Average Cost for Tree Removal in Albuquerque
You have to be careful getting quotes for tree removals online. TreeRemoval.com states the cost to remove a tree in Albuquerque is between $300 and $450, which is inaccurate.
Roughly speaking, removing a tree in Albuquerque costs between $800 and $2000. Many factors determine this price which I have outlined below.
Factors Influencing Tree Removal Cost
Size of the Tree: This factor is self-explanatory; the larger the tree the more work it will take to remove it from your yard.
Tree Condition: The structural integrity of a tree can impact how easily the tree can be removed. A tree that is partially leaning because of a storm is more dangerous for climbers and will take longer to safely rope. A tree that has fallen completely is easier to remove because less equipment is required to process the limbs and trunk.
Location: The proximity of your tree to buildings, fences, pools, or utility lines has a large impact on how expensive the tree will be to remove. Take two extreme examples:
- Removing a tree in a field with nothing around it is simple and cheap.
- A tree under a powerline, overhanging a pool on one side and a neighbor’s roof on the other will require complicated rig lines and careful cuts to remove fully. The price impact is large with this tree.
Accessibility: This is a major factor for the price of a tree removal. If branches and logs can easily be removed from the yard, the price will be cheaper. For example, a tree next to a street is much cheaper to remove than a tree in a backyard with no road access.
Tools and machines required: Some tree removals require the use of a crane or boom lift. Smaller trees may only require a ground crew with some chainsaws. The bigger machinery your tree requires, the higher the cost will be to remove it.
When You Should Consider Tree Removal
Should you have your tree removed?
If your tree poses a significant threat to nearby structures or people, you may want to have it removed. In some cases, professional pruning can remove the risk.
In the case of severe lightning or wind damage, it may be 100% necessary to have your tree removed if the damage to the main leader of the tree is significant.
What if your tree has a few dead limbs, the tips of the tree are dying, or there are some patches of brown leaves or needles? A full removal may not be necessary. Sometimes pruning can restore a tree’s health.
