"Dan was very knowledgeable about trees and answered all of my questions about the removal and replacement of a tree. He provided an estimate and arrived the next day to remove a tree. His team did amazing with clean up and they were all very nice and helpful. Will be using their services again. Would highly recommend."
"I've had this company do a number of jobs for me such as trim the bushes, blow the leaves from my yard, and removed a large branch that fell from my tree. Everything is cleaned up with no debris left behind. They are always polite and positive. The best parts are when he gives you a quote it's honest and it doesn't cost more. Also, he is on time every time. That in its own right says a lot about this company."
"They arrived within an hour I would guess, which I would call prompt service. Seemed to share medical concern if I would need supplies or to get out. Genuine courteous. And the price was as quoted over the phone. Thank you. I would hire them again."
I am a lineman just looking to make some extra money on the side. I know trimming trees are expensive so I plan on giving a fair price won’t be able to cut anything done too big but I’ll try my best.
"Evan s Tree Service did an outstanding job trimming my trees and removing my hollies at a reasonable price. They were courteous and professional. I highly recommend them!"
"I had a big tree that needed cut and hauled off. It was there when I left for work and everything was cleaned up and gone when I got home. Very pleased with the work that was done."
"It’s in their name “RELIABLE”!
We were able to get multiple estimates and made the BEST choice. They were very reliable, and went beyond our expectations with the cleanup. All tress were removed as agreed upon. We are very pleased.
We would recommend them to anyone!!"
Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.
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
Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.
Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
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.
