Tree removal costs $300–$1,500 for small trees under 25 feet, $1,000–$3,000 for medium trees (25–75 feet), and $2,000–$7,000+ for large trees over 75 feet. Factors: tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to structures, and whether the root system is extensive.
Insurance typically covers removal of a fallen tree that damages a structure (house, fence) from a covered event (storm, wind). Removal of a standing hazard tree is usually not covered unless you can demonstrate imminent threat. Removal of a healthy tree is always owner's expense.
Consider removal when: more than 50% of the tree is dead or damaged, the trunk shows cracks or large cavities, the tree is leaning toward a structure, major roots are severed, or the tree is diseased with no treatment option. Otherwise, proper trimming by a certified arborist can extend a tree's life by decades.
