Tree Removal Cost Calculator for Knoxville, TN

Answer five quick questions and get a realistic planning range for tree removal in the Knoxville area, built from published 2026 pricing data and local quotes. Every question uses things you can check from your yard in under a minute. No measurements, no tape ladder, no email required.

This is a planning estimate, not a quote. For a full breakdown of what actually drives your price, read ourKnoxville tree removal cost guide. The only number that counts is a free written estimate from a pro who has seen your tree. Seehow this calculator works below.

1. How tall is the tree? Shorter than a two-story house (under 30 ft) About as tall as a two-story house, up to twice that (30 to 60 ft) Clearly taller than the houses around it (60 to 80 ft) Towers over everything nearby (80 ft or more)

2. What condition is it in? Alive and standing Dead or clearly dying, still standing (brittle wood costs more to rig safely) Already on the ground (cutting and hauling only)

3. How close is it to your house, garage, or fence? Open space: it could fall its full height without hitting anything Closer to a structure than the tree is tall Overhanging or touching a house, garage, or fence

4. Two quick checks The trunk is too big to wrap your arms around (roughly 2 ft across or more) It's touching or close to power lines This is urgent (tree on a structure, blocking access, or unsafe right now)

5. Stumps to grind afterward? stump(s)(grinding is a separate add-on; 0 is fine)

How this calculator works (and where the numbers come from)

No black box: here is the whole model. We start from base price ranges by tree height, calibrated to the Knoxville market in our local cost guide and cross-checked against 2026 national pricing surveys, then adjust for the handful of factors that consistently move real quotes. For a breakdown of everything a full job covers, from climbing and rigging to hauling and stump options, see our Knoxville tree removal service.

Base ranges by height

Tree size	Base range
Small (under 30 ft)	$200 – $450
Medium (30–60 ft)	$500 – $1,100
Large (60–80 ft)	$900 – $1,800
Very large (80 ft+)	$1,500 – $3,000+

Adjustments

Near a structure (closer than the tree's height): +10% to +30%. Pieces must be rigged and lowered, not dropped.
Overhanging or touching a structure: +30% to +50%. Slow, technical rigging or crane work.
Dead or dying, still standing: +15% to +35%. Brittle wood is unpredictable and forces conservative rigging.
Already on the ground: 40% to 60% of the base range. Felling risk is gone; you're paying for cutting and hauling.
Very thick trunk (can't wrap your arms around it, about 2 ft+ across): pushes the estimate toward the top of the range. More wood volume means more crew time.
Stump grinding: +$100 to $400 for the first stump, +$50 to $150 for each additional stump in the same visit.
Emergency work: priced on site. Expect at least a 30% to 50% premium over standard rates, more during major storm events. The calculator flags this rather than guessing a number.
Power lines: no multiplier shown, because the first call isn't a tree crew. It's KUB at (865) 524-2911. Line-clearance situations are priced after the utility makes the area safe.
