Effectively a sugar maple variant — often classified as Acer saccharum ssp. nigrum — told apart by darker, droopier, mostly three-lobed leaves and small leafy stipules at the base of the leaf stem. It matters practically because it handles heavy, moist clay better than true sugar maple, yet it is routinely sold, mapped and invoiced as sugar maple, so what a homeowner believes they own often is not what is in the yard.

What it costs around Carmel
A mature black maple is a large tree, which in this market usually puts the work between $400 and $1,900. Access does more to the number than the species does — a truck that can get close changes the job more than the tree ever will.
What moves the price
Height — a 20-footer is a few hundred, an 80-foot oak over a roof is four figures
Access — can a truck and chipper get to it, or is everything carried by hand
What's underneath — a clear yard versus a roof, a fence, a pool or a power drop
Condition — dead and brittle costs more than live, because it can't be climbed
