Looking to have a tree removed from your property safely and effectively? A professional tree service company like VS Tree is able to come in, assess the situation, complete the job, and provide full cleanup.
There isn’t one set cost for tree removal, as the cost is in direct relation with the complexity of removing the trees and is attributed to various factors, including the presence of power lines, accessibility, proximity to buildings and more which adds to the intricacy and potential risks involved in the process.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to get an estimate from a company that will come to your site and who can also answer your questions on what will be involved in the process.
This post will go through some of the most important factors in determining the cost, so you can get clarity on what to expect.
What is the Size of the Tree?
The first and most obvious influence on the final price is the size of the tree. Small trees will typically require less work and involve less risk, while large trees need to be approached more methodically.
The expected cost of removing a very large tree in Ottawa typically ranges from $2,100 to $5,700. This price range accounts for the considerable height of these trees, often reaching 80 to 100 feet or even more.
Where is the Tree Located?
Another key piece to consider in any tree removal job is the location of the tree. If the tree is close to a building or other key infrastructure such as power lines, the removal team will need to be even more careful to ensure the job is done safely and without any damage. The location of the tree can also limit our team’s ability to bring in the machinery and equipment required to bring the tree down.
What is the Condition of the Tree?
Safely felling a tree will also depend on the tree’s condition. Healthy trees can come down more easily and predictably, while there can be many more risks involved in bringing down diseased or structurally weakened trees. Branches or even part of the main tree structure can unexpectedly break, or fall in a less expected way, so work has to be done much more slowly and deliberately.
Is a Permit Required to Cut Down the Tree?
As a general rule, you can expect to need a permit to cut down a tree in Ottawa. While this is not technically necessary for trees that have a diameter of 15cm or less, most trees that fall into the category of requiring a professional tree service company will exceed this amount.
