Bur oak is the toughest large tree you can have on a central Indiana lot — it handles alkaline soil, compacted clay, drought, and road salt better than any other oak here, which is precisely why it so rarely appears on a removal quote. When one does, it is usually a very large old tree with a construction or decay problem, or a homeowner who has finally had enough of the acorns.

What it costs around Carmel
A mature bur oak 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
