How much does it cost to deal with my tree leans, but it's always leaned?

Often nothing beyond an assessment fee, which is the honest answer many homeowners never get. If removal is warranted, the lean drives price in a specific way: a tree leaning over a target cannot be felled the direction it wants to go, so it must be dismantled from the top or pulled against its lean with a winch or crane, while the same tree leaning away into open lawn would cost a fraction of that. Reduction pruning on the leaning side prices as climbing work. Treat an estimate that reaches removal from the lean alone and never mentions the soil at the base as the tell that nobody actually assessed it.
