Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Removal & Trimming in Denver, CO
How much does tree removal cost?
Small tree removal (under 25 ft) runs $250—$600. Medium trees (25—75 ft) average $600—$1,500. Large or hazardous trees (over 75 ft) can cost $1,500—$4,000+. Stump grinding adds $100—$400. Factors include tree height, diameter, location, and crane requirements.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on your city. Many municipalities require permits for trees over a certain diameter (typically 6—12 inches DBH) or for trees in protected zones (heritage trees, waterfront). Your arborist or tree service should know local regulations and help you pull permits when required.
When is the best time to remove a tree?
Late fall or winter is generally best — trees are dormant, the ground is firm, and landscaping is less vulnerable to damage from equipment. However, hazardous trees should be removed immediately regardless of season.
What is the difference between tree removal and tree trimming?
Tree removal means cutting down and removing the entire tree. Tree trimming (also called pruning) removes specific branches for safety, health, clearance, or aesthetics while keeping the tree intact. Trimming costs $250—$900 for most residential trees.
Should I remove a tree that is leaning?
A leaning tree isn't always dangerous — many naturally grow at an angle. However, sudden lean changes, exposed roots on one side, cracks in the soil around the base, or dead/diseased wood are signs of imminent failure. Have a certified arborist (ISA credential) assess it.
