If you are staring at a tall oak, ash, or maple and trying to guess what removal will cost, this guide breaks it down in plain language. Prices below are ballpark ranges for the White Bear Lake area. Your exact quote depends on the tree, the property, and the crew access. ## Typical Tree Removal Costs Near White Bear Lake Tree Size Typical Height Ballpark Cost Range Small tree Under 30 ft $300 – $700 Medium tree 30 – 60 ft $700 – $1,500 Large tree 60 – 80 ft $1,500 – $3,000 Very large tree 80 – 100 ft $2,500 – $5,000+ 100+ ft tree 100 ft and up $4,000 – $10,000+ These ranges reflect common jobs in the East Metro. A free on-site estimate is the only way to pin down your exact price. ## What Drives Tree Removal Cost? Several factors move the number up or down. Think of them as the "difficulty" rating for your job. ### Height and trunk size Taller, thicker trees take longer to cut, rig, and lower safely. ### Proximity to structures Trees near homes, garages, fences, or power lines need careful sectioning. ### Tree condition Dead, rotten, or storm-damaged trees can be brittle and harder to control. ### Crew and equipment access Tight gates, steep slopes, long carries, and limited truck access add time. ### Scope of cleanup Hauling wood, chipping brush, stump grinding, and raking all affect the total. ### Urgency Same-day or after-hours emergency removal costs more than a scheduled job. ## Extra Costs to Consider The base price covers cutting the tree, lowering it safely, and standard cleanup. These items are usually quoted separately: - **Stump grinding:** $150 – $500 per stump, depending on size and depth. - **Full stump removal:** $300 – $1,000+ because it pulls the stump and roots out. - **Log hauling / wood removal:** extra if you want the wood gone rather than cut and left onsite. - **Brush chipping and full cleanup:** sometimes bundled, sometimes separate. - **Permit assistance:** rare, but some cities require a permit for certain trees. ## Why A Cut Above for Large Tree Removal?
