Despite smooth, unlobed, laurel-like leaves that look nothing like an oak, this is a red-oak-group species — the single most important fact about the tree. Red group means full oak wilt susceptibility and death within a single season, and homeowners (and occasionally crews) misread it as a non-oak and cut it in June.

What it costs around Plainfield
A mature shingle 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
