The price factors
Four things set the price of a removal: the tree's size, its condition, what it stands over, and how much room the equipment has.
Here is each one, and what pushes it up:
Height and trunk width set how many cuts there are and how much wood comes down. Trunk width is measured at chest height, what the trade calls "diameter at breast height", and a taller, thicker tree costs more.
A dead, diseased or leaning tree costs more than a sound one. Brittle wood and a lean change how the tree can be rigged and how carefully each piece has to come down.
A tree close to the house, a fence, the driveway or a power line costs more, because every piece that comes down has to miss them.
Whether a crane or bucket truck can reach the tree moves the price. A tree a truck cannot get to costs more than the same tree in an open yard.
The typical range
A typical tree removal in Alpharetta runs $400 to $1,700 a tree, with small trees on open ground at the low end and large or hazardous trees that need a crane and complex rigging at the high end.
Where your tree lands in that range comes down to the four factors above. We come out, look at the tree and what stands under it, and quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

A tree standing over a house, fence or power line, or one out of a truck's reach, costs more to remove, because much of the cost goes to protecting what is underneath it rather than to the tree's height.
Here is the same tree in an open yard and over a roof:
In an open yard
Room to drop it
With clear ground around it, the tree can be cut down whole, what the trade calls "felling": the trunk drops in one planned direction into open space and is cut up where it lands.
Over a roof, fence or line
Every piece has to miss something
Here the tree comes down in pieces, "sectional removal": limbs and trunk sections are cut and lowered on ropes, the "rigging", into a planned "drop zone", or lifted clear by a "grapple-saw crane" where one can reach.
The add-ons
Stump grinding, hauling the debris and any permit the tree needs all add to the total, and when a permit is needed its cost is usually folded into the removal price.
These are the add-ons to ask about:
We put every add-on in the quote before we start, so nothing turns up on the bill after.
Saving on a removal
There are two ways to bring the cost down: time the removal for the slow season, or trim the tree instead of taking it down when trimming will do.
Not sure which fits your tree? Ask us on the call and we will tell you plainly.
Late winter to early spring is usually the cheapest time to take a tree down, because bare, dormant trees are faster and safer to work and demand is lower outside storm season.
Routine trimming of a mid-size shade tree usually costs less than removing it.
When the tree is sound and the trouble is a few limbs over the roof or the drive, trimming fixes it and the shade stays. Removal is for the tree that is dead or failing, and TreesAreGood.org: Why Hire an Arborist notes that removal can be expensive, one more reason to weigh trimming first.

Competitive price and they did a great job. I would definitely use them again.
This group is fantastic 98 degrees outside they did not stop these are heros
These guys came highly recommended from friends and family. Alejandro Came and gave me a competitive quote on the same day, for a giant white oak that others said was too big. Showed up on time on the day we agreed on and did an amazing job. You can’t even tell they were here aside from the massive tree that’s gone. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Fantastic crew.
