There's a lot of variables, not the least of which being the specific people you hire, how busy it is in your area at that time for them, and the specific site (can they access easily with their equipment, are there easily damaged buildings nearby, etc.).

The last time my parents had tree work done, my dad was getting estimates in the range of $2,500-4,000 per tree, for a total of 4 trees.

Then one guy came out, took a look, and says, "$1,500."

My dad is thinking that's the best price he's likely to get, but still wants to see if the guy has any wiggle room, so he says something like, "Is there anything you can do on the price if I want to get all four done at once?"

And the guy just says something like, "I was planning on doing all four at once. If I gotta come back a second day, it'll cost a bit more. Maybe $1,800 in total for the four of em. But I'll only need one day as long as I can get here early and put a full day in."

When my dad realized the price was for the entire job, he basically just said, "How soon can you do it?"
