What tree removal includes

Tree removal means cutting a tree to the ground and dealing with everything that comes down: limbs, brush and trunk wood. A good quote spells out whether the crew chips the brush, hauls the logs, leaves firewood lengths or grinds the stump, so read that part closely.

  • The tree cut to the groundFelled whole, or taken down in sections where there is no room.
  • Brush chippedLimbs and brush run through a chipper, with chips left or hauled.
  • Trunk wood handledLogs hauled away, stacked, or cut to firewood lengths.
  • The stumpCut low, or ground out below grade.

When the ISA recommends an arborist

The International Society of Arboriculture recommends an arborist when a tree is:

  • Dead, dying or an unacceptable risk
  • Causing an obstruction that pruning can't fix
  • Crowding and harming better trees nearby
  • In the way of new construction

How a tree is taken down

  1. Check what is around it

    The contractor looks at what is under and around the tree: house, garage, fence, wires, septic, neighbors.

  2. Fell it where there is room

    With open ground, the tree may be felled in one piece in a planned direction.

  3. Section it where there isn't

    Without room, a climber or bucket truck removes the limbs and lowers the trunk in sections on ropes.

  4. Lift with a crane if needed

    When sections can't be lowered safely, a crane lifts them over the house.

  5. Clean up

    Brush is chipped, wood is cut and hauled or stacked, and the stump is cut low or ground out.

What affects the price of tree removal?

No prices are listed here because each tree is different. The contractor quotes after seeing it. The price comes down mostly to the factors below.

  • Height, spread and trunk diameter
  • What sits underneath: roof, deck, pool, fence, power lines
  • Access for trucks, lifts and chippers, including gate width and soft lawns
  • Whether a crane or bucket truck is needed
  • Condition: dead, split or storm-damaged trees take more care
  • Cleanup, log hauling and stump grinding

Three things to settle before a tree comes down

What the contractor needs from you

  • The address and which tree or trees you mean
  • A rough height and trunk size, and whether the tree is alive, dead or damaged
  • What is near it: buildings, fences, lines, gardens
  • How a truck can reach it and any gate widths
  • Whether you want the wood left, the brush chipped and the stump ground

Tree Removal questions

Do you need a permit to cut down a tree on your own property in Medina?
Public trees in Medina, including every treelawn tree, need the City Forester's authorization, and some private trees in conservation easements or tree preservation areas are protected at 10 inches across and up. The code page reviewed for this site lists no permit for other private trees, but call the city to confirm before work starts.
What happens to the stump after a tree is removed?
Unless the quote includes grinding, the stump is cut low and left in place. Stump grinding takes it below the surface so the spot can be leveled, seeded or replanted. Ask for both on the same quote if you want the job finished in one visit.
Can the wood be left for firewood?
Most contractors will cut trunk wood into rounds and leave it if you ask, and some will stack it. Say so in your request, because leaving wood instead of hauling it changes the scope of the job and therefore the quote.
Can a tree be removed in winter?
Trees can come down in any season. Snow, ice and soft ground all change how equipment reaches a tree, so the contractor will tell you whether the timing matters for yours.
