Tree Removal Cost Calculator will accurately estimate the costs associated with cutting and removing trees, as well as grinding down the stumps.
Tree cutting & removal can be expensive and dangerous, and is not recommended to do it yourself (when dealing with large trees).
However there are many companies specializing in cutting and removing trees, shrubs, etc., as well as grinding and/or removing stumps.
How to Use Tree Removal Cost Calculator
1) Enter the total number of trees you need to cut/remove.
2) ** Enter number of trees which are NEAR A STRUCTURE (within 5-10 feet) or driveways, decks or septic system, etc. These trees cannot be dropped to the ground, and each chunk needs to be lowered down from crate, to avoid property damage! Thus, cost to remove these trees is higher.
3) Enter average diameter of your trees. If you have a 40 inch tree and 10 inch tree, average would be 25 inches. This number is net critical, but still important for accurate cost estimating.
4) Select if you want to grind down the stumps, after trees are cut and removed. If yes, enter number of stumps to be grounded. Most tree companies grind stumps.
5) Select if you want to pull the stumps, after trees are cut and removed. If yes, enter number of stumps to be pulled.
NOTE: Most tree companies do not have their own excavators, and work with local excavation companies to pull stumps.
6) Select “Ease of Access”. If it would be difficult to drive a boom truck near the tree(s) that you need to cut OR there is a septic system or other obstruction in the way, select “Difficult” option. Otherwise leave as default (easy access).

Thanks for the tip that I should also make a deal with a lumber company when it comes to getting tree removal services. I’m interested in looking for that kind of service soon because I plan to clear my backyard in order to set up my own vegetable garden soon. Unfortunately, that will require me to get my tree removed down to its roots.
