How much does it cost to remove a serviceberry?
Removing a serviceberry around Indianapolis typically runs $100 to $700, with most jobs near $250. Serviceberry is one of the default small trees going into central Indiana front yards now that builders and municipalities are moving off Callery pear, so the volume of calls is rising with the planting volume. Almost none of them are hazard calls — they are about orange-spotted leaves in June and purple berry stain on the drive.
Mature size, and the bracket it puts you in
Mature around 15 to 25 feet tall and 10 to 20 feet wide, and 40 to 50 years is a realistic run in a yard under decent conditions. Removals sit in the smallest bracket — ground-level work, no crane — with cost driven by access and by whether the customer wants the stump ground to stop the suckering.
Condition changes the price
It rates intermediate for ice damage and is too small to threaten a structure, but the multi-stem habit is its weak point under glaze. Loaded stems splay outward and bend to the ground, and the typical damage is one stem splitting away at the base of the clump — usually a pruning and cabling-free repair job rather than a removal.
