Tree Removal Cost by Size in Richmond, KY

Tree removal cost in Richmond, KY breaks down mostly by size and access, not species — a small ornamental tree in an open yard costs a fraction of a large hazardous tree wedged between a house and a power line.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost by Size?

Small trees typically run $150–$500, mid-size trees $400–$1,200, and large or hazardous trees $1,000–$3,000+, all labeled as typical — access and what’s underneath the tree move the number more than height alone.

Typical Ranges by Size Tier

• Small (under 30 ft, ornamental or young trees): $150–$500 typical — usually a straightforward job a crew can drop or section down in an hour or two.
• Medium (30–60 ft, most mature yard trees): $400–$1,200 typical — the range most Madison County homeowners fall into, with access and rigging as the main swing factors.
• Large or hazardous (60–80+ ft, near a structure or power line, or already dead): $1,000–$3,000+ typical — sectional, roped-down removal takes far longer and often needs more than one climber.

These are general ranges, not a quote for your tree — our full tree removal cost guide explains why we quote from an on-site look rather than a price list, and why two trees the same height can price very differently.

Why Height Alone Doesn’t Set the Price

Two 60-foot trees can price hundreds of dollars apart depending on what’s around them. An open-field tree can often come straight down in one piece; the same tree six feet from a roofline has to come down in roped sections, piece by piece, which takes several times longer. Dead or leaning trees also cost more to assess and remove safely than a healthy tree of the same size, since the crew has to plan around unpredictable wood.
