The provider contacts you to look at the job and give a price. No obligation to hire.
What affects the price?
No two trees cost the same to remove. A 25-foot ornamental in an open front yard is a quick job; a 90-foot oak leaning over a slate roof in Southport is not. Providers usually weigh:
- Height, trunk diameter and the tree's condition
- How close it is to the house, fences or power lines
- Whether a crane or bucket truck is needed
- Access for equipment — narrow side yards, slopes, long driveways
- Emergency or after-hours timing
- Stump grinding and debris haul-away
Does your tree need a Town permit?
Trees on your own property usually don't. But trees in the street right-of-way belong to the Town and are controlled by the Fairfield Tree Warden — removing one without a written permit can lead to replacement costs. Work near wetlands may also need approval.

Frequently asked questions
Is this service really free for homeowners?
Yes. Requesting a quote through Fairfield CT Tree Removal costs you nothing and carries no obligation. You only pay the independent provider if you decide to hire them, at a price you agree to directly.
Who actually removes my tree?
An independent, local tree service company that serves Fairfield, CT. We don't do tree work ourselves — we pass your request to a provider so you can get an estimate quickly.
How much does tree removal cost in Fairfield, CT?
It depends on the tree's size, where it stands and how hard it is to reach. Many jobs in Connecticut fall roughly between $800 and $2,500, with large, crane or hazard removals costing more. Our cost guide explains the factors in detail.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Fairfield, CT?
A tree fully on your own private property, away from the street right-of-way and outside wetland areas, generally doesn't need a Town tree permit. Trees in the public right-of-way are controlled by the Town Tree Warden and need a written permit. See our permits page for details.
Can someone come out for a fallen tree today?
Choose "Emergency – today" on the form. We'll try to connect you with a provider who handles emergency work, though availability after big storms can be limited. If a tree is touching power lines, stay away and call Eversource or 911 first.
Is stump grinding included with tree removal?
Not always. Many providers price stump grinding separately. Ask whether it's included when you compare written quotes.
Should I verify the provider's insurance?
Yes. Before work starts, ask the provider for a current certificate of insurance and their Connecticut registration, and make sure the scope and cleanup are written into the estimate.
