Planning a construction project in Tucson? Tree removal can significantly impact your budget. Typical costs range from $150 for small ornamentals to $2,800+ for large, hazardous trees. Understanding these costs upfront helps allocate funds effectively. CountBricks offers AI-driven estimates that integrate tree data with current market rates, ensuring accurate budgeting.
• Large desert trees near property lines can threaten foundations and utilities.
• Drought-stressed limbs pose safety hazards during demolition.
• HOA and municipal codes may require removal by licensed professionals.
• Clearing lots improves solar orientation and space for additions.
• Height and canopy spread: A mature mesquite under 20 feet may cost one-third of a 50-foot eucalyptus.
• Trunk diameter: Wider trunks require more equipment and labor.
• Access constraints: Limited access increases crew labor.
• Proximity to structures: Requires certified climbers and extra insurance.
• Debris handling: On-site chipping is cheaper than hauling.
• Stump grinding: Typically ranges from $85-$250 per stump.
• Permit and disposal fees: City permits may cost $30-$50, with varying landfill rates.
1. Small ornamental tree (under 15 feet): $150 – $350
2. Medium shade tree (15 – 30 feet): $350 – $700
3. Large desert tree (30 – 50 feet): $700 – $1,400
4. Very large or hazardous tree (over 50 feet): $1,400 – $2,800+
These costs include cutting, debris removal, and cleanup, excluding stump grinding and permits.
