What Tree Service Costs in Yuma Right Now
In Yuma the band runs about 22% above the statewide low end. The reasons are local: caliche has to be broken out, not dug, extreme summer heat shortens the working day and 157 miles from the Valley means travel time and a second trip for parts. The table below prices the jobs Yuma homeowners actually book, using the local conditions on this page.
| Job | Yuma range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Trim, per tree | $436 – $589 | up to 30 ft, haul-away included |
| Removal, per tree | $996 – $1,347 | small to medium, stump extra |
