For 2026, most Connecticut homeowners pay within these ranges for a complete removal — cutting, hauling, and cleanup included. Size is the biggest driver, but access, species, and how close the tree stands to your house or the power lines move the number.
Typically $500–$900 for a small ornamental or young tree with clear access and nothing underneath it.
Typically $900–$1,500. The most common Hartford County job — a mature maple or oak in a normal yard.
Typically $1,500–$2,400, and more with a crane, tight access, or a tree leaning over a roof.
Typically $150–$400 per stump depending on diameter and depth. Ground 6–8 inches below grade so you can replant or reseed.
Storm or hazard work often runs about 1.5× the standard rate for after-hours and hazardous conditions. A tree on a house or across a driveway is not a wait-until-Monday job.
Crane access, proximity to structures and lines, dead or brittle wood (especially emerald ash borer ash), and haul-away distance. A written quote should itemize these — not bury them.

The trees that fail in winter are usually identifiable in fall. Wet snow and ice load weak limbs, and a tree with a crack, a lean, or a dead crown in October is a worse bet by February. Homeowners who act in fall get three advantages: crews have real availability before storm season, hazard work can be scheduled rather than done as an emergency at 1.5× the price, and the yard is clear before snow makes access harder.
