The cost of removing a Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) depends on the tree’s size and the service provider you choose for the task.

The average cost of removing a Crepe Myrtle tree is $410. If you have a smaller tree, your estimate might go as low as $150, and you can budget for an estimate of $410 and above if you remove a larger tree.

The best saving tip I can give you is not to use a tree service for any tree smaller than 15 ft. A garden maintenance company can handle smaller trees, and it costs about half the price.

Factors That Influence The Cost of Removal

There are a few things that influence the quote you will be getting for your crepe tree removal cost. Some of them are discussed below:

Location of the Tree

The location of the Myrtle tree on your property can be an important influence on the cost of removal. Trees further away from the house will allow more access to machinery for easy removal. While a tree in proximity to your building might be harder to access with equipment.

Most times, companies resort to manual equipment for tree removal to protect the structure of your home and avoid accidents. This usually requires more labor hours, therefore increasing the cost of removal.
