Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to cut down a 100 ft tree?

Cutting down a 100-foot tall tree could cost anywhere from $1,200 to $3,000 or more depending on some factors such as the type of tree, how easily the tree can be accessed by the arborist, and or use of a tree crane. The average cost for a smaller 30 foot tree removal is around $400 bucks.

Obviously, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 foot tall trees would be less expensive to cut down and remove from the site. Trees that are between 30 and 60 feet high are the norm for removal but Connecticut Tree Care has cut down much taller trees with the use of our awesome tree crane. The tallest tree on record we have removed, was a 125 foot tall Norway Maple. Wow! Call Right Now! (860) 485-7589

The most accurate way for you to get a firm contract price is to contact your Central Connecticut tree removal company and schedule an appointment for an inspection and on site assessment of the tree(s) in question.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Differences: Tree trimming involves removing smaller branches and shoots to maintain the overall shape of the tree, while tree pruning involves removing larger branches to promote the growth and health of the tree. Pruning is also implemented to remove fungal diseased, pest infected, or dead branches of a tree.

What time of year is cheapest to get trees cut down or removed?

The best time to remove deciduous (leaf-bearing) trees in Southern Connecticut is during the winter months when the trees are dormant. Evergreens, also known as coniferous trees, never really go into dormancy but they do lose their needles throughout the varying seasons in the state.

Do tree companies need to be insured?

Yes, tree companies in all eight counties of the state typically need to have insurance, such as liability and workers compensation insurance, to protect themselves, their employees and customers from any potential liability, harm or damages caused by the work they perform. Some local jurisdictions also require licensed tree trimming contractors to have insurance as a requirement for obtaining both a local and state registered license and certification. Certified arborists also need to meet their own standards.

What is the cost for stump grinding or removal?

The cost for stump grinding typically ranges from $160 to $480, depending on its size and location on your property. Stump grinding prices vary throughout the New Haven County area. If you can hire a stump removal contractor in Western Connecticut, that would be even better due to less travel time from their garage in the Naugatuck River Valley to your home could end up saving you a few bucks!

Connecticut Tree Care uses primarily Bandit brand stump grinding machines for customers that can’t afford or don’t require a complete stump removal. A complete stump removal including the root system would warrant the use of our excavator or large backhoe to do the job.

The average cost to totally remove a stump in Connecticut would be from $450 to $1,150 depending on the diameter, number, and physical location of your stump(s). Contact Us for a FREE No-Obligation Price Quote!

How much would it cost to prune and shape a fruit tree?

Pruning a fruit tree can cost anywhere from $125 to $575, depending on the size, current health, and species of fruit-bearing tree. Larger apple trees such as Delicious, Macintosh and Macoun species can cost slightly more to prune due to the added height of those types of fruit bearing trees.

Is it cheaper to trim a tree or cut it all the way down?

Generally speaking, it’s less expensive to trim a tree than to completely remove or cut it down, but if it needs to be trimmed or reshaped by a Connecticut arborist every three or four years, it is going to be cheaper in the long run to remove the entire tree right from the start! Just like the old FRAM Oil filter ads on television in the 1970s used to say, “You Can Pay Me Now, Or Pay Me Later!”

Does cutting down a tree increase my property value?

Cutting down a tree in Western Connecticut may increase your home’s value if it is dead, unhealthy, a danger to people and pets, or obstructing a street view, but it can also decrease your property value if it was a healthy tree that provided shade, privacy, or property aesthetics. Be prudent when making the decision to remove one of your trees. In the long run, you don’t want to end up being “penny-wise” and “pound-foolish”!
