What does a tree service quote have to show?
A tree quote should read like a menu, not a lump sum. The client sees what each piece of the job costs. You see where the money is made or lost.
| Quote line | What it has to show |
|---|---|
| Removal or trim | Which one, plus tree height and species if you know it. |
| Stump grinding | Its own line, with the stump diameter and grind depth. |
| Haul-off and debris | Wood, brush, and chips hauled away, or left on site. |
| Crane or bucket truck | The day rate for the lift, when the yard needs one. |
| Permit | A permit line, when your city requires one. Check your city. |
| Photos of the tree | Where the tree stands, what is under it, and what is nearby. |
Six lines, one clear quote.

How is a removal quote different from a trim quote?
A trim is priced by tree height and how much comes off. Our tree trimming cost guide reads one tree service’s posted tiers (Monkeyman’s Tree Service, captured September 5, 2026).
Under 30 feet: $75 to $450. Over 80 feet: $1,000 to $2,500 or more.
A removal adds the work of getting the whole tree down. It adds rigging, a crew, and a trip to the yard. Quote the two as separate jobs, even on one property.
How should you price stump grinding and haul-off?
Give the stump its own line. Our stump grinding cost guide reads tree services’ posted cards. They run $250 to $2,500 or more per stump by diameter. Sound Tree Care has a $400 call-out minimum (card dated June 27, 2026).
Haul-off is a separate line too. List the wood, the brush, and the chips. See also tree trimming cost per tree.
What about crane or bucket truck access?
Tight yards change the price. Put the lift on the quote as its own line.
Our tree removal cost guide lists a 45 ft towable lift at $300 a day. From TC Rentals, read September 11, 2026.
