Tree Trouble Often Starts With One Loud Crack
Say a summer storm rolls through Delray Beach after dinner. The wind pushes hard for twenty minutes. The next morning, a big limb sits across the driveway, and the trunk behind it leans toward the roof.
Now what?
That is the moment many homeowners search for emergency tree removal. You need a skilled local provider, and you want some idea of the price before anyone starts a chainsaw.
Makingcrime Tree Service is a referral service. We do not cut, haul or grind anything ourselves. We connect homeowners across the Delray Beach area with independent tree removal providers in our network. The provider you speak with sets the final price and does the work.
Here is what you get from this site:
- A simple way to reach local providers for tree removal and stump grinding
- Plain-language cost guidance before you talk to anyone
- No obligation to hire anyone
Not every tree is an emergency. Some are simply old, dead or too close to the house. Either way, a written quote lets you compare options without pressure.

How This Works
Who we are, and who we are not
Picture a homeowner standing in the yard, phone in hand, looking at a cracked oak. They want one thing: a real person with a truck and a saw who can look at the job.
Makingcrime Tree Service exists for that moment. We are a referral service, not a tree company. We do not own equipment, we do not send crews, and we do not set prices. Independent local providers do all of that.
What happens when you reach out
Say you fill out the request form tonight. Your details and a short description of the tree go to a provider in our network that serves your part of the Delray Beach area. If you phone instead, your call is routed to a provider who may be able to help with your job.
That provider then talks with you about the tree, the access, and the timing. Many providers can respond quickly, but availability varies, so ask directly.
What you should expect from the provider
A good provider looks at the tree or reviews photos, explains the plan, and gives you a written quote. That quote should say what is included: cutting, hauling away limbs, cleanup, and whether stump grinding is part of the price.
You are never required to hire the provider you speak with. If the number feels off, you can ask another one.
Why we put cost up front
Most people do not know what a tree job should cost. A small ornamental can be simple. A tall pine over a tile roof is a different story. We explain the main price drivers on this site so the quote you receive makes sense to you.
Serving Homes Across the Delray Beach area
Say you live in a 1970s subdivision where the oaks have had fifty years to grow. Their roots now push at the driveway, and their branches hang over a shingle roof. Or maybe you own a condo unit, and the tree at issue belongs to the association. Those are different jobs with different steps.
Providers in our network work with all kinds of homes in Delray Beach and nearby towns in Florida. That includes concrete block homes on slabs, tile roofs, shingle roofs, and tight lots where a crane or bucket truck has to fit through a narrow gap.
The climate matters too. Humid weather keeps trees growing fast and can make wood decay quietly from the inside. Almost daily summer storms add stress, and hurricane season from June to November brings real risk to weak trunks and heavy limbs.
A few things to have ready when you ask for an estimate:
- Your street or neighborhood
- A rough tree height and trunk size
- What it is near: roof, fence, pool cage, power lines
- Photos, if you can take them safely
If power lines are involved, stay back and contact the utility first.

What Drives the Price of Tree Work
Size and height
A twelve-foot tree and a seventy-foot tree are not the same job. Taller trees need more rigging, more time and sometimes a lift. Trunk width matters too, since thick wood means heavier pieces and more hauling.
Where the tree stands
A tree in an open back lot is easy. A tree leaning over a roof, a pool enclosure or a fence is not. Tight access and nearby structures slow the work down, and that shows up in the quote.
Typical U.S. price ranges
Across the U.S., small tree removal often runs a few hundred dollars. Medium trees commonly land around $500 to $1,500. Large or hazardous trees can run $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Prices vary by job, region and provider, so treat these as rough guides only.
Why a written quote matters
Imagine two quotes for the same tree. One says removal only. The other includes hauling and cleanup. Without writing, you cannot compare them fairly. Ask what is covered, what is extra, and who handles debris.
Emergency tree removal and storm tree clearance
After a storm, a fallen tree on a roof or blocking a driveway may need urgent attention. Rush work can cost more, and many providers are busy at once. Request a callback to check provider availability, and take photos before anything is moved.
Insurance and storm damage
Some policies may cover sudden damage from a falling tree, but coverage differs. Check your policy. Providers can often help document damage for a claim, such as with photos and a written description of the work.
Stump grinding after removal
A stump left in a humid yard can sprout, attract pests and trip the mower. Stump grinding commonly runs about $100 to $400 per stump, depending on size and roots. Ask whether it is included in the tree quote or priced separately.
Questions to ask any provider
- Is the quote in writing?
- Does it include cleanup and hauling?
- Is the provider insured for this kind of job?
- When can they realistically start?
