Frequently Asked Questions

What affects the cost to remove a tree? +

The main factors are tree size (height and trunk diameter), location hazards like proximity to power lines or structures, access difficulty for equipment, tree condition, and debris handling preferences. Larger trees in tight spaces near buildings will cost significantly more than small trees in open yards.

How do I estimate tree height and trunk diameter? +

For height, compare the tree to nearby objects of known height like your house (typically 20-30 feet for two stories). For trunk diameter, measure the circumference at chest height (about 4.5 feet from ground) and divide by 3.14. Don’t worry about being exact—our estimator works with approximate values.

What happens to the stump after tree removal? +

DreamTeam Tree Service focuses on safe, professional tree removal. The stump will remain after the tree is removed. If you need the stump removed, we can recommend trusted partners who specialize in stump grinding services.

When is a crane needed for tree removal? +

Cranes are used when trees cannot be safely climbed or when there’s no space for pieces to fall safely. Common scenarios include large dead trees, trees overhanging homes with no drop zone, or trees in extremely tight spaces. While cranes add significant cost, they often make difficult removals safer and faster.

Can you remove a tree near power lines? +

Yes, but it requires special precautions and often coordination with your utility company. Only qualified professionals should work near power lines. The utility may need to de-energize lines or be on-site during removal. This adds cost and scheduling complexity but is essential for safety.
