Tree removal built for Salt Lake City yards
Salt Lake City properties are not all the same job. An Avenues lot may be steep with no truck access, a Sugar House backyard may have a 36-inch gate, and a Rose Park cottonwood may be 70 feet of brittle wood leaning toward the neighbor's roof. We plan the take-down around the property, not the other way around — rope rigging, controlled drops, and crane access when the tree calls for it.
Cottonwoods and other local problem trees
Salt Lake County is full of mature cottonwoods, silver maples and Siberian elms — all fast-growing, brittle species that shed heavy limbs. Cottonwoods in particular fail at branch unions and drop large wood without warning. Blue spruce and Austrian pine removals are usually mid-range. If your tree is dropping limbs, cracking at a union, or heaving soil at the base, it should be looked at before the next storm.
Canyon winds and storm damage
East-bench neighborhoods take the brunt of canyon wind events, and wet spring snow loads break out canopies across the valley. We handle emergency and post-storm removals: hung-up limbs, split trunks, trees on fences and roofs. Same-day work is priced separately, but you'll always get the number before we start.
What it costs
Small trees under 20 ft typically run $250–$500, medium 20–40 ft trees $500–$1,200, and large 40–60 ft trees $1,200–$1,800. Extra-large cottonwoods and crane jobs can reach $1,800–$3,500+. Full breakdown in our Salt Lake City tree removal cost guide.
Removal plus stump grinding in one visit
Bundling saves the second trip fee — usually $75–$150 versus booking separately. See stump grinding or the tree and stump combo. Not sure the tree has to go? A Salt Lake City arborist visit can tell you whether pruning buys it more years.
