About us: Sac Tree Quotes is a free referral service that connects Sacramento-area homeowners with independent local tree professionals. We are not a tree contractor and do not perform tree work, and we may be paid by the pros we refer.
The figures below are national published ranges from public cost guides (checked October 2026), not Sacramento-specific averages or our own data. Sacramento-area labor costs often run above national averages, so treat these as a starting point and compare real quotes.

|---|---|
| Up to 30 ft | $250–$700 |
| 30–60 ft | $600–$1,200 |
| Over 60 ft | $1,000–$2,500+ |
| Tree | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Crape myrtle | $80–$400 |
| Palm | $100–$900 |
| Pine | $250–$1,600 |
| Oak | $450–$1,500 |
Pruning a City street tree or a private protected tree in the City of Sacramento requires a permit (City Urban Forestry). Trees near power lines are generally the utility's responsibility to clear — contact SMUD or PG&E rather than hiring a trimmer for line clearance.
Removing a large or native tree may need a permit — see Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Sacramento?
