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.
