What changes the price
- Tree height and trunk width
- How close it is to the house, fences or power lines
- Whether the stump is ground and the wood hauled away
- Emergency or storm work
- Where you live. Local labor costs, demand and travel time move prices up or down from the national average.
How to pay less
- Get several trees or stumps done in one visit. Extra stumps cost far less than the first one.
- Keep the wood for firewood instead of paying to haul it away, if the crew can leave it cut to length.
- Book non-urgent removals in the off-season, when crews aren't busy with storm work.
- Deal with dead or leaning trees early. Emergency removal after a storm is billed at a higher hourly rate.
- Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
