"Primavera Outdoor Solutions did an amazing job at removing several trees. They completely cleaned up every bit of the trees that were taken down. Great communication throughout the process. Very, very pleased and will definitely use them again in the future. Just FYI, I found Primavera when they did work on a neighbors trees. I was very impressed with the work they did there so I had no hesitation in hiring them. I would highly recommend this company."

"I was so pleased with this tree service. In addition to removing 2 trees, 3 stumps were grinded. A tree was trimmed in the front yard; they even trimmed our hedge. A large pile of brush and limbs was removed from our backyard. They left the property looking much better than it did when they arrived. I would most definitely recommend these professionals for any tree work you need to have done. Thank you so much."

"Fernando and his crew are exceptional! Three of my neighbors have already hired him. I can't recommend GC Handyman & Tree Service highly enough! They were on time, did exactly what they said they would do in a timely manner for a reasonable price. Don't know what else you could ask for!"

"Michael and Bruce are fantastic and really helpful with advising how to handle older trees with issues. Their team handily trimmed and removed limbs, branches, and entire trees on our acre+ lot. They also cleaned up boxwoods. The whole yard looks like it has had a spa day. We will use them again for future cleanups, snow removal, and more!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
