| Loblolly Pine | 60–100 ft | $800 – $2,500 | Height drives cost; root extraction if near foundation |
| Sweetgum | 50–75 ft | $600 – $1,800 | Spiky gumballs add cleanup; dense wood |
| Pecan | 60–90 ft | $900 – $2,800 | Very heavy wood; often near structures in older neighborhoods |

Factors That Increase Tree Removal Cost
- Proximity to structures: Trees within falling distance of a house, fence, or utility line require rigging to lower sections safely — adds $300–$800+ to most jobs.
- Limited access: If the crew can't get a truck or chipper within reasonable distance, all material must be carried out by hand — adds $200–$500.
- Multiple stems: A tree with 3–4 co-dominant stems (common in hackberry and silver maple) is effectively multiple removals in one.
- Debris disposal: Standard pricing usually includes chipping and hauling brush but may not include log rounds. Confirm what's included in your quote.
- Post-storm demand surge: After a major tornado event in NEA, contractors are booked out and emergency premiums apply. Securing a contractor early in the post-storm window is key.
Stump Grinding Costs in Jonesboro
| Stump Diameter | Est. Cost |
|---|---|
| Under 12 inches | $75 – $150 |
| 12 – 24 inches | $150 – $300 |
| 24 – 36 inches | $300 – $500 |
| Over 36 inches | $500+, quoted on-site |
Adding stump grinding at the time of tree removal is almost always cheaper than a separate return visit — batching saves the contractor a mobilization trip and homeowners typically see $50–$100 savings per stump.

How much does it cost to remove a large water oak in Jonesboro?
A mature water oak (60–80 ft) typically runs $1,200–$2,200 in the Jonesboro market. If the tree is near a structure and requires rigging, expect the upper end or above. Water oaks with hollow cores add complexity — crews must assess structural integrity before each cut.
Is tree removal cheaper in winter in NEA?
Slightly — deciduous trees without leaves are lighter and easier to section, and contractor demand is lower in December–January. The savings are typically modest (10–15%). If your tree is a safety risk, don't wait for a specific season.
What's included in a standard tree removal quote?
Typically: cutting, sectioning, chipping or haul-away of all brush and limbs, and cleanup of the work area. Log rounds may or may not be included — confirm before signing. Stump grinding is almost always a separate line item. Ask for a written quote specifying what's included.
