Whether you are clearing space for a new deck, protecting your home from storm-damaged limbs, or preparing your lot for a full addition, understanding tree removal MA cost is essential. Massachusetts homeowners face unique challenges—tall maples close to property lines, historic oaks protected by local ordinances, and tight urban lots that complicate equipment access. CountBricks delivers precise, AI-powered cost breakdowns so you never guess at numbers or battle surprise line items. Instead, you gain a crystal-clear estimate that ties every material, task, and labor hour to real-time market rates.
• Tree size and species: Hardwoods such as oak or hickory are denser and require more labor and specialized blades than softwoods like pine.
• Height and canopy spread: The taller and wider the tree, the more crew hours and rigging equipment are needed to section branches safely.
• Location on the lot: A tree overhanging power lines or positioned between two houses demands surgical removal techniques that increase labor.
• Accessibility for machinery: Tight backyards without gate access often require manual climbing and roping instead of bucket trucks, adding crew time.
• Stump grinding vs. complete root ball extraction: Stump grinding is faster but leaves roots; full extraction costs more yet clears the ground for new construction immediately.
• Permit requirements: Many Massachusetts towns require tree removal permits, especially for trees larger than a set diameter or those designated as heritage species.
• Disposal and hauling: Local dumping fees and mileage to the nearest biomass facility feed directly into the final invoice.
CountBricks data shows most residential tree removal in MA falls between $550 and $2,400 per tree. Smaller ornamental trees under 20 feet trend toward the lower end, while mature 60-foot oaks in confined spaces can exceed $3,500. Stump grinding typically adds $175-$450, whereas complete stump and root extraction can double that figure. These price bands are updated daily inside CountBricks estimates, ensuring every quote you present is backed by current supplier and subcontractor rates.
