Northern Red Oak in central Indiana
Northern red oak is the big shade tree most central Indiana properties inherited from the woodlot their subdivision was cut out of, and it is the species where the calendar matters more than the cut — Indiana sits squarely in oak wilt territory and red oak is in the highly susceptible red/black oak group. Most quotes on a red oak are either a risk assessment on a tree over a roof or a removal after construction damage finally caught up with it.
Large tree · $400–$1,900 typical
What moves the price on this one
- 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
- Species and wood density — hickory and walnut rig slower than pine
