American Sweetgum in central Indiana
Nobody calls about sweetgum because it is dangerous — they call about the gumballs. It is a strong, long-lived, ice-tolerant shade tree that happens to carpet the yard with spiked seed balls every winter, and a lot of sweetgum work starts as "can you stop the balls" before it ever becomes a removal quote.
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
