The 2026 Tree Service Market ([IBISWorld](https://www.ibisworld.com/united-states/list-of-industries/) + [HomeGuide](https://homeguide.com/costs/tree-removal-cost))
The US tree trimming services industry generated $39.5 billion in revenue in 2026 across 175,000 contractor businesses, growing at a 6.1% CAGR over the past five years (IBISWorld 2026). Asplundh Tree Expert and The Davey Tree Expert Company are the largest operators. Through 2030, industry revenue is projected to reach $43.7 billion at 2.1% CAGR , though labor shortages exacerbated by stricter immigration enforcement are squeezing profitability.
Customer pricing from HomeGuide 2026: tree removal runs $400-$1,200 on average ($200 for small accessible trees, up to $3,000 for large or complex removals). Tree pruning $400-$900 per tree. Stump removal $100-$500+ per stump ($2-$6 per inch for grinding, $80-$160 minimum). Emergency tree removal after storms commands 1.5-2x premium. The platform's photo-to-quote + storm-day AI voice intake (handling the 50-200 calls that hit during a major storm event) + certified arborist crew dispatch is the lever.
