Your neighbor just had a dying maple removed for what sounded like a fortune. How much should you expect to pay? Below we break down current Indianapolis price ranges, explain every cost factor, and show you how ProFinish keeps projects affordable and safe.
Average 2025 Price Range
| Tree height | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Under 30 ft | $400–$500 | Small ornamental or fruit trees |
| 30–50 ft | $650–$1,200 | Most suburban shade trees |
| 50 ft + | $1,300–$1,900 | Large oaks, tulip poplars, pines |
Figures are based on recent Indianapolis market data and homeowner reports.
Why Costs Vary
- Location on lot (near power lines = extra rigging)
- Tree condition (dead or rotted trunks need cranes)
- Emergency timing (after a storm, crews work overtime)
- Stump grinding and debris haul-off add line items
Money-Saving Tips
- Bundle services. Combine removal with stump grinding for one mobilization fee.
- Schedule in winter. Demand dips after leaves drop, so crews discount.
- Keep the wood. Let us cut logs to firewood size and save on haul-off.
When to Call a Pro Instead of DIY
Chainsaw accidents send thousands to the ER yearly. If the tree is taller than your house, touching a structure, or you lack liability insurance, hire a certified, insured team like ProFinish.
FAQs
How long does removal take? Most jobs wrap in one day, though crane work can add time.
Do I need a permit inside Indy city limits? Only if the tree sits in the public right-of-way; private-property trees typically need none.
