How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the tree's size, location, condition, and how easy it is to reach. Small trees may start around $300. Large trees, trees over a house, and jobs that need a crane cost more. We give you a free, no-obligation estimate after we see the tree.
Is cleanup included?
Yes. Complete cleanup is included with every job. We remove the branches, logs, and debris and leave your property clean. If you want to keep some of the wood, ask about log splitting when we give your estimate.
Does tree removal include stump grinding?
Stump grinding is a separate add-on. If you want the stump gone too, tell us at the estimate and we will include it in your quote.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Delaware?
Usually not for a tree on your own property. Delaware has no statewide permit for removing a private yard tree. The City of Wilmington requires a free permit for street trees in the public right-of-way, like the tree in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb, but not for trees on private property. Your HOA may still require approval. We confirm what applies to your tree at the estimate.

Most residential removals of a single tree take four to eight hours. Large or crane-assisted jobs can take a full day or need two visits.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Blue Rock Tree Care is licensed and insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are happy to provide a certificate of insurance on request.
