What Affects the Price of Tree Removal in Everett?
- Height and trunk size. Tall Douglas firs, cedars and big-leaf maples are common here and take more time and gear.
- Location on the lot. A tree in an open yard can be felled. One beside a house, deck or fence must be taken down piece by piece.
- Tree condition. Dead, cracked or leaning trees are less predictable and need extra rigging.
- Power lines. Trees touching utility lines may need the utility to de-energize the line first.
- Storm damage. Fallen or split trees after a windstorm are more dangerous to cut. See our storm damage tree removal guide.
- Cleanup choices. Hauling everything away costs more than leaving firewood rounds.

Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Everett?
Sometimes. The City of Everett requires approval to cut or prune trees in critical areas, such as streams, wetlands, steep slopes and their buffers. Hazardous trees there can be removed after approval, and the City requires two native replacement trees for each tree removed (City of Everett FAQ; hazardous tree checklist). Trees that are part of required landscaping on commercial, multifamily or some subdivision lots may also need replacing.
Rules can change, so call Everett Planning at 425-257-8731 before removing a large tree, or ask us to check during your estimate.
When Is Tree Removal Worth It?
- The tree is dead, hollow or leaning toward your home.
- Roots are lifting driveways or damaging foundations.
- Large limbs hang over the roof and keep breaking in storms.
- The tree blocks construction or a new project.
Not every problem tree has to come down. Careful tree trimming or tree pruning can remove risky limbs for much less. Learn the signs you need a tree expert and how to protect trees from storm damage.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Everett?
You need City approval to cut or prune trees in critical areas such as streams, wetlands, steep slopes and their buffers, and two replacement trees are required for each tree removed. Trees in required landscaping may also need replacing. Call Everett Planning at 425-257-8731 to confirm for your lot.
Does homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
Often only when a tree falls on a covered structure, such as your house or garage, after a storm. Removing a healthy or dead tree before it falls is usually your cost. Check your policy and take photos of any damage.
Is it cheaper to remove a tree in winter?
Sometimes. Fall and winter can be slower outside of storm season, which can mean better scheduling. After a major windstorm, demand and emergency rates go up.
