How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Gloucester & Camden County, NJ? (2026 Guide)

How much does tree removal cost in South Jersey?

Most tree removals in Gloucester and Camden Counties run between $400 and $2,500, with the average job landing around $900–$1,500. The single biggest factor is the size of the tree; the second is how close it sits to your house, wires, or other structures. A small backyard tree with room to drop is inexpensive, while a large oak leaning over a roof takes more crew, rigging, and time — and costs accordingly. Because every tree and property is different, FT Tree Service gives you a free, exact, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

Below is how those numbers break down for South Jersey homeowners.

Tree removal cost by size

• Small trees (under ~30 ft) — roughly $300–$700. Ornamentals, small evergreens, and young trees with clear space around them.
• Medium trees (30–60 ft) — roughly $700–$1,300. Many maples and other yard trees fall here.
• Large trees (60–80 ft) — roughly $1,300–$2,000. Mature oaks, poplars, and pines that require careful sectioning.
• Very large or hazardous trees (80 ft+ or over structures) — $2,000–$3,500+. Big-diameter trunks, dead or storm-damaged trees, or anything hanging over a home or power lines.

These are typical South Jersey ranges, not a fixed price list — the exact number depends on the factors below.

What determines the cost of tree removal?

Every quote comes down to a handful of things:

• Size and diameter — height and, just as important, trunk thickness. Thick hardwoods take longer to cut and haul.
• Location and access — a tree in an open yard is far cheaper than one wedged between a house and a fence, or one a truck can’t reach.
• Proximity to structures and wires — trees over roofs, decks, pools, or power lines require rigging and are lowered piece by piece.
• Condition — dead, diseased, leaning, or storm-damaged trees are less predictable and more hazardous to remove.
• Cleanup and extras — hauling debris, chipping brush, and stump grinding are often add-ons.

Does stump grinding cost extra?

Yes — stump grinding is usually priced separately from the removal, typically $75–$400 per stump depending on diameter and root spread. Grinding the stump below grade lets you reclaim the space, remove the trip hazard, and stop regrowth. Many homeowners bundle it with the removal, and we discount stump grinding when we grind several in one visit.

What about emergency or storm-damage removal?

Emergency work — a tree on your house, a limb on your car, a trunk blocking the driveway after a storm — is priced by the situation, not a flat rate, because it often means off-hours response, careful rigging, and coordination around utilities. If a tree is an immediate hazard, don’t wait on a price: call our 24/7 emergency tree service and we’ll make the property safe first.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Often, yes — if a tree damages a covered structure like your house, garage, or fence, your homeowner’s policy usually covers removal and repairs (a healthy tree that simply falls in the yard typically is not covered). Document the damage with photos before anything is moved, and FT Tree Service can provide the paperwork your insurer needs.
