Tree Removal FAQs
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
In Northern California, full tree removal typically runs $400–$2,500 depending on size, species, location, and access. A 60-foot oak in a backyard with limited crane access costs more than a 25-foot pine in an open lot. Always get at least two written quotes.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on the city and county. Many NorCal jurisdictions require permits for protected oaks and trees over a certain trunk diameter on private property — and almost every city requires permits for trees in the public right-of-way. Check your local planning department before scheduling work.
How long does tree removal take?
Most residential removals take 2–6 hours including cleanup. Larger or more hazardous jobs may take a full day or require multiple days, especially when crane work or traffic control is involved.
What's included in a tree removal quote?
A complete quote should include: felling, sectional removal if needed, hauling debris, optional stump grinding, cleanup, traffic control if needed, and proof of liability and workers' comp insurance. Stump grinding is usually quoted separately.
