Price vs. Cost in Tree Service: Do You Know Which One Really Matters?

Pine tree removal. Cutting the tree close to the ground for stump grinding ease.

When you need to hire someone for tree pruning or another type of tree service, what’s the first thing you think about? If you’re like most homeowners, it’s probably the price. Everyone wants to know how much they will pay, and we don’t necessarily blame them. Quality tree services done right aren’t cheap. But is searching for the best price for your next tree service really better?

At Clean Edge Tree Service in Sheboygan County, we always explain to potential customers that while it is perfectly OK to shop around for what they think is the best price, doing so could cost them more money in the long run.

You Get What You Pay For!

As you’re searching for the right tree service professional to remove that stump, prune your trees, or remove a dangerous tree before it leads to more damage, you’ll likely come across a wide range of quotes. Some of those prices will feel higher than they should — especially if you’ve never paid for tree services before. Others may feel like a steal or fall somewhere in the middle.

We’re not the most expensive tree service out there, but we’re not the cheapest, either. So it’s better to look deeper at who you’re hiring and consider the real determining factor — price and cost.

You see, price is the amount of money you were quoted for the job.

Cost is the money you might spend over time if you only focus on the best price.

Here’s an example: Customer A pays XYZ Tree Company $500 to remove a dead tree in their front yard. The tree company removes the tree but doesn’t take care of the stump, too. They also busted a sprinkler head somewhere in the middle of the job, and before the customer had a chance to say anything about the stump or the busted sprinkler, the tree guy was gone. So, the customer has no choice but to call another tree service company and their sprinkler guy to finish the repairs — spending more money in the process. 

Customer A may have felt comfortable spending only $500 to remove what they thought would be the entire tree (including the stump). But now they’re stuck with the long-term cost of only looking at the initial price.

Is it possible that you will find highly skilled and certified arborists with bargain basement prices? Absolutely. And if that’s the case, we don’t blame you for choosing them. But more often than not, the guy with the cheaper price is the one who will leave you wishing you would have been a bit more picky with your selection.
