Caring for your trees might sound easy and fun, and it is! However, caring for trees doesn't start and stop at planting and watering them. There's so much more involved in caring for them and ensuring they grow strong and will last for a long time.
Pruning, removal, planting, tree health assessment, and treatment are just a few things one can do when caring for trees. Although the first three can be done by regular homeowners, the last two and other tree care procedures will need an arborist's help.
An arborist is a professional and expert who deals with tree care, removal, and maintenance to ensure optimal tree health. They are also trained to have skills to use specialized equipment that can assess a tree's health or remove them easier.
And even though people make it a habit of doing most tree care themselves, there will always come a time when you really need an arborist to do the job.
If you are
considering getting an arborist to deal with a tree problem or ask for their help regarding tree care, you might wonder how much they charge.
Well, wonder no more because we have compiled a list of what tree arborists do and how much their services usually go for.
As the saying goes, information is knowledge and a key to success. To successfully maintain and care for your trees, you need the necessary information to know what to do next. That's where tree consultations and assessments come in. This is one of the popular services people hire arborists for.
Tree consultation will range from free to around $150, depending on the arborist. If you are making a consultation for more than one tree, then it'll be an extra $10 to $30 for an additional tree. For a thorough inspection, $500 and up, especially if you want an in-depth report on more than one tree.
Plenty of factors come into play when tallying how much arborists will charge for a tree or tree stump removal. The cost will depend on the size of the tree you want to remove, the location--which will be the basis of how difficult it will be to remove, what equipment is needed, and more. The average tree removal price can start at around $200 to $10,000. Again, depending on the tree's condition and the ease of access when removing it.
Tree surgery is a procedure that involves a lot of techniques to keep a tree, be it diseased or not, healthy and well-maintained. This includes pruning, pollarding, felling, stump removal, and more. Performing a tree surgery on a small tree can cost around $35 per hour, along with transportation fees and the necessary setup. Though some will charge by the job rather than by the hour. For a large tree, arborists might charge around $2000 depending on the height, the amount of work they would do, the equipment needed, and more.
There is more to tree care than just planting trees and watering them. And even though some will still stick to their decision to manage their trees themselves, some tree care procedures can be risky.
Caring for trees can be tiring without proper knowledge, equipment, and skills, and sometimes, it can be dangerous for you, your property, and the tree. It's better to be safe than sorry and ensure peace of mind by
getting a professional to do those risky tree care procedures instead.
