A general arborist call-out and assessment typically costs $80-$150, while routine pruning or crown thinning of a medium tree usually runs $300-$800 depending on height and access. A full tree health report or hazard assessment from a qualified consulting arborist is often $250-$600, and larger jobs involving multiple trees can run into the thousands.
