How much does tree removal cost in Sioux Falls?

Costs depend on tree size and complexity. Small trees under 25 feet run $200–$1,000+, medium trees $1,000–$2,500+, and large trees over 60 feet start around $2,500+. All estimates are free and written — no surprises.

How much does stump grinding cost?

Most stumps run $75–$300 depending on diameter and access. We discount multiple stumps on the same visit.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, always. We provide a free written estimate before any work starts. No obligation, no hidden fees.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Sioux Falls?

Most private residential removals don't require a permit. Trees in the city right-of-way may need approval. We'll advise you during your estimate.

How long does tree removal take?

Most jobs take 1–4 hours. Large or complex removals near structures may take a full day. We give you a time estimate upfront.

Do you clean up after removal?

Yes. All wood, branches, and brush are chipped or hauled away. We rake the area clean before we leave.

When is the best time to trim trees in South Dakota?

Late winter to early spring while trees are dormant is ideal. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed anytime.

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from professional pruning every 3–5 years. Trees near structures or power lines may need annual attention.

Is the Emerald Ash Borer in Sioux Falls?

Yes. EAB has been confirmed in South Dakota. If you have ash trees, have them assessed now — treatment is most effective before 30–40% canopy loss. Learn more about EAB treatment.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance and are happy to provide proof before work begins.
