Oak Tree Removal Cost

Oak is a dense hardwood, so for a given height and diameter it costs more to remove than a softwood like pine or a light species like palm. Here's what that looks like across a realistic size range, at open, easy access.

Tree height	Typical trunk diameter	Estimated cost
20 ft	~12 in	$279–$426
30 ft	~16 in	$455–$695
40 ft	~19 in	$644–$982
50 ft	~22 in	$850–$1,297
60 ft	~25 in	$1,074–$1,640
80 ft	~32 in	$1,602–$2,446
100 ft	~38 in	$2,635–$4,035 (crane fee included)

What moves the price beyond this table

• Accessibility — near a structure, fence, or power line adds 25-50%+ over open, easy access.
• Stump removal — usually a separate line item; see the stump removal cost page.
• Local labor rates — tree service rates vary meaningfully by region; these ranges are national.
• Multiple trees — per-tree cost often drops if you're having several removed at once.
