Every job is unique, so we provide free, detailed estimates rather than one-size-fits-all pricing. The main factors:

Severity and how the tree fell (on structures, lines, or open ground)
Time of day and access for crews and equipment
Whether BC Hydro must de-energize lines first
Rigging needed to remove weight safely from a structure
Cleanup, hauling, and follow-up removal of the remaining stem
