Tree service pricing in North Alabama is rarely a flat number — it depends on the tree's size, where it's growing, what's underneath it, and how the wood will leave the property. The table below shows the typical ranges we quote on residential jobs in Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, Athens, and the surrounding communities. Use it as a budgeting guide, then call us for a free written estimate on your specific tree.
We have served the Huntsville area since 2004, and we built our reputation on honest, itemized quoting. You will never be hit with a "we found more work" charge on the back end. The price we write down before we start is the price you pay — full stop.

What Affects Your Final Price
Access. A tree we can drive a bucket truck to costs less than one that has to be climbed and hand-rigged. Backyard trees with fence-line access are usually middle of the range; trees in tight courtyards with no side-yard access run higher.
Targets underneath. A pine in an open field comes down faster (and cheaper) than the same pine over a roof, where each limb has to be roped down to avoid damage.
Disposal. If you want firewood-length wood left on site, the price drops. If you want every twig hauled off, the price goes up — usually $100–$300 depending on volume.
Stump grinding. Almost always cheaper if done same-day during the removal, since the crew and equipment are already on site.
Permits. Most private residential trees in Huntsville do not require a permit. Trees in the city right-of-way, in historic districts, or on commercial properties sometimes do. We handle the research and any permit fees.
