Text or upload a couple of pictures of the tree and the surroundings. That is usually enough for a real ballpark.
We walk the property, check access, look at what is overhead and underground, and give you a written number.

Brush chipped, wood hauled or stacked, work area raked and blown before we pull out.
Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb County. Every city page covers local permit rules, common tree species, and what removals actually cost there.
A lot of companies quote a removal on every tree they look at, because removals pay more than pruning. That is backwards. A healthy 60 year old oak is worth more to your property than anything you would plant to replace it, and a lot of trees people think are dying are just stressed.
If your tree can be saved with corrective pruning, deadwooding, or a cable, we will tell you that and quote the cheaper job. If it is a hazard, we will tell you that too, and show you why.
Tell us what you are dealing with. Most quotes back the same day.

Yes, general liability and workers compensation, and we send the certificate before the job. Ask every company you get a quote from for the same thing. If a climber gets hurt on an uninsured crew working at your house, that exposure can land on you.
