Tree Removal in Canyon County

When a tree should come down

• It’s dead, or more than half the branches are bare in summer.
• It leans more than it used to, or the soil is cracking or lifting on one side.
• There are deep cracks in the trunk, or mushrooms growing at the base.
• It’s growing into the house, the roof, a fence or a power line.

What affects the price

• Size: taller and wider trees take more time and gear.
• What’s underneath: a tree over a house, shop or fence has to come down in small pieces.
• Access: whether a truck and chipper can get close, or everything gets carried out by hand.
• Cleanup: hauling away the wood, chipping the branches, and grinding the stump are often priced separately.
• Power lines nearby: those need the utility involved first.

Before the crew comes

• Ask whether the price includes hauling and stump grinding.
• Ask to see proof of insurance.
• In Caldwell, check that the crew is on the city’s approved tree trimmer list.
