You decide

Tree removal questions
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends mainly on the tree's size, what it could fall on, and how equipment can reach it. A small open-yard tree is a short job; a large tree over a house can cost many times more. Stump grinding and hauling are often extra. See the tree removal cost guide.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on your city or county. Common triggers are trunk size, protected species and trees in the street right-of-way. Some cities, like Atlanta and Seattle, regulate most trees on private lots; many don't. See tree removal permits.
Who do I call if a tree falls on my house?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt or a line is down, your utility for any tree touching wires, then a tree service for removal and your insurer to open a claim. See what to do when a tree falls on your house.
Does TreeRemovalServices.net do the tree work?
No. We're an independent information and referral service. When you call, your call is routed to an independent local tree-service company, which quotes and does the work itself.
How do I know if a tree is dangerous?
Warning signs include large dead limbs, cracks in the trunk, mushrooms at the base, cavities, and a new or worsening lean with lifted soil. A tree with defects near your house is worth an arborist's assessment. See signs a tree is dangerous.
