These are figures other sources publish for the Huntsville, AL area, checked October 2026 — not a quote, and not this site's prices. This site does not perform tree work. Only an on-site assessment by a provider produces an actual price. Sources and dates: published tree removal estimates for Huntsville, AL.
Published estimates for the Huntsville area span from under $150 to $3,000, because the sources are describing different job sizes. Rather than add another average, this page reports what each source states and where they differ.
| Source | What it reports |
|---|---|
| ProMatcher (Huntsville page) | $387.60 fixed fee, standing tree under 30 ft (range $346.56–$428.64; ProMatcher dates the report May 2021) |
| Thumbtack (Huntsville page) | removal of a small tree from under $150 to over $450 |
| HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com | medium $400–$800; large $800–$1,500; extra-large $1,500–$3,000 |
Each figure checked at its source in October 2026. These are third-party estimates, not quotes, and none is a price this website can offer or honor.
Why the published figures differ
Where the sources describe what they are pricing, they are not pricing the same thing. ProMatcher's $387.60 is stated as a fixed fee for a standing tree under 30 feet. The $1,500–$3,000 figure published by HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com is stated for what that source calls extra-large trees. Averaging across the two would combine different job sizes.
The variables the sources state are tree height and, in ProMatcher's case, whether the tree is still standing. Other factors may affect an individual quote, but they are not named in these published figures.
Stump work is listed on its own. ProMatcher and HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com each give stump removal as a separate item from their tree removal figures, so a removal figure on its own does not tell you whether grinding is included.
A Huntsville Utilities program the cost sources do not mention
Huntsville Utilities states on its Line Clearance page that customers who have street-side trees removed are eligible for a one-for-one tree replacement voucher, up to three trees, at participating local nurseries, and for grinding of all stumps resulting from street-side tree removal. The utility notes this applies only to street-side trees it removes, not to back-yard trees or removals requested by the customer, and that the customer is responsible for planting the replacement and disposing of grinding debris. For which lines the utility clears and which wire is the homeowner's, see who trims trees near power lines in Huntsville.

Common questions
How much does tree removal cost in Huntsville?
Published estimates for the Huntsville area run from under $150 for a small tree (Thumbtack's Huntsville page gives under $150 to over $450) to $1,500-$3,000 for what HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com describes as extra-large trees. ProMatcher reports $387.60 for a standing tree under 30 feet. The spread reflects different job sizes rather than disagreement about the same job.
Why do the published figures vary so much?
The sources are describing different job sizes. ProMatcher states its figure is for a standing tree under 30 feet; HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com states its top band is for extra-large trees.
Does a published removal figure include stump grinding?
Not ProMatcher's: its report states that the removal cost does not include stump grinding, which it prices separately by stump diameter. HuntsvilleTreeRemovalService.com also lists stump work as its own line items, so ask the provider whether a quote includes grinding.
Is a replacement tree or stump grinding available after a street-side removal?
Huntsville Utilities states that customers who have street-side trees removed by the utility are eligible for a one-for-one replacement voucher for up to three trees at participating nurseries, plus grinding of all stumps from street-side removal. It does not apply to back-yard trees or customer-requested removals. Confirm current terms with the utility.
