Rough price ranges
These are typical ranges for residential jobs. They are a starting point only. Your actual price comes from a company that has seen the tree.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small tree (under ~30 ft) | $150 – $500 |
| Medium tree (~30–60 ft) | $400 – $1,200 |
| Large tree (60 ft+), or close to the house | $1,000 – $2,500+ |
| Stump grinding (per stump) | $100 – $400 |
| Emergency / storm removal | Usually higher than the ranges above |
Ranges are rough estimates gathered from home-service cost guides for the Augusta area and are not a quote. Prices change with demand, especially after storms.
What makes a tree removal cost more
- Height and trunk size. Bigger trees take longer and produce more wood to haul.
- Distance to the house, fence or power lines. If the tree can’t be dropped in one piece, it has to come down in sections.
- Access. Backyards with no gate for equipment, steep slopes, or soft ground all add time.
- Condition. Dead or storm-damaged trees can be brittle and dangerous to climb, so crews may need a bucket truck or crane.
- Cleanup. Hauling away logs and brush, and grinding the stump, are often priced separately.
How to keep the cost down
- Get the scope in writing: removal, hauling, stump and cleanup listed line by line.
- Ask to keep the firewood if you can use it. Leaving the wood can lower the price.
- Do several trees in one visit instead of separate trips.
- Don’t wait until a damaged tree falls. Planned work is cheaper than emergency work.
Common questions
Why are quotes so different between companies?
Each company looks at risk, equipment and how busy they are. A crew with a bucket truck may price a job very differently from one that has to climb. That is why it is worth getting more than one quote for a big job.
Is it cheaper to remove a tree in winter?
Sometimes. Late fall and winter are slower for tree companies in the Augusta area, so scheduling can be easier and some companies price more competitively. Right after a big storm, prices and wait times usually go up.
Does the price include stump grinding?
Not always. Many quotes leave the stump at ground level. Ask for stump grinding to be listed separately so you can compare.
