FAQ's
For Pine trees, you can find them in different sizes and shapes. However, even for trees of the same size, which is 50ft. the type of pine can bring a significant difference. For a 50ft. the cost will be from $850 to $1,750. This depends on how easy it is to access the tree and where it is located. Some species of trees require more work to cut down while others will need a cherry picker and more work.
It is highly unlikely. Once you have cut down a tree, the tree service company will not be willing to buy the tree. However, if you have the right type of tree, it is possible to get someone willing to buy it. It must be a tree of exotic timber or a Date palm of which a landscaping company can buy to sell it later for a profit.
The cost of removing a Gum tree will be affected by access to the tree, size and number of branches. As a result, you cannot get a constant price. However, for a medium Eucalyptus or Gum, you should expect to pay approximately $1600. A small one will cost around $700. A large Gum, on the other hand, can easily cost you up to $4,100.
Determining a fair size for tree removal is difficult. However, the actual cost is determined by several factors one of them being the size. As a result, the only way you can be able to gauge a fair price is by getting several quotes from different companies. By getting 3 to 5 different quotes, you are able to determine which one is fair.
There are only a few cases in which you may be able to get your tree cut down for free. One of them is through an insurance company in case the tree is brought down by a storm. Another case is that you can ask your landlord in case you’re are a tenant to cut down a tree. If your landlord accepts then you are lucky. However, in some governments, there are grants that support pensioners in tree removal. You will have to check with your local government to know if there are such grants.
It depends on the type of tree you want to remove. If the tee is protected as a result of its size, then a permit will be necessary. As a result, you have to check your local tree removal ordinance to know which trees are protected or not.

17 x 247/ 1000 x 4.95 = 208
