Tree service companies don't directly calculate the cost based on every foot of a tree, but tree size is a major factor. Here's what they consider when estimating the removal of a 50-foot pine tree:
Size: A 50-foot pine falls into the "large tree" category, which generally costs more to remove than smaller trees. This is because it takes more time, labor, and potentially specialized equipment to bring down a large tree safely.
Accessibility: The location of the tree matters. If the pine tree is in an open area, it's easier to access with equipment compared to a tree surrounded by power lines, buildings, or other obstacles. Difficult access often requires more manual labor or renting special equipment, increasing the cost.
Removal method: For a 50-foot pine, they may need to bring the tree down in sections using climbing techniques and lowering large branches with ropes. Cranes or aerial lifts might be necessary for some removals, adding to the cost.
Disposal: Hauling away the large sections of the tree and branches is factored in, along with chipping up any leftover debris.
