Old Town Tree & Landscaping

A lot of people have never had any experience in dealing with having a tree removed. There are a lot of determining factors to the actual cost. There is rarely a one size fit all price. For this reason most tree companies offer free estimates. It is always recommended to get multiple quotes or referrals are another great route to finding the right contractor. One of the main factors is size of tree. Obviously the larger the tree the more it could cost. Not all large trees have to have a high price tag though. What can make a larger tree more expensive is the amount of debris that has to be hauled away. Branches and limbs up to 15" can be processed through the wood chipper. This in the best way to consolidate and haul away debris. The type of tree is also important. Some species of tree are more desirable for various reasons and easier to get rid of. For example Oak is an optimal wood to use for firewood. This may make it easier to dispose of and wind up not costing as much. Pine on the other hand is less desirable to burn and may have to be paid for to dispose of.  Proximity of tree to homes, buildings, structures, fences, powerlines, telecommunication lines, and other things may play a role as well. The reason for taking a tree down in the first place may be to protect one of these. So not damaging them in the removal process is another obvious goal. This may require more a technical process such as rigging and lowering parts of the tree with control. This process will be more time consuming than just felling a tree. Location of a tree is also a big part of the process especially for access to the tree. If there is limited access it may be harder to get equipment to it. With limited equipment sometimes more experience and manual labor is required. The type of terrain comes into play as well. If a tree is in a wooded area there will be less need to worry about protecting the ground. If the tree is in the middle of a manicured lawn freshly sodded, a more delicate approach will be needed. At the end of the day almost every situation is slightly different. At Old Town Tree we have the experience to determine exactly what is needed for almost every situation.
