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.

A mature black locust is a medium tree, which in this market usually puts the work between $250 and $1,400. It's on the hazard list, and that matters for price: a compromised tree often can't be climbed, so it needs a bucket or a crane, and that is most of the cost.
Don’t sit on this one. Hazard species get more dangerous and more expensive to take down every season they’re left — the wood goes brittle, and a tree that could have been climbed last year needs a crane this year.
