When a tree on your property becomes dangerous, dead, or simply in the way, you need it gone quickly and safely — without damage to your home, your landscaping, or the people around it.
That is exactly what we do. At Saints Tree Service we handle the trees other companies turn down: the big ones, the leaning ones, and the ones wedged tight between a garage, a fence, and the power lines.
We bring the right equipment, ISA Certified Arborists, and $1 million in liability coverage to every job, so the only thing you have to think about is the empty space where the problem used to be.
Not every struggling tree needs to come down — but some do. Call us for an evaluation if you notice any of the following:
A tree that is dead, dying, or more than half damaged
A split, hollow, or decaying trunk
A tree leaning sharply or pushed over after a storm
Large dead or overhanging limbs above your roof, driveway, or play area
Roots lifting your foundation, driveway, or sidewalk
A tree growing into power lines or too close to your house
Fungus, cracks, or insect damage spreading through the trunk
Not sure if it can be saved? We’ll tell you honestly — sometimes pruning, cabling, or treatment is the smarter call than removal, and we’ll say so.

Most tree removals in the Cleveland area fall between $400 and $1,200, though the final price depends on the size of the tree and how complicated it is to reach. Here’s what local homeowners typically pay:
Tree Size | Height | Typical Cleveland Cost |
Small | Under 30 ft | $150 – $600 |
Medium | 30 – 60 ft | $500 – $1,200 |
Large | Over 60 ft | $1,300 – $3,500+ |
Stump grinding: $75 – $400 (roughly $2 – $6 per inch of stump diameter).
Debris hauling: included in our pricing — no surprise $50 – $200 cleanup fee.
Emergency / storm removal: typically 50 – 100% more than standard rates for after-hours, high-risk work.
What changes your price: the tree’s height and trunk diameter, the species (oak and elm are dense and heavier to handle), how close it is to your house, fence, or power lines, equipment access, and whether you add stump grinding.
Want to spend less? Bundle several trees into one visit, schedule in the off-season (late fall through winter), and let us leave the wood chips or firewood for you. Either way, you’ll get a free written estimate up front — so you know the exact price before we start.

Before you hire anyone, it helps to know who owns the tree. If a tree stands along a city street, in the tree lawn between the sidewalk and the curb, in a public right-of-way, or in a public park, it is managed by the City of Cleveland Division of Urban Forestry — not by a private contractor.
You can report a public-tree problem through the city’s 311 service or by calling Urban Forestry at (216) 664-3104, and a permit is required for any work on or near public trees.
For any tree on your own private property, Saints Tree Service handles everything — including pulling permits where they’re required.
Not sure whose tree it is? Call us at (216) 438-9080 and we’ll help you find out before any work begins.

In the Cleveland area, most tree removals run $400–$1,200. Small trees start around $150, while large, complex removals can reach $3,500 or more. The biggest factors are the tree’s height and trunk diameter, how close it is to your house or power lines, and whether you add stump grinding. We give free written estimates so you see the exact price before any work starts.
For a typical medium-sized tree in Cleveland, expect somewhere around $700–$850. Your exact price depends on the tree and the site — call (216) 438-9080 for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your property.
Late fall and winter are usually the most affordable time. Demand drops after storm season, dormant leafless trees are quicker to cut, and frozen ground protects your lawn from equipment. Booking in the off-season often means lower rates and faster scheduling.
There is no general free tree-removal program for seniors in Cleveland. Free or subsidized removal is usually limited to public/city-owned trees (handled by the City through 311) or specific storm-relief, hardship, or utility-line programs. For trees on private property, we offer free estimates, flexible scheduling, and budget-friendly options to keep the cost manageable.
For a tree on your own private property you generally don’t need a city permit — though some HOAs (common in suburbs like Solon and Beachwood) have their own rules. A permit IS required for any work on public or right-of-way trees. We handle the permitting whenever it applies.
Yes. Stump grinding is available as an add-on, typically $75–$400 depending on size. We grind the stump below ground level so you can replant, lay sod, or pave over the spot.
Yes — we run 24/7 emergency service with same-day response for storm-damaged, fallen, and hazardous trees across Greater Cleveland. Call (216) 438-9080 any time, day or night.
Always. Complete debris removal and cleanup is included in every job. We haul away all the wood and brush — unless you’d like us to leave the firewood or wood chips for you.
