How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

We provide 24/7 emergency response for dangerous tree situations in Islip. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or poses an immediate safety threat, we prioritize these calls. During major storms, we typically respond within hours depending on the severity of the situation and road conditions. For urgent but non-emergency situations, we usually schedule within 24-48 hours. We understand that tree emergencies can’t wait, especially when safety is involved.

Do you handle permits and work near power lines?

Yes, we handle all necessary permits for tree removal in Islip and coordinate with PSEG Long Island when working near power lines. Many homeowners don’t realize that certain tree work requires permits, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. We know the local regulations and take care of the paperwork for you. When trees are touching or near power lines, we follow strict safety protocols and work with the utility company to ensure safe removal. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and often illegal.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance and basic maintenance, while pruning is more precise work focused on tree health and structure. Pruning involves removing dead, diseased, or problematic branches at specific points to promote healthy growth. As certified arborists, we focus on proper pruning techniques that improve your tree’s long-term health and reduce future problems. Poor trimming can actually harm trees and create weak points that fail during storms. The timing also matters – some species should only be pruned during dormant seasons to prevent disease.

How do you determine if a tree needs to be removed?

We assess several factors including structural integrity, disease, root damage, and proximity to structures. Dead or dying trees obviously need removal, but we also look for signs like extensive decay, large dead branches, root damage from construction, or lean that indicates instability. Sometimes trees are healthy but poorly located – too close to houses, septic systems, or power lines. We always try to save healthy trees when possible through proper pruning or other treatments. Our certified arborists can spot problems that aren’t obvious to homeowners, like internal decay or root issues that compromise stability.

What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?

Complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our service. We chip smaller branches on-site and haul away all debris unless you request otherwise. Many customers want to keep firewood from removed trees, which we’re happy to cut and stack for you. We can also leave wood chips for your landscaping if you’d like them for mulch. Stump grinding is typically a separate service, but we handle that too if requested. We never leave your property messy – part of our professional service is leaving your yard cleaner than we found it.

How much does tree removal cost in Islip?

Tree removal costs vary significantly based on size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees might cost a few hundred dollars, while large trees near structures can cost several thousand. Factors that affect pricing include tree height and diameter, proximity to buildings or power lines, accessibility for equipment, and whether additional services like stump grinding are needed. We provide free, written estimates with no surprises. Emergency removals during storms typically cost more due to increased danger and urgency. The cheapest option isn’t always the best – proper insurance and certified arborists are worth the investment for safety and liability protection.
