The size is the biggest driver. So is access.
Under 30 feet, easy access, no hazards: fastest job, cheapest. $200-500 typical. Small yard tree, standard cleanup.
30-60 feet, medium tree, standard yard: $500-1500. This is where most Tyler removals land. Live Oak 20-30" trunk, dead pine, storm-damaged pecan.
60-80 feet, large tree: $1500-3500. Full-grown Live Oak, mature Loblolly Pine. Section-by-section takedown, chipper truck, half a day or more.
Over 80 feet, or complex: $3500 and up, sometimes way up. Rigging near structures, working around power lines, canopy above roof requiring careful drop.
What raises the price: working over structures, working near power lines, wrong-season work on Live Oak, emergency or storm-driven trim.

On-site visit, verbal assessment: $150-300. One or two trees, 30-90 minutes.
With written report: $300-600. Report is needed for insurance claims, HOA disputes, or when you want documentation for your own records.
Complex cases: $600-1500+. Multiple trees, expert testimony support, ongoing tree health plans.

Two factors, both moderate.
Regional labor cost. Tyler is not high-cost Texas (not Austin, not Houston). Skilled tree work still commands a premium, but base labor is 15-25% below national urban averages.
Tree species mix. Live Oak and Post Oak (dense, heavy, oak-wilt considerations) are common here in ways that raise the average job cost compared to regions with lighter softwood mixes. Loblolly Pine (light, fast) balances that some.
Net: Tyler prices are similar to national averages for tree service, maybe 5-10% below on straightforward jobs.
