Tree removal in United States ranges from $50 for basic services like stump grinding to $14,000 for extra large tree removal. Prices exclude sales tax where applicable. Permit requirements vary by municipality.

Most councils and municipalities require permits or approval to remove trees above a certain size. Protected species, heritage trees, and trees in conservation areas often have additional restrictions. Penalties for unauthorised removal can be severe. Always check with your local council before removing any tree.

Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump 15-30cm below ground level, leaving the root system in place. Full stump removal involves excavating the entire stump and root ball. Grinding is cheaper and faster, while full removal is needed if you plan to build or plant in the same spot.
