I think that's pretty good actually. We were recently quoted $2k for 10-15 trees. But they are much much larger than yours.

I think that's a good price. My parents spent $800 to remove a rather large tree from their yard that was becoming a danger of falling on thier house.

I think the price you were given is not bad. Make sure it includes grinding the stumps.

I think $250-300 is a great price! We had trees cut down and for 3 trees, and to trim one they wanted to charge $2000.

They're fairly small trees so I guess the price is decent. We paid a lot more for a tree removal but it was much bigger than those trees. I can't even remember how much...I think $800 for a big tree removal and a thorough trimming of our others (big oaks)

I think that is good price too. It also depends if they are doing it by hand (meaning climbing the tree and cutting it down) or bringing in a truck into your backyard. It would be more for them to do it by hand.

We paid around 3500 for the removal of 8 giant oak trees and a full land clear

We got prices as high as 5500

we took the lowest price and the guy took about 2 months to do the jobChat Icon
