Black Locust in central Indiana
This is a removal-first species and one of the few on this list that genuinely earns it. A mature black locust in a yard is usually hollow or getting there — locust borer larvae tunnel the trunk and open it to Phellinus robiniae heart rot, so the crown stays green while the stem quietly loses the section holding it up.
Medium tree · On the hazard list · $250–$1,400 typical
What moves the price on this one
- How much canopy is coming off, and how high the work is
- Whether a bucket truck reaches it or a climber has to go up
- Clearance work over a roof, a drive or a service line costs more than open-yard
- Number of trees — a crew already set up prices the second tree lower
- Debris volume and haul-off
