One of the most common questions homeowners ask before calling a tree company is a simple one: what is this going to cost? The honest answer depends on what you need done, the size and condition of the tree, and a handful of job-specific factors that only become clear once someone looks at the property.
This guide covers realistic price ranges for every major service we offer at Pro Finish Tree Care, what drives costs up or down, and what you should watch out for when comparing quotes across companies.
We serve homeowners and businesses across Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Greenwood, and the wider Central Indiana area. All of the figures below reflect what jobs typically run in this region.
Tree Removal Cost in Indiana
Tree removal is the most requested service we handle. Pricing on our Indianapolis tree care page covers this in more detail, but here is a general breakdown by tree size.
| Tree Size | Typical Price Range |
| Small (under 30 ft) – ornamentals, young trees | $150 to $450 |
| Medium (30 to 60 ft) – mature shade trees | $450 to $900 |
| Large (60 to 80 ft) – oaks, maples, large pines | $900 to $1,500 |
| Very large (over 80 ft) or complex removal | $1,500 to $2,500+ |
These are starting-point ranges, not firm quotes. The real price depends on the following factors.
What makes tree removal more expensive
- Location and access: a tree in a tight backyard reachable only through a narrow gate costs more than one with direct equipment access from the street
- Proximity to structures: trees leaning over roofs, fences, or power lines require controlled sectional removal, which takes longer
- Health and condition: dead or rotted trees are less predictable when cut and require extra caution
- Multiple trunks: each trunk is assessed and removed separately
- After-hours or emergency response: same-day or overnight calls carry a premium
We offer free on-site estimates for all tree removal jobs across our service area. No phone quotes, no surprises on billing day.

Tree Trimming and Pruning Cost
Regular trimming keeps trees healthy, improves their shape, and reduces the chance of limb failure during storms. Pricing varies by tree size, the number of trees, and how much work each one needs.
| Service Type | Typical Price Range |
| Small tree trim (under 30 ft) | $75 to $250 |
| Medium tree trim (30 to 60 ft) | $250 to $500 |
| Large tree trim (60+ ft) | $500 to $1,000+ |
| Crown thinning or structural pruning | Varies by tree size and complexity |
Most healthy trees benefit from professional trimming every three to five years. If you have multiple trees that need attention, bundling the work in a single visit almost always reduces the per-tree cost.
We serve trimming clients across Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Greenwood, and throughout Marion County. If you are not sure whether your trees need trimming, we are happy to walk the property and advise.
Stump Grinding and Stump Removal Cost
Stump grinding is almost always a separate line item from tree removal, and it is one of the most frequently overlooked costs when homeowners budget for a job. Our stump grinding service page covers the full details, but here is the short version.
| Service | Typical Price Range |
| Stump grinding (per stump) | $75 to $200 |
| Multiple stumps (same visit) | Discounted per-stump rate |
| Full stump and root extraction | $200 to $500+ depending on root mass |
Grinding vs. full removal: which do you need
Stump grinding takes the stump below grade and lets the roots decompose naturally over time. It is the right choice for most residential jobs and is significantly less expensive than full extraction.
Full stump and root removal is necessary when you are planning construction, laying a new foundation, or replanting in the same spot. It is more labor-intensive and requires more equipment, so the price reflects that.
If you are unsure which option fits your situation, we will walk through it with you at the free estimate. No pressure either way.
Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup Cost
Emergency tree removal is priced differently than scheduled work, and understandably so. Our storm damage cleanup service page explains our 24/7 response process in full.
Factors that affect emergency pricing specifically:
- Time of day and day of week: after-hours and weekend calls involve overtime labor
- Severity and complexity: a limb on a fence is a different job than a 70-foot oak through a roof
- Equipment required: jobs needing a crane or aerial lift cost more than chainsaw-only work
- Debris volume: more debris means more hauling
If a fallen tree has caused structural damage to your home, your homeowners insurance may cover all or part of the removal cost. We provide written estimates, job photos, and documentation formatted to support insurance claims. Keep that in mind before paying out of pocket.

Land Clearing Cost
Land clearing covers a wide range of work, from removing a few trees to prepare for a pool or addition, to clearing an entire lot for new construction. Pricing varies more than any other service because the scope can vary so much.
| Project Type | Typical Price Range |
| Small residential clearing (under quarter acre) | $500 to $2,000 |
| Medium lot clearing (quarter to half acre) | $2,000 to $6,000 |
| Large or commercial clearing | Custom quote based on scope |
Land clearing typically includes tree removal, stump grinding, brush removal, and debris hauling. Some projects also involve grading or topsoil work, which may bring in additional contractors.
We handle residential and commercial land clearing across Central Indiana, and we are happy to do a free walk-through and quote on any size project.
What Is Never Included in a Reputable Quote
A few things that should not appear in a quote from a trustworthy company:
- Vague line items with no description of what is included
- A price given over the phone without anyone seeing the tree
- A requirement to pay a large deposit before work begins
- No written estimate at all
Every quote from Pro Finish Tree Care is provided in writing, given after an in-person assessment, and covers exactly what is included. We are a veteran-owned, family-operated business that has served this community since 2019. Our reputation depends on straightforward pricing.

We serve all of the following communities with the same pricing standards and the same crew:
Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Greenwood, Fortville, McCordsville, New Palestine, Greenfield, and surrounding Central Indiana communities.
If your town is not listed, call us. We serve a wide area and are often able to accommodate locations not listed on the website.

Frequently Asked Questions: Tree Service Pricing
Why do tree removal prices vary so much between companies?
Insurance, equipment, crew experience, and included services all differ. A low quote from an uninsured crew that drops the tree without rigging can easily result in property damage that costs more to repair than the price difference. Always ask for proof of insurance before work begins.
Is stump grinding always extra?
With most companies, yes. Always confirm whether stump removal is included in the tree removal quote. At Pro Finish Tree Care, stump grinding is a separate line item so you know exactly what you are paying for each service.
Can I get a price over the phone?
We do not give firm prices over the phone because the actual cost depends on factors we can only assess in person. We will come to you for a free on-site estimate, which is always the fastest path to an accurate number.
Do you offer discounts for multiple trees?
Yes. If multiple trees need removal or trimming on the same property, we are typically able to offer a lower per-tree rate because crew mobilization and equipment setup happen once. Ask us about this when you schedule your estimate.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major payment methods. Ask about options when you schedule your estimate or contact us directly at (317) 910-9563.
