Paying for Tree Removal

There is a very good reason why tree removal is not cheap. Not only is the job very dangerous since contractors must climb high trees while also coordinating the use of high-tech, heavy equipment, tree removal professionals must also implement loads of labor removing and hauling heavy pieces of tree debris. For these reasons and more, you can expect removal to be a bit of the cost. However, this does not mean you should ever overpay for tree removal, nor does it mean that you can’t afford when the time comes.

The most common factors used to determine the cost of troop of the project includes the size of the tree, the condition of tree, the location of the tree, the difficulty of the project overall, and even the species of the tree. On average, tree removal costs anywhere between $200 and $1,500 per tree. But again, these costs vary depending on the above mentioned factors and more.

Here are some average costs you can expect for certain species of tree:

🌳 Oak Trees: Like pine trees, Oak trees also grow to great heights. The average oak tree at full maturity can reach heights up to 60 feet or more. On top of height, oak trees are strong and durable, which also makes them heavier and harder. For these reasons, you can expect tree removal to cost around the same as pine tree removal.

🌲 Pine Trees: Because the average height of a pine tree is between 40 and 60 feet high, some as high as 80 feet at full maturity, they are typically more costly to remove. You can expect the average cost of punch removal to fall between $700 and $1,500 per tree, give or take.

🌳 Ash Trees: ashtrays are unique because they are quite vulnerable to several different types of pest infestations, namely – borers and similar wood boring beetles. For this reason, they can sometimes be complicated to take down, and even more difficult to dispose of since their infestations can spread quickly from tree to tree. For this reason, ash tree removal might cost little more than standard tree removal, falling anywhere between $500 and $1,000 per tree.

3 Common Methods for Getting Rid of a Tree Stump

Unwanted tree stumps in the ground can also be unsightly, depending on whom you ask. If it’s the homeowners, they would certainly agree that their stumps are an eye sore. Not only are tree stumps an unattractive feature, they can be problematic as well. Roots can hinder underground piping and cause structural damages, improper natural decay can attract nuisance pests like termites, and they are so difficult to mow around! There are several ways to remove tree stumps on residential or commercial properties, some of which are even natural.

Continue reading to take a closer look at all the options you have when it comes to getting rid of tree stumps for good.

❶ Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is the fastest and most effective approach to removing tree stumps. The only catch is that is has to be facilitated by a professional tree care company that retains the proper equipment and technologies to safely execute the job. Stump grinding is too dangerous for a novice because it requires heavy machinery and acute industry knowledge.

They cannot simply be “dug up” and removed. Stump grinding is the process in which a mechanical grinder grinds the stump down below grade level, so that new grass can grow over it. Once all parts of the stump are ground up, they can easily be removed manually. Although a more expensive option, it is the quickest, safest, and most guaranteed.

❷ Stump Removal Chemicals

Another approach to tree stump removal is using a chemical solution. You can purchase stump removal solutions and chemicals at your local home goods or gardening store. It is specially formulated to break down the bark and dissolve the wood, overtime. Typically, you would have to drill holes into the stump and then pour the solution into the holes.

The downfall to this option is that it takes several months to completely get rid of tree stumps. Even if the stumps eventually decay, the roots will still remain underground which can pose problems in the future. For these reasons, it is not the most recommended alternative to tree stump removal, but still an option nonetheless.

❸ Natural Tree Stump Removal

If you are looking for a more holistic approach to getting rid of tree stumps, then soil is your answer. Covering a tree stump with garden soil will eventually promote natural decay and rot. Because the stump is covered in soil, pests or insects cannot gain access to the organic compost and will eventually leave. This approach will work best for smaller stumps, and unfortunately, takes a very long time.
