The price depends on your location and the type and health of trees involved. Get prices from a bunch of tree guys. The small family-owned companies are going to be better priced on jobs like this than the bigger companies. In my opinion stay away from the national companies like Davie Tree and Asplundh who charge probably 4x as much on any given job as anybody else. When you get a price you like, give the guy the work. Just make sure they are insured. I see you're in the DC area.... I recently had some tree work done at a very reasonable price in Montgomery county. If you're up my way, let me know and I'll give you the guy's name.
