Hello all,
This (used to be) standing dead pine in my neighbour’s yard finally got toppled by a storm that blew through over the last couple of days. We got extremely lucky – it fell away from all the houses and missed our shed by about 6 feet, squishing just one small section of our chainlink. Plus, earlier this year I’d removed some Black Walnut, Crab Apple and Maple limbs from the path it would have travelled toward the ground.
I spent a few hours today with a hatchet, a pruning saw and a bow saw tidying it up, I’ll take care of the rest over the next few days and it got me wondering, how much would a tree service charge for this sort of thing – processing and removing the fallen tree?
My neighbour is great and they had to leave town in kind of a hurry a couple months back to look after their parents a couple of hours away, so I’m not looking to invoice them or anything, I’m just curious really.
Thanks in advance!

The numbers vary wildly depending on the company and resources you have in your area, there’s no real way to know without actually having them come over. If I were you I’d just take the free firewood though, people pay a lot for that
I run my company in Eastern Ontario in a heavily saturated market. Here is how I would price it:
Primarily this is going to depend on access. It looks like a double wide gate with easy access to parking.
Not a huge tree but lots of branches. Wood is small enough that I could chip it all. So no extra trips for the wood.
I’d probably ball park it at $750-$1,000 + hst depending on how close to the shop the job was.
Edit: All that being said, this job doesn’t need a tree company. A landscaping company or even a handy man could tackle this for much less.
Ballpark $600 maybe 700
the stump removal would be about 300 tree removal would be 600-900 depending on how far you were from us
Damn your a good neighbor
