“Tree cutting” covers three different jobs, and the price gap between them is large. Sorting out which one you actually need is the first thing we do on site. Arlington is one of the largest cities in Tarrant County, with roughly 394,266 residents and tree stock old enough that a lot of it now needs real work rather than a tidy-up.
The sand belt drains fast and dries out hard, which is why established post oaks here fail from drought stress long before they fail from disease. It is why cutting a mature post oak in Arlington is a rigging job rather than a felling job on most residential lots.

Three jobs that all get called “tree cutting”
When somebody calls asking about tree cutting, they mean one of three things and the price range between them is roughly ten to one. Cutting a tree down is a removal. Cutting branches back is trimming — off a roof, away from a fence, up over a drive. Cutting up a tree that is already down is storm clean-up, and it is priced by volume and access rather than by height.
It is worth being specific when you call, because it changes what we bring. Cutting a sixty-foot dead red oak away from a house needs a rigging crew; bucking a fallen hackberry into rounds needs a saw and a truck.
The two-thirds rule for hiring
Do not pay in full up front. A deposit on a large job is normal; the balance is due on completion after you have walked it. Any crew asking for the whole amount in cash before starting is telling you something. Also get the scope in writing — 'trim the trees' is not a scope, and it is where nearly every dispute in this trade comes from.

Pricing
What tree cutting costs in Arlington
Most tree cutting work in Arlington falls between $300 and $2,200 for a typical residential job. That is a real range, not a teaser — what puts a job at one end or the other is below.
What moves the price
- Which of the three jobs it actually is
- Height, diameter and total wood volume
- Whether there is a clear drop zone
- What happens to the wood — haul-off is a real share of the cost
- Access and how far material has to be carried to the truck
The only way to get a real number is for someone to look at it. That visit is free — request an estimate or call (817) 508-9940. Full pricing detail for every service is in our North Texas tree service cost guide.
Local conditions
Arlington soil, species and timing
The ground under Arlington is sandy loam over clay, typical of the Eastern Cross Timbers. Soil pH runs around 6.0–7.0, which is why post oak decline shows up here so consistently — post oaks are exceptionally intolerant of root disturbance, grade changes and summer irrigation, and a healthy-looking one can die two years after the driveway went in.
We cover ZIP codes 76000, 76001, 76002, 76003, 76004, 76005, 76006, 76007, 76010, 76011, 76012, 76013, 76014, 76015, 76016, 76017, 76018, 76019, 76094 and 76096. Because we are already working nearby, scheduling in Arlington is usually easy — Pantego (2 mi), Dalworthington Gardens (2 mi), Kennedale (8 mi) and Forest Hill (8 mi) are all on the same route.
Timing oak work in Arlington
Oak wilt is present across North Central Texas, and the single most important rule is timing: the Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning oaks between February 1 and June 30, when sap-feeding beetles are active and fresh cuts are how the fungus gets in. If an oak has to be cut in that window — storm damage does not wait — every wound gets painted immediately. We schedule non-urgent oak work in July through January.
People in Arlington search for this as tree cutting service, limb cutting, or simply cut down a tree in Arlington — it is all the same job, and the estimate is free either way.
FAQ
Tree Cutting in Arlington — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in Arlington?
Small trees under about 25 feet usually run $300–$650. Mid-size trees of 25–50 feet are commonly $650–$1,500. Large trees over 50 feet, or anything requiring rigging over a house, generally start around $1,500 and go up with size and difficulty. Stump grinding and haul-off are separate line items.
Will you leave the wood for firewood?
Happily — say so when we quote. Leaving rounds on site reduces the price because we are not hauling the volume. We can cut to a length you specify and stack it, which adds a little labour but is usually still cheaper than haul-off.
Do you give free estimates in Arlington?
Yes. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and you get a written price with the scope spelled out — no charge and no obligation. We do not quote tree work over the phone from a description, because the things that change the price (access, what is underneath, how the wood has to come out) are not visible from a description.
Do you serve areas outside Arlington?
Yes — our regular territory covers Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Hill and Bosque Counties and the cities inside them. Arlington is on our normal route.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?
We reschedule. Saturated ground means ruts and, more importantly, compromised anchor points and footing — nobody should be aloft in a tree in a North Texas thunderstorm. You get a call, not a no-show.
Do you offer discounts for multiple trees?
Effectively yes — the second tree on the same visit costs less than it would on its own because setup, travel and haul-off are already covered. If you have several trees needing attention, get them all quoted at once rather than one at a time.
Can you work around my schedule?
Usually. Most residential work happens on weekdays during business hours, but we can often arrange early starts or a specific day if access, pets or gates require it. Commercial properties routinely get after-hours or weekend scheduling.
Will you damage my lawn or sprinkler system?
We plate or mat soft ground before anything heavy crosses it, and we ask you to flag sprinkler heads and low-voltage lighting, which do not show up on a utility locate. Some rutting is possible on saturated ground — if it happens, repairing it is on us.
