What changes the price
Diameter & height
The single biggest driver. A 30-inch stump or a 60-foot tree takes far longer than a small one, and labor is most of the bill.
Access
Open yards with truck access are cheapest. Tight gates, fenced backyards, and wet ground push toward hand work and add time.
Proximity & hazard
A tree over the roof, near a fence, or next to a power line needs careful sectional removal and can add $200 to $1,000+.
Permits: stump grinding rarely needs one, but removal can. Fort Worth requires a permit for removing trees over 8 inches in diameter in development areas, and Plano, Frisco, McKinney and many HOAs have their own rules. We help you confirm before scheduling.
Pricing questions
How much does tree stump removal cost in DFW?
Grinding averages about $4.50 per inch of diameter with a $125 minimum, so most single stumps run $90 to $250. Full root extraction, which is rarely necessary, costs two to three times more.
How much does tree removal cost in DFW?
Roughly $300 to $700 for a small tree, $700 to $1,500 for a medium tree, and $1,500 to $3,000+ for a large one. Hazard, access, and proximity to structures move the final number.
Why can I book stump grinding online but not tree removal?
Stump grinding is standardized: price is almost entirely diameter, so we can quote it exactly. Tree removal depends on height, lean, access, and hazards that we need to see, so a photo or site visit gives you an honest price instead of a padded flat rate.
