Every figure below is a national range from a published cost guide, checked in October 2026. None of them is a quote from a Tyler company. Use them to judge whether a quote is in the normal range, then compare written quotes for the same scope.

Tree removal cost by height

Height is the biggest single driver. HomeAdvisor's 2026 figures:

Tree height	Typical national cost	Source
Up to 30 feet	About $150 to $450	HomeAdvisor
30 to 60 feet	About $450 to $1,200	HomeAdvisor
60 to 80 feet	About $800 to $1,500	HomeAdvisor
Over 80 feet	About $1,000 to $2,000	HomeAdvisor

A 30-foot tree sits where the first two bands meet, around $450 in HomeAdvisor's table. A 40-foot tree falls in the $450 to $1,200 band. Which trees cost $1,000 or more? In this table, $1,000 is near the top of the 30-to-60-foot band, inside the 60-to-80-foot band, and the starting point for trees over 80 feet. A tree over a roof or a power line can pass $1,000 at a shorter height, because the pieces have to be lowered instead of dropped.

HomeAdvisor says a tree over about 80 feet usually needs a crane, at about $250 to $600 a day, and that a complex job can reach $6,000 to $7,000. Its overall high end is $10,000 or more, for large trees near power lines.

Cost by tree type

HomeAdvisor also lists removal by species:

Tree type	Typical national cost	Source
Pine	About $250 to $1,500	HomeAdvisor
Oak	About $200 to $2,000	HomeAdvisor
Cedar	About $250 to $1,500	HomeAdvisor

Oaks cost more to grind (see stumps below) and come with a timing rule: Texas A&M Forest Service asks Texans not to wound oaks from February through June, which affects removals next to oaks you're keeping. See pine tree removal for more on pines.

Add-ons that change the total

Many quotes cover only cutting the tree down. HomeAdvisor lists these as common extras:

Add-on	Typical national cost	Source
Stump grinding	$120 to $500	HomeAdvisor
Chipping	About $95	HomeAdvisor
Log splitting	About $70 per tree	HomeAdvisor
Debris hauling	About $70	HomeAdvisor
Travel or mileage outside the service area	$50 to $200	HomeAdvisor
Crane	$250 to $600 a day	HomeAdvisor

For stumps, LawnStarter adds that many companies charge $2 to $5 per inch of diameter with a minimum around $100, that hardwoods like oak add $50 to $150 per stump, and that extra stumps after the first cost much less.

What moves the price up or down

Access. HomeAdvisor says a tricky location can add 25% to 50%. A tree in a fenced backyard with no gate wide enough for equipment means more hand work.
Condition. A rotted, leaning or neglected tree may need extra rigging before anyone cuts, according to HomeAdvisor.
What's underneath. Branches near structures have to be lowered by rope. A tree over a roof costs more than the same tree in open ground.
Power lines. Trees near lines need utility coordination and special precautions. In Texas, only work arranged with the line's owner can come within six feet of a high-voltage line.
Number of trees. HomeAdvisor says many companies charge less per tree when they take down several at once.
Timing. HomeAdvisor says emergency rates spike after big storms, when crews are in high demand. For oaks, the February-through-June no-wound window can push non-urgent work later.
Permits. HomeAdvisor budgets $60 to $150 for tree permits where they're required. In Tyler, the tree preservation section covers multifamily, commercial, office and manufacturing districts, so most single-family homeowners don't pay one. Clearing an undeveloped site needs a clearing and grading permit.

What disposal costs in Tyler

If the company leaves the brush with you, City of Tyler rules decide what happens next:

What you have	City of Tyler handling
Bundled limbs, under 50 lb together and under 4 ft	Picked up at no charge
Brush that's unbundled, over 4 ft or over 50 lb ("bulk brush")	Special pick-up, from $20, priced by size and quantity
Tree stumps, or more than 25 bags of leaves	Special pick-up, priced by size and quantity
Your own trailer load	Greenwood Farms Landfill, FM 2767; Tyler residents bring a current utility bill; loads must be covered

Bulk brush doesn't count toward the two free bulky pickups each household gets per year. Keep brush in its own pile, at least two feet from household bulk items.

Ways to keep the bill down

Do the cleanup yourself. HomeAdvisor suggests hauling the debris yourself to save on labor and hauling fees. Cut limbs into 4-foot lengths and bundles under 50 pounds, and the City of Tyler takes them at no charge.
Group the work. HomeAdvisor says many companies charge less per tree for several trees at once, and LawnStarter says each extra stump costs far less than the first.
Keep the wood. If you want firewood, ask for the logs cut to length and left, instead of paying to haul them.
Schedule non-urgent work away from storm cleanups, when crews are busiest.
Compare the same scope. Ask every company to list the stump, chipping, hauling and cleanup separately.

Does insurance pay?

The Texas Department of Insurance says many homeowners policies pay for damage from falling trees, and many provide some coverage to remove storm-felled trees that damage the house or block the driveway. Trees that fall only in the yard usually aren't covered. See emergency tree removal for the full TDI guidance.

How we got these numbers

Sources. HomeAdvisor's tree removal cost page (updated June 19, 2026), LawnStarter's tree trimming (September 24, 2026), stump grinding and land clearing guides (October 5, 2026), and Fixr's tree trimming guide. Each was opened and checked in October 2026. City disposal rules come from the City of Tyler's own pages.
National vs. local. These guides publish national ranges. LawnStarter's Texas data point is Houston, not Tyler. We didn't find a published Tyler price survey we could verify, so we don't quote one.
Why local quotes differ. A Tyler quote reflects your tree's height and condition, what's under it, how far the crew drives, whether the stump and hauling are included, and how busy companies are after a storm.
What we left out. Forum threads and single-company price lists, because we can't check them.

We review this page when the sources update. The date at the bottom shows the last real change.
