Do tree removal companies need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

How much does it cost to remove a fallen tree near my house?

• <div><p>To have a fallen tree removed near your home, you can expect to pay between <b>$100 to $500</b>. Your local tree removal professional will most likely just need to cut and remove the tree from your property, but factors like the size of the tree and its trunk diameter impact this cost. In addition, there will be an extra cost to fill in the hole left by the tree, and while you have your tree removal specialist on-site, it might be worth it to have them inspect the other trees in your yard for potential damage. Trees that have fallen onto your home or another structure, will likely be more costly to remove.</p></div> • <div><p>The minimum cost is $500 to $1,000, as disposal of tree debris is between $200 and $300 per load.</p></div> • <div><p>Costs can range from $500 up to $2,000, on average. It depends on the size of the tree, the location, accessibility, if there are hazardous conditions surrounding the tree and the environment, and if other work is being done on the property along with fallen tree removal.</p></div> • <div><p>It really depends on if it's just lying on the ground or if it fell on a structure. The cost could be anywhere from $500 to $10,000. There's a wide price range because some fallen trees are really easy to remove, while others are very difficult and require a crane.</p></div> • <div><p>You can expect to pay about $1,000 to $4,000 to have a fallen tree removed. Trees that have fallen require more labor to remove than one that's standing.</p></div>

How much does it cost to remove a tree?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tree-removal-cost.htm">removing a tree costs</a> around <b>$750</b>, but you can expect to pay between <b>$200 to $2,000</b>. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.</p></div> • <div><p>The cost varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the tree, location, accessibility, whether or not the stump is also being removed, and other environmental factors.</p></div> • <div><p>Each tree is different, and costs can vary widely based on factors including tree size, hardness of wood, difficulties caused by location of the tree and proximity to nearby structures and objects, inherent risk involved in specific removals (e.g. rotten sections of trunk), requirements of dealing with municipalities and local governments for tree removal permits, and the methods employed by the tree worker to remove your tree. </p><p>A single tree could cost as low as $100 to remove or $10,000 dollars or more depending on these factors. It is also important to keep in mind that many companies have a minimum price to come out and do work or even give quotes.</p></div> • <div><p>Removal of trees costs about $1,500 to $3,000, on average.</p></div> • <div><p>On average, removing a tree costs around $1,000, but you can expect to pay between $750 and $6,000.

What factors should I consider when choosing a tree removal company?

• <div><ol><li><p><b>If there are no online reviews</b>, ask them for referrals. If a tree removal company is reputable, you won't be their first client. It's perfectly acceptable to ask for references on your initial call, and if a removal company won't provide referrals, it's time to move on.</p></li><li><p><b>Find out what equipment they use</b>. Some types of tree removal equipment are better than others, and a removal company might need special tools to get your particular job done. On your first conversation with a prospective removal company, make sure that you clearly express the nature of the job you want accomplished and receive assurances that the company has the proper equipment. </p></li><li><p><b>Consider all of the costs.</b> Always ask for an estimate up-front. Inquire about the job itself and any potential hidden fees that you might not be aware of.</p></li></ol><p></p></div> • <div><p>First, get references. Be sure to ask about their history and how long they have been in business.</p></div> • <div><p>Word of mouth and years in the business.</p></div> • <div><p>How many years of total service in the industry.</p></div>

Alonso et al. did a super job of digging out the stump, using a skidsteer-type machine. It took 3-4 hours, and they did leave a few tracks in the yard, but those will be fixed when spring comes (they've agreed to repair the affected grass). I thought the price of ~ $600 was great, the stump is...
