Cost to remove a tree?

$20

Last time I priced one out near Lafayette the guy told me it was a 500$ minimum. That covered cutting it down, removal, and grinding of the stump.

That's gonna hurt.

Get several estimates. Tree guys often just throw random dollar amounts out to see if customers will bite.
Find a tree guy short on beer money, and you'll get the job much cheaper.

We were quoted $1000 for a 70-80' pine tree. that included removal and stump grinding.

We have about 750 for a tall pine here.itd probably cost us 30,000 to get all the pines out of our yard. They fricking suck.

The cost will depend on whether it can be cut and dropped in one pc. Or will it have to be climbed and taken down pc. by pc. I spent close to 4k to have trees removed after Katrina. Good luck.

And that's if they don't have to top it first using a crane.

Then they sell if for firewood for another $2500 after they haul it off. Shits a racket!

Ive used Broussard's as well. I thought they were all ridiculously prices, but I wasn't going to take down a +60ft water oak myself

Make sure that whoever you use is bonded, licensed, insured, etc.

A relative in another state used the cheapest guy who was none of the above. She is an elderly lady and didn't think to ask these things. He fell and died in her backyard!

We are hoping the family doesn't sue.
