These are the same ranges we quote on our tree removal page, based on the jobs we actually run in Washington, IN and Daviess County — not national averages.

Use these figures for planning only; your own price depends on the tree's size, its condition and how easy it is to reach. Every job gets a free, written estimate before any work starts.
Storm and emergency jobs — a tree that's already down, or actively leaning on a structure or power line — don't follow the standard size-based ranges above. Daviess County has real storm history behind that: the November 17, 2013 EF2 tornado damaged or destroyed roughly 20 homes in the Washington, Indiana area, and every storm since has left its share of downed and split trees behind. Emergency pricing runs Up to $5,000, depending on complexity, depending on how complicated the job is — call and describe the situation so we can gauge it accurately.
Before You Start
Some properties — especially near a property line, easement, or protected tree — may need a permit before a tree comes down, and that varies by exact location, not just by town. We check what applies to your specific property during your free estimate, rather than guessing. Ask whoever does the work for a certificate of liability insurance before anything is booked; it matters most on removals near a house, fence, or power line, where something going wrong could otherwise become your liability.
Should You DIY?
If it's a small ornamental or a sapling you can reach with both feet on the ground, and you have the tools and know-how, doing it yourself can be reasonable. Anything taller than that — especially a tree near a house, fence, driveway, or power line, or one that's already leaning or storm-damaged — is a different category of risk. Tree removal is one of the more dangerous jobs a homeowner can attempt: a misjudged cut or an unexpected lean can total a vehicle, take down a power line, or worse. When in doubt, get a free assessment before you pick up a chainsaw.
