Tree cost calculator
a rough range for removal, trimming and stumps.
What will the job cost?
Pick a service, enter how many trees or stumps you have by size, and you get a rough range. It's a starting number, not a quote, and you can see it without giving us an email. Access, a crane and haul-away also change a removal, so add those on the full tree cost calculator.
For trees, what you pay mostly comes down to the tree's height, how easy it is to reach, how close it stands to the house, a fence or power lines, what shape it's in, and how much wood and brush has to be hauled off.
Who handles which tree
Before any work starts, it helps to know whose tree it is.
Trees along power lines.
MLGW trims trees on a cycle to keep its lines clear. It may remove a tree whose trunk is within 10 to 15 ft of a power line, depending on the voltage, and is endangering it. With your written consent, it can also take down a dead or diseased tree that threatens the lines. It won't remove a tree just because it touches the service drop, the line that runs to your house. For the details, see MLGW's tree trimming page.
Trees in the street.
The City of Memphis clears fallen trees from the roadway. Its job ends at the street, so a tree in your yard is up to you.
Trees in your yard.
Trees on your own property are your responsibility, and that's exactly the work we do. See tree removal and tree trimming.
Town rules in brief
Germantown, Collierville and Bartlett each have their own tree rules. Here's the short version.
- Germantown: dead trees must be removed by the property owner, and limbs kept 8 ft above sidewalks and 12 ft above streets. See Germantown's property maintenance requirements.
- Collierville: the tree canopy rules exempt some removals, including trees on residential lots of one acre or less, and dead or dying trees once the Town confirms their condition or the owner has it confirmed in writing. See Collierville's tree canopy code.
- Bartlett: topping is strongly discouraged on single-family lots, and Code Enforcement wants notice before work on the right-of-way. See Bartlett's tree and landscaping ordinance.
Rules vary by city, so it's worth a quick check with yours. We're happy to help you figure out what applies to your yard.
What to expect
Call us or fill out the form.
Tell us what you want done and roughly how tall the tree is.
We come out and look.
We measure the tree and check the access and what is under and around it: the house, fences and lines.
The work and the cleanup.
The tree is cut, lowered and hauled off, or the wood is left for you, as agreed.
The stump.
A removal leaves a stump. Grinding it is a separate job with its own price. See stump grinding.
