What is the Tree Removal Cost by Tree Size?

Tree removal costs in Northwest Louisiana are primarily determined by the height and size of the tree. Based on regional averages and guidelines from Miller Tree Service, the estimated costs are broken down as follows:

• Small trees (under 30 feet): Typically range from $300 to $700. In specific areas like Shreveport, these may start as low as $300, while in Mansfield, they may reach up to $800.
• Medium trees (30 to 60 feet): Generally cost between $700 and $1,500. Some estimates for this size range can reach up to $3,000 depending on the tree diameter and complexity of the job.
• Large trees (over 60 feet): Costs typically start at $1,200 to $1,500 and can exceed $3,000 for very large specimens.

Other size-related factors include the tree diameter at breast height (DBH), measured 4.5 feet above the ground. For example, a 30-inch DBH oak will cost significantly more than a 12-inch sapling. Additionally, trees over 50 feet often require specialized rigging or cranes, which can increase the base cost by 20% to 50%.
