Tree trimming cost per hour

Most tree services quote per tree or per job, not by the hour. Homeyou’s Jonesboro breakdown for one medium tree assumes about 2 hours of labor at $269 to $393, plus $92 to $144 for equipment, and lists emergency trimming at about $250 per hour. If a company does quote by the hour, ask how many people are on the crew and whether cleanup and hauling are included in that time.

How much does it cost to trim 3 trees?

Using the Jonesboro medium-tree range, three medium trees would be about $1,083 to $1,611 before any discount. Many companies charge less per tree when they trim several on one visit, because the crew and equipment are already there, so ask for a multi-tree price. Three small ornamental trees can cost far less; three tall oaks over the roof can cost more.

Oak vs. pine: does the tree type change the price?

Yes. Lawn Love notes that some species, including oak, have wider price ranges than others. In Jonesboro yards, broad post oaks and southern red oaks with long, heavy limbs over a roof take the most time and rigging. Tall loblolly pines usually need less pruning but height can mean a bucket truck. Oaks should also be pruned in the dormant season to lower the risk of oak wilt, which affects when you can book the work. See the best time to trim trees in Arkansas.

What changes the cost of tree trimming

  • Height and spread: taller trees need climbing or a bucket truck.
  • What’s underneath: limbs over a roof, fence or power lines have to be lowered on ropes.
  • Tree health: lots of dead wood or pest damage takes longer, Lawn Love notes.
  • Access: a backyard with no gate means carrying every branch out by hand.
  • Cleanup: chipping and hauling the brush costs more than leaving it.
  • Timing: Lawn Love notes companies may raise prices in busy seasons and after big storms.

How to pay less for tree trimming

  • Trim several trees on one visit and ask for a multi-tree price.
  • Book before storm season, rather than paying emergency rates after limbs break.
  • Keep the brush small enough for the City of Jonesboro’s free curbside limb pickup: pieces up to 10 feet long and 8 inches across.
  • Compare written quotes for the same trees and cleanup. Use the quote comparison checklist.
