We have an old apple tree in our 200m² suburban garden that's diseased and dropping branches. It's about 25 years old, roughly 6 meters tall. We want it removed completely, including stump grinding so we can replant or extend the lawn. What should we budget for this in the Haarlem area, and is there paperwork involved?
✓ Accepted answer
Removing a mature fruit tree (6m, 25 years) with stump grinding typically costs €800–€1,500 in the Haarlem region. Cost drivers: tree height, trunk diameter, location (access for equipment), whether you want the wood chipped or removed, and stump depth. Most jobs include felling, cleanup, and basic stump grinding. Deep stump removal (for replanting) may add €200–€400. You don't need a gemeente permit for a private fruit tree removal, but check your lease if you're a tenant—landlord consent may be required.
