It is the tree everyone wants and the one that quietly dies in a subdivision — sugar maple is among the least salt- and compaction-tolerant shade trees there is, and it is no longer recommended for street planting anywhere in the Midwest. A sugar maple fifteen feet off a salted road on stripped subdivision clay is on a decline clock from the day it goes in, which is why so many central Indiana quotes on this species are removals of trees that are only forty years old.

What it costs around Plainfield
A mature sugar 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
