How to choose a tree removal company in Abilene
- Check the city rules first: what Abilene will pick up at the curb, and whether the tree needs a permit (both below).
- Shortlist two or three local tree companies and ask whether they take down trees of your tree's size and type.
- Ask for a written price that says what's included: felling, hauling the wood, and grinding the stump.
- Ask whether a certified arborist will look at the tree, especially if it leans over the house or a power line.
- Agree on the date, how the crew will protect your lawn and fences, and what happens to the logs and chips.
Typical tree removal cost
Removing a tree typically costs $400 to $1,200, with a national average around $850; a small, easy-to-reach tree can be about $200 and a large or complex removal up to about $3,000. Height, trunk width, wood type, access and hauling the wood away all change the price.

Questions to ask before you hire
- Is the price fixed, and does it include hauling the wood and grinding the stump?
- Who climbs or runs the bucket truck, and is anyone a certified arborist?
- Do you carry liability insurance and workers' compensation, in case of damage or an injury on my property?
- Will you handle any city permit, and the utility if the tree is near a line?
- What will be left behind: logs, chips, sawdust?
