We have been doing tree cutting work in and around Godley since 2014. “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.
Root plates here are wide and shallow because there is nowhere to go down — limestone is often less than two feet under the grass. It is why cutting a mature live oak in Godley 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 Godley
Most tree cutting work in Godley 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
Godley soil, species and timing
Godley sits on thin, rocky alkaline clay over limestone bedrock — Fort Worth Prairie ground. That drives what grows well here (live oak, cedar elm and Texas ash dominate the older streets) and what goes wrong: iron chlorosis is the condition we are called out for most.
We cover ZIP code 76044. We are regularly within a few minutes of Godley: Cresson (7 mi), Joshua (9 mi), Crowley (11 mi) and Burleson (12 mi) are all on the same route.
Timing oak work in Godley
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 Godley search for this as limb cutting, tree cutting service, or simply tree cutters in Godley — it is all the same job, and the estimate is free either way.
FAQ
Tree Cutting in Godley — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in Godley?
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 serve areas outside Godley?
Yes — our regular territory covers Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Hill and Bosque Counties and the cities inside them. Godley is on our normal route.
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.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Completely. Brush chipped and hauled, wood removed or stacked as you prefer, ground raked and blown off. We walk the site with you before we leave. Clean-up is included in the quoted price — it is not a line item that appears later.
Do you give free estimates in Godley?
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 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.
What payment methods do you take?
All standard forms — card, check, cash and bank transfer. On larger jobs a deposit is normal with the balance due on completion, after you have seen the finished work. We do not ask for payment in full before starting.
