Tree Removal Cost Estimator

The headline is a low–high range. We build a point estimate with a transparent additive model, then show it as a band (point × [0.85, 1.20]) because on-site reality moves the real number around.

base       = sizeBase[bracket] × speciesFactor
diameter   = max(0, trunkIn − baseline) × $/in
access     = (accessMult     − 1) × base
condition  = (conditionFactor − 1) × base
addOns     = sum of ticked flat fees
perTree    = base + diameter + access + condition + addOns
point      = perTree × region × treeCount
range      = point × [0.85, 1.20]

Size bands (Small <25 ft, Medium 25–60, Large 60–80, X-Large 80+) and the additive model with its worked example come from Acres-Per-Hour; the six flat add-on fees (stump grinding $125, root removal $250, wood chipping $100, log removal $200, complete cleanup $150, permit $100) come from LandscapioAI. Access multipliers (1.0 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2.0) and condition factors (1.0 / 1.10 / 1.15 / 1.25) are pinned, editable-style conventions — incumbents disagree on the exact numbers, so treat them as adjustable, not law.

The per-foot effective rate (point ÷ (height × treeCount), a per-tree-equivalent figure) is shown only as a cross-check against the $8–$15/ft rule of thumb for standard trees — it never feeds the price.

No ZIP lookup. The regional multiplier is a slider you set yourself (0.8–1.4×), not a live location feed. Nothing is stored; there's no account or email gate.
