Prepared for Ryan Shilalis · 79 Tanglewood Dr, East Falmouth, MA 02536 · October 26, 2026 · Price valid for 30 days
Estimated time on site: 2 days, crew of 2–3. The small red Japanese maple and the young trees are not part of this removal — they stay and will be protected while we work.
What’s included
The scope of work — by area
Every area in your photos, priced separately below. In each area we cut the shrubs down, extract the root balls, and haul everything away.
2 — Side corner (AC)
$8502 extra-large rhododendrons · approx. 10 ft wide each
- Thick, woody trunks — cut in sections
- Root balls extracted
- AC / mini-split unit protected during the work
3 — Rear door & deck side
$6002 large shrubs by the rear door
- Cut down + root balls extracted
- Deck posts and steps protected
- Red Japanese maple next to them stays
4 — Driveway side row
$1,550Approx. 32 ft row · 6 large rhododendrons / laurels
- The full row along the gravel drive
- Cut down + root balls extracted
- Gravel drive raked back into place
Included in every area
- Root extraction — not just cut at ground level, so they don’t grow back
- Hauling & disposal of all debris (est. 2–3 full loads)
- Raking out and leveling the beds — $700, listed in the breakdown
- Protection of the house, windows, AC unit and deck
Not included
- New plants, trees or shrubs
- Mulch, imported loam / topsoil, or lawn seeding
- Removal of any trees
- We can price any of these separately once the area is clear
Lower-cost option — cut & haul only: $4,350
Same four areas, cut at ground level and hauled away, saving $1,500 — but the roots stay in the ground. Rhododendrons can re-sprout from the roots, and you can’t replant in the same spots. We recommend the complete removal above if you plan to replant or want it done once, for good.
Investment
Clear pricing.
No surprises in the line items.
One flat total for the complete job — cutting, roots, hauling, disposal and cleanup are all in. No hourly billing, no per-load surprises afterwards.
