Outdoor Cost Calculators — Trees, Gutters & Fences

Outdoor jobs are quoted by size — tree height, fence linear feet, gutter run — and the per-unit quotes hide the adders: stump grinding, gates, two-story premiums. These three calculators price your exact job before the quote arrives. The tree removal calculator starts at $200–500 for small ornamentals and runs to $1,200–2,000 for 80-footers, with stump grinding (+$100–300), emergency service (×1.5) and difficult access (×1.3) as explicit toggles — because the difference between a $2,200 and a $3,400 tree job is usually access, and it's negotiable when you can name it. The fence calculator itemizes materials from labor across five materials ($10–53 per linear foot), applies the height factor against a 6-ft baseline, and adds gates at $300 — plus the permit and survey checklist that keeps a fence from being built on the wrong side of the line. The gutter guard calculator prices four materials per linear foot ($2–20), adds the two-story premium at +30%, and compares the total against the $300–600/year you'd otherwise pay for professional cleanings. Run each before the crew arrives and the itemized result becomes your line-by-line question list.
