You’re probably wondering, “What does it cost to get my tree removed?”
The answer to this question is not an easy one, and the costs depend on many different factors.
As you can imagine there’s no “one-size-fits-all solution” when it comes to tree removal, as every tree and every landscape in the Grand Rapids area is a little different.
However, there are some commonalities.
Let’s have a look at the most common cost factors for tree removal in Grand Rapids and surrounding areas:
Some tree species are heavier than others, some are more robust and generally harder to remove, some have a lot more branches than others, and some have deeper roots and require a more thorough removal of the tree stump and root system.
At the same time, the easiest to remove tree can under certain circumstances be the hardest to remove tree. Therefore this is just one factor of many and an on-site inspection is necessary to determine the difficultly and complexity level of the removal.
In any case, rest assured that our team has experience with the removal of all local tree species.
Some of the most common ones are sugar maple, eastern white pines, red pines, American basswood, american beech, paper birch, black cherry, eastern redbud, American chestnut, balsam fir, tulip trees, box elder, eastern cottonwood, red maple, red oak, white oak.
This list is not exhaustive, and this is just one of many factors that affect the cost of tree removal. Read on to learn more about the other factors.
This is one of the most important factors, since it’s obviously going to be more expensive to get a 90 feet white oak removed, than to get a 20 feet tall paper birch removed.
The rule of thumb here is easy: The smaller, the cheaper – and the other way ’round!
The exact same thing goes for diameter. The thicker, the more expensive it generally becomes. Also regarding the green waste disposal.
But no worries – you could be having a big tree that might be cheaper to remove because of an easy access situation, or other factors.
If your tree is in an area that is difficult to access, like in a narrow access backyard or on a hill, then that generally means higher costs.
Likewise, if your tree can be easily accessed by machinery, the costs are usually going to be lower.
The same goes for proximity to structures, such as buildings, power lines, other trees that don’t get removed, or other structures.
If your tree is an open area, where it can be easily felled the costs are inevitably going to be much lower.
That doesn’t on the other hand mean that every tree removal close to power lines or other structures will be expensive. The other cost factors are still very important to determine the final cost.
Getting 10 trees removed in some cases might only cost you 2-3 times as much as getting just one tree removed.
This is especially true if the trees can be taken down with heavy machinery, which is why land clearing with increasing acreage becomes more and more cost-efficient.
You might not have an acre to clear, but maybe your neighbor has a tree that he has been thinking about getting removed for a while.
Two or more jobs in close proximity can lead to savings in fuel, travel time, machinery allocation, disposal costs, and more.
And tree removal companies will happily pass some of those savings on to you, if you help them save time and effort.
This one should be obvious, but we’ll still mention it for the sake of completeness:
It will cost you more to get a tree removed if you’re looking to hire a tree removal company during a storm or other severe weather events, than during a windless and tranquil winter month, when tree companies usually aren’t as busy. When the demand is high, the costs will be higher. When the demand is low, the costs will be lower.
As you’ve probably realized by now, there are many factors that will affect the cost of tree removal in your specific case.
The costs can range from as little as a few hundred dollars for a small tree in an otherwise empty front yard to as high as several thousand dollars for a tree giant in a difficult to access area.

At Forest Green Tree Service, we believe in a comprehensive approach to tree removal.
Our process ensures you feel confident about your decision to proceed with removal, and that your property is protected throughout the whole process and left clean:
Trees provide beauty, shade, and environmental benefits, but sometimes they pose a risk to your property or need to be removed for other reasons.
Here are some common scenarios where tree removal services might become necessary:
Severe weather can cause trees to fall or break, leading to potential safety risks and property damage. After storms, we offer fast response tree removal and clean up services.
Sick trees can affect the health of surrounding trees and negatively impact the aesthetic of your landscape. If a tree can’t be saved through tree pruning or disease management, removal is often the best solution.
Any tree that can cause injury or death to people or damage property is considered a hazard tree. There are many possible causes that can make a tree hazardous, such as pests, diseases, age, storm damage, soil compaction, etc. Our team is experienced in identifying and safely removing such trees.
