Answered for Beech Grove, Marion County.
Tree Removal in Beech Grove runs about $400 to $1,900, averaging near $720. Beech Grove is a 1906 railroad company town whose housing splits into two waves: an original bungalow and foursquare grid laid out around the New York Central shops, then a heavy postwar fill-in that dominates the rest of the city. Most residential lots therefore carry trees planted roughly between 1950 and 1970 — now 55 to 75 years old and, on lots this size, typically growing within a few feet of foundations, driveways and service drops. In Park Grove, Park Meadow and Beech Meadow, access is usually the swing factor rather than the tree itself.

Beech Grove is one of only 23 Indiana communities in the DNR's 2008 i-Tree STRATUM street tree sample inventory, and its numbers are extreme: of 1,699 inventoried street trees, silver maple was 33.1% — more than triple the 10%-per-species industry guideline — followed by Callery pear 11.5%, apple 10.1%, sugar maple 5.0% and littleleaf linden 5.0%. Those top-heavy silver maples on small lots are the recurring job here.
Beech Grove sits on the Tipton Till Plain on Wisconsin-age glacial till with a dense clay-loam subsoil that perches water and keeps root plates shallow and platelike — a bad combination under the silver maples that dominate the street canopy.
Height — a 20-footer is a few hundred, an 80-foot oak over a roof is four figures. Access — can a truck and chipper get to it, or is everything carried by hand. What's underneath — a clear yard versus a roof, a fence, a pool or a power drop. Condition — dead and brittle costs more than live, because it can't be climbed.
