What Affects the Price
- Tree Size and Height : Larger trees and those requiring specialized equipment or climbing techniques cost more to remove or trim safely. A 30-foot oak requires different resources than a 15-foot ornamental tree.
- Accessibility and Location : Trees near power lines, structures, or in tight spaces require more careful planning and time. Easy-access trees in open yards are typically less expensive to service.
- Emergency or After-Hours Service : Storm damage or urgent tree removal outside regular business hours may include additional fees. We offer emergency tree service to keep your property safe when you need us most.
- Debris Removal and Cleanup : Hauling away branches, logs, and wood chips adds to the total cost. Some customers choose to keep wood for mulch or firewood, which can reduce pricing.

Pricing FAQ
Why do tree service prices vary so much between companies?
Pricing depends on company experience, equipment quality, insurance coverage, and crew expertise. Modesto Tree Service invests in professional-grade equipment and experienced arborists to ensure safe, quality work. The lowest bid isn't always the best value if the company lacks proper insurance or experience.
Do you really offer free estimates for tree removal?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for tree removal, emergency tree service, and land clearing. Simply call (209) 554-6358 to schedule your appointment. Our arborists will evaluate your specific situation and provide a detailed price quote.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, credit cards, and debit cards. For larger projects, we're happy to discuss payment options. Contact us at (209) 554-6358 to arrange the best payment plan for your budget.
Can you provide a discount if I have multiple trees trimmed at once?
Absolutely. Servicing multiple trees in one visit saves time and equipment setup costs, which often allows us to offer better pricing. Discuss your full project scope during your free estimate for potential savings.
What's included in your stump grinding price?
Our stump grinding service starts at $150 and includes grinding the stump below ground level. The final price depends on stump size, root depth, and soil conditions. We'll provide a specific quote after assessing your stump.
