Contracting a Tree Service in Lake County to come out and perform basic tree trimming and maintenance pruning typically costs anywhere between $1,500-$4,500 Per day. The price will vary greatly depending on who you hire, the scope of work required, the standard that company holds themselves too, the  location of the trees,  and the access available to process and remove the debris.

Typically our costs range from $400 to $1,200 per job on the low end with the high-end range around $1500-$2500 per day. Again, this all varies with the scope of work on the project that we are contracted for.

Tree Removal costs will vary between $1,500 to $7,500+ per tree. The typical tree removal project will involve Climbing the tree, dismantling it in a controlled manner, staging/stacking all of the debris throughout the process, once the tree is completely down it will be hauled away and a final clean up of the property will be provided. The cost will be dependent on the size and location of the tree, obstacles or structures beneath or around the tree, access to work the area, amount of loads of debris to be hauled away, as well as what equipment will be needed to handle the project efficiently. The price will vary greatly between different Tree Service providers due to overhead, business model, and the number of employees.

The average cost of having a Tree Service come out to prune a tree is $460. Generally, the price will range between $350-$1,500. Topping a tree (a controversial practice, we should point out) should always be avoided as it causes unnecessary damage to the the health and structure of the Tree which will increase the chance for premature limb failure and property damage down the road. This practice allows for sporadic re growth of shoots which then turn into limbs with limited structure at the branch collar unions. If you have a Tree Service reccomending this service or advertising for Tree Topping we suggest you look elsewhere. In order to avoid this we suggest crown reduction pruning in order to to reshape the tree in a way that will reduce risk to your property, the health of the tree, and allow you and your trees to live together in harmony . For a tree 30-60 feet, plan to spend $175-$400, and $200-$1,800 to trim a tree over 60 feet.

Complexity. The process of climbing and working Trees is not only a very labor intensive task, but it’s also one of the most dangerous trades out of any industry. Without the Proper Knowledge, Training, and Experience it can lead to costly Property Damage, Severe Personal Injury, or even Death. This is a job that most people don’t want to do as we are climbing anywhere from 10ft to 100ft, running chainsaws, cutting pieces of trees which weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds, then most of the time rigging and maintaining these pieces in order to avoid property or landscape damage. Trees being removed often times need to be cut apart one section at a time to avoid dropping whole tree sections onto the property or into traffic. Specialized equipment is needed, such as Personal Protective Equipment ie: Hard Hats, Chainsaw Protection, Eye Protection, Proffesional Climbing Gear, Specialty Ropes, Rigging Tools, Multiple Chainsaws, etc. This equipment is costly to acquire and maintain. Then you also have to take into account Taxes,Payroll Costs, Marketing, License & Insurance, Fuel, Dump Fees, Maintenance, among other miscellaneous costs.

Absolutley! We always aim for zero impact tree work. What this means is that we try and disrupt the surrounding landscape as little as possible when working on your trees. We rarely use Heavy Equipment Ie: Bucket Trucks, Aerial Lifts, Etc. As a Climbing Arborist I’m able to climb and work 90% of the jobs I’m contracted to do without the use of heavy equipment. Furthermore, by utilizing proper rigging we can lower down the larger pieces in a controlled manner to avoid damage to the lawn and surrounding property.
