Everything Your Trees Need Under One Roof

Tree removal for dead, diseased, or hazardous trees. Emergency storm damage cleanup when branches come down unexpectedly. Tree trimming and pruning to maintain health and appearance.

Stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and free up yard space. Crown reduction for trees that have outgrown their space. Cabling and bracing for trees worth saving but structurally compromised.

We also handle the details that matter – municipal permits when required, coordination with utility companies for trees near power lines, and working around your schedule to minimize disruption.

How much does tree removal cost in South Huntington?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. A small tree might run $300-800, while large trees near structures can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Emergency storm damage often costs more due to urgency and hazardous conditions. We provide free estimates that break down all costs including removal, stump grinding, and cleanup. The price includes complete debris removal unless you want to keep wood for firewood. Factors like proximity to power lines, fence lines, or structures affect pricing because they require more careful planning and specialized equipment.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

South Huntington and surrounding municipalities have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you need permits for trees over certain diameters or in environmentally sensitive zones. We help determine if permits are required and can handle the application process for you. Some emergency situations allow immediate removal for safety reasons, but documentation is still important. Removing trees without proper permits can result in fines and require expensive replacement plantings. We know local regulations and make sure your tree work stays compliant.

When is the best time to trim trees in New York?

Late fall through early spring is typically best for most tree trimming on Long Island, when trees are dormant and disease risk is lower. However, timing varies by species – oak trees should never be pruned during spring and early summer due to oak wilt disease risk. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm damage obviously can’t wait for ideal timing. We schedule routine maintenance during optimal windows but handle emergency situations year-round. Proper timing helps trees heal faster and reduces stress that can lead to disease or pest problems.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous and needs removal?

Look for obvious signs like large dead branches, significant lean toward structures, exposed roots, or hollow sections in the trunk. Fungal growth at the base often indicates internal rot. Cracks in major branches or the trunk itself signal structural problems. Trees that have lost more than 50% of their canopy rarely recover. However, some dangerous conditions aren’t visible to untrained eyes – internal decay, root problems, or structural weaknesses require professional assessment. We provide free evaluations to identify hazards and explain your options. Sometimes selective pruning or cabling can save a valuable tree that initially appears dangerous.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry full licensing and comprehensive insurance including general liability and workers compensation. Tree work involves significant risks to property and people, so proper insurance protects you from liability if accidents occur. We provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Our arborists maintain ISA certification and stay current with safety training. Many homeowner insurance policies require that tree work be performed by licensed, insured professionals to maintain coverage. Unlicensed tree services might save money upfront but can create expensive problems if something goes wrong during the job.

Do you provide emergency tree services after storms?

We respond to emergency calls when storms bring down trees or large branches that threaten safety or block access. Priority goes to situations involving power lines, blocked roadways, or immediate threats to structures. We’re equipped to work safely around downed power lines and coordinate with utility companies when necessary. Emergency response typically costs more than scheduled work due to urgency and often hazardous conditions. We focus first on making situations safe, then complete cleanup and removal when conditions allow. Having our contact information before storm season helps ensure faster response when you need emergency tree services.
