How much does it cost to deal with a tree fell across my driveway and i can't get my car out?

This one is priced on volume and disposal rather than on risk, which makes it one of the more negotiable jobs on this list. Large-diameter trunk wood costs money mainly because someone has to handle and haul it — so the bill drops noticeably if you let them leave the rounds stacked for firewood, and rises if a chipper truck cannot get close enough or if the standing root plate needs to be laid back down and ground out. If part of it fell in the public right-of-way, that portion may not be your bill at all; ask before you sign for the whole tree.
