Are you ready to finally take down that tree in your yard and are curious about what it will cost?

While there are a variety of factors that go into determining the cost of removing a tree in Ottawa, there are some general price ranges you can expect. In this post we’ll go through approximate prices for cutting down trees and cleanup, as well as some of the main factors that can influence the cost.

Tree Removal Costs in Ottawa

For average pricing depending on tree size, take a look at the options below:

  • Small Trees (up to 30 feet): $500 – $700
  • Medium Trees (30 to 60 feet): $700 – $1,500
  • Large Trees (60+ feet): $1,500 – $2,500+

How to get a cost estimate

To get an accurate estimate, you’ll need to invite a certified arborist to come to your home or business and make a proper assessment. There are some key factors to consider that affect both the work involved and equipment needed to properly take down a tree — which affects the final cost.

  • Tree Size: As mentioned above, the size of the tree is one of the biggest factors. Larger trees will take more time to properly bring down safely and may sometimes require specialized equipment to be brought on-site as well.
  • Condition of the Tree: A tree that is damaged or decayed requires extra caution as it can come down suddenly and unpredictably. A healthy tree, on the other hand, is much more stable, making it easier to predict how it will react during the tree removal process.
  • Location: A tree that is either in close proximity to structures or powerlines will require more delicate work, while a tree in an open clearing is more straightforward to bring down.
  • Scope of Work: If the job includes additional services such as stump grinding or fees for permits, this may influence the final price tag as well.

Do your research to find a reputable company

So how do you find the right tree services company in Ottawa for the job? Price is certainly a key part of the equation for any homeowner, though given the risks and processes involved in tree services, it’s important to take time and do research through customer testimonials and reviews to find a tree company that has the experience and expertise for the job.

Good luck!
