What arborists charge for pruning, canopy shaping, and tree removal — and how neighborhood groups save on tree work.
Typical market rate when booking individually
Basic pruning/trimming: $150-500 per tree. Full tree removal: $400-2,000+ depending on size and location. Stump grinding adds $75-300 per stump.
DIY is fine for small branches you can reach from the ground. Hire a professional for: branches near power lines, limbs over 4 inches in diameter, trees taller than 20 feet, or any work requiring climbing.
Arborists save enormously on mobilization costs (getting trucks, chippers, and crew to a site) when they can serve multiple homes in one area. NeighborPool tree trimming events typically save 30-38% versus individual bookings.
