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.

What it costs around Carmel
A mature northern red 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
