If you have a tree you know needs to come down and it is not an immediate hazard, timing your removal right can save you 15 to 25%.
Best Time: November Through February
Late fall through February is the sweet spot. It is our slow season so companies are more willing to negotiate. Deciduous trees are dormant making canopies lighter and easier to work with.
Most Expensive: Hurricane Season
June through October is peak demand. After a named storm expect rates 50 to 100% above normal.
A scenario we see constantly: a homeowner has a declining water oak they know is a problem. They put it off. August comes, a tropical system passes through, and it becomes an emergency at emergency prices. Calling in January instead easily saves $400 to $800.
