Panhandle Tree Service
Free itemized estimate in under a minute. Licensed & insured local crews. No bidding wars.
Height, species, trunk diameter, access, and condition — the same factors a crew prices on site.
Not one vague number: base cost, diameter add-on, access and condition premiums, stump grinding, haul-away — each on its own line.
Bring the estimate to your contractor conversation knowing what drives the price — and what should be in the quote.
Every coefficient in this estimator is calibrated against published industry cost data — not made up. The estimate also flags what quotes usually leave out: permits, insurance coverage gaps, and storm-chaser red flags. See the full methodology and sources.
Typical baseline cost runs $325 for small trees under 30 ft, $825 for medium trees 30–60 ft, $1,650 for large trees 60–80 ft, and $2,850 for very large trees over 80 ft — before adjustments for trunk diameter, species, access, and condition. Use the estimator above for an itemized number for your tree, or see our cost statistics page for full methodology.
It varies by city and county. Many residential removals on your own property don’t require a permit, but several Panhandle cities have tree ordinances. Check with your city or county code enforcement office before removal — a legitimate tree service will know the local rules.
Usually only if the tree fell due to a covered cause like a storm, and coverage is often capped at $500–$1,000 per tree or about 5% of dwelling coverage. A healthy tree you simply want removed is rarely covered. Check your policy before assuming.
