Typical Spokane tree work runs $150 to $3,000+ depending on size and access — that's a cited market range, not a quote. No two trees price identically, so the firm number comes from a free estimate — call (509) 632-4080.
A tree removal is priced like the physics problem it is. A 25-foot ornamental in open lawn is a morning's work. An 85-foot ponderosa leaning over your roofline has to be climbed, cut in sections, and every piece roped down past your shingles — same species, very different invoice.
| Tree Height | How Pricing Works |
|---|---|
| Small tree, under 30 ft | $150–$450 |
| Medium tree, 30–60 ft | $450–$900 |
| Large tree, 60–80 ft | $900–$1,800 |
| Very large tree, 80 ft+ | $1,800–$3,000+ |
Beyond height, the number moves with lean, trunk diameter, what sits inside the drop zone, and how close a truck and chipper can park. Stump grinding is a separate add-on, covered below. The full breakdown lives on our tree removal page.
Trimming prices track three things: how big the tree is, how much is coming out of the crown, and whether the work needs a lift or a climber, and the exact number comes from a free estimate:
| Tree Size | How Pricing Works |
|---|---|
| Small trees under 20 ft (ornamentals, lilacs, young fruit trees) | $250–$350 |
| Medium trees 20–40 ft (birch, aspen, mature fruit trees) | $350–$500 |
| Large trees 40–60 ft (cottonwood, large pine, mature maple) | $500–$650 |
| Very large or difficult-access trees (over 60 ft, tight access) | $650–$700+ |
One dead limb, one branch scraping the gutters — those jobs sit at the bottom of the trimming range and get the same free, on-site estimate as anything else, whether the branch is reachable on a small or medium tree or it's a heavy limb high in a mature tree that has to be roped down in pieces. Around here the smart move is thinning weak and storm-loaded branches before winter: every pound of wood you take off in October is a pound the ice can't grab in January.

First, the vocabulary trap: when most homeowners search "stump removal cost," the service they actually want is stump grinding — the grinder chews the stump into chips 6 to 12 inches below grade and the spot goes back to being lawn. Full removal, digging the entire root ball out of the ground, costs significantly more and only earns its keep when you're pouring concrete or building directly over the footprint.
For grinding, diameter is the biggest lever, and the exact number comes from a free estimate:
| Stump Size | How Pricing Works |
|---|---|
| Small stumps, up to 12 inches diameter | $150–$250 |
| Medium stumps, 12–24 inches diameter | $250–$350 |
| Large stumps, over 24 inches (cottonwood, large pine) | $350–$450 |
Grinding a stump often gets folded into a removal while the crew and grinder are already on your property. Ask about multiple stumps in one visit when you call. Details on our stump grinding page.
Your tree's price lands where it lands based on a short list of factors. Knowing them ahead of time means the estimate won't surprise you:
