Boise Tree Service, Matched to Your Job
Tell us what your tree needs. We'll pass your request to a local Boise tree company that does that kind of work, and they'll contact you with a quote. Using TreeCareBoise is free.
TreeCareBoise is a referral service, not a tree company. Requests go to independent local contractors.
What do you need done?
How it works
- Tell us about the job. Call, or use the form. Photos help a company give a more accurate quote.
- We match you with a local company. Your request goes to one independent local tree company serving your part of Boise.
- They contact you to quote. You decide whether to hire them. Pricing, scheduling and the work itself are between you and the company.
We don't do tree work ourselves. Partner companies pay us a fee for the requests we send them. You never pay us. Read how TreeCareBoise works →.
What we check before we refer
We pass requests to independent local companies. We don't inspect their work, so please use the checklist below before you hire anyone: ask for proof of insurance, a written quote, and proof of any certification or license they claim.
What tree work costs in Boise
Prices depend on the tree's size, where it stands, and how easy it is to reach. For reference, Homeyou's 2026 data from Boise customer quotes puts a medium tree removal at about $518–$703, pruning a medium tree at about $411–$611, and stump grinding at about $85–$145 per stump. Your quote may be higher or lower. See the full Boise cost guide →
Before you hire any tree company
- Ask for proof of insurance. Tree work is risky. A certificate of liability insurance protects you if something is damaged.
- Get the quote in writing. It should say whether cleanup, haul-away and the stump are included.
- Check certifications that are claimed. ISA Certified Arborist status can be verified with the International Society of Arboriculture.
- Street trees are different. Trees in the public right-of-way belong to the City. Pruning or removing them needs a free City permit, and the work must be done by a City-licensed tree service. Do you need a permit? →
- Stay away from power lines. Never prune near overhead lines yourself. Idaho Power asks customers to contact it at 208-388-2323.

Questions
Is TreeCareBoise a tree company? No. We're a free referral service that connects Boise property owners with independent local tree companies. The company you hire does the work and is responsible for it.
Does it cost anything to use? No. You pay only the company you choose to hire, and only if you hire them.
How quickly will someone contact me? It depends on the company's schedule and the time of day. For emergencies, call instead of using the form.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Boise? For trees in the public right-of-way, usually the strip between the sidewalk and the street, yes. You need a free City permit, and the work must be done by a City-licensed tree service. For trees fully on private property, check with Boise Community Forestry at (208) 608-7700. Read more →
What if a tree is touching a power line? Stay well away. Call Idaho Power at 208-388-2323 or 1-800-488-6151, and call 911 if lines are down or sparking.
