your own may not be the best idea because you don't know what to expect outside. There may be a hanging branch that you can't see from inside; that is why asking help from other personnel is necessary. Although it can be hard to stay patient in this situation, you have to wait patiently for help and avoid driving on your own during extreme weather. Keep yourself updated on what's going on by following the local news on your emergency radio or phone.

Schedule a Tree Removal Service
Once you are sure of your safety and you know the condition of your home and entire property, that's the time you should call a tree removal service. Don't attempt to clean up the area because there can be wirings that you don't notice that can harm you. A tree removal company will have the proper equipment necessary for removing the tree from your property, along with all the debris, and dangerous materials around.

Contact Your Insurance Company to Repair Property Damage
Make sure to contact your home insurance company for the repair of the damages in your property including your windows, roof, walls, and other parts of your house. Call them right away to begin the restoration process immediately. Don't let your home be exposed for too long because it can lead to other issues such as mold growth, pests, and water issues.
 

​There are several types of tree services offered for your tree maintenance. These services are common not only in residential areas but also in commercial areas. Tree services are done to keep your tree healthy and to make them more appealing, but they can also be done to ensure you and your property's safety from the possible damage trees can bring. Here are two of the most common tree services offered by tree service companies:
​

Tree removal is not always recommended because as much as possible, saving your tree is the top priority of tree service companies. However, there are times when they can no longer be restored due to a disease. It can also be posing danger to you and your property that is why removing it is the best option to take. Dead trees can be easily uprooted during inclement weather that is why they should be removed right away.

If you do not know what tree service you need, consult professional and certified arborists to assist you.
​

Tree trimming can help a lot in keeping the health of your tree in check. This can be done due to a nearby electric line or a building or house. If the tree poses danger, then it should be trimmed to prevent bad things from happening. Also, thinning branches or limbs can help increase your tree's health.
​
The tree service company should inspect the tree before deciding what action to take for your tree. A professional tree service can determine the presence of fungus and do what is needed to prevent them from infecting the whole tree and the others near it. 

 The cost to remove a tree varies according the following variables.  Each variable will be assessed by your tree service in Birmingham.  Just know that tree company's rates may vary making the same tree a different price to remove depending on the company quote.

Size
The larger and higher the tree, the more time consuming and difficult it will be to remove.  Consequently, the amount of labor to remove a larger, taller tree will be more driving the price higher.   

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
While not a significant factor, it can come into play if a dead tree is apt to break unnaturally as it is removed.   Significant decay can sometime cause a tree to be hazardous to nearby property structures as well as our staff members thereby requiring us to take extra precautions when removing.

Summary
Generally tree removal will range from as little as $400 to potentially well over $2,000 for the most complex, difficult to remove trees.  Tree removal Birmingham trusts has been our company's motto since our founding in 2002.  Call us for a free, often same day, estimate for all your tree care needs.
