The average cost of tree removal is $750, though prices can range from $200 to $2,000, depending on factors like the tree’s size and species. Some species, such as aspen or pine, have complex root systems that can drive up the cost of removal. Aside from planting the tree itself, you’ll see additional costs from obtaining a permit, cleaning up the area, and removing debris. Additionally, plan to budget an extra $100 to $150 for stump removal.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
