The cheapest common tree job — a short visit, reachable from the ground or a small ladder at most driveways, with very little wood removed. What raises the price is the roadside setting: work in or over a public right-of-way can require traffic control, and the tree may not be yours to cut. Street trees in the strip between sidewalk and curb are frequently the municipality's property, and cutting one without permission carries a real penalty in many places. Vision-clearance triangle dimensions at corners and driveways are set by local ordinance and vary between jurisdictions — UNVERIFIED for any particular central-Indiana town, so call the city or county before anything is cut. If the offending tree is a neighbor's, that is a conversation before it is a quote.
This is normally a tree trimming job, $250–$1,400, most near $550. A range, not a quote.
