Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your tree and the surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, plan the safest removal approach, and explain exactly what will happen before any cutting begins.

The actual removal happens in sections when needed. Large trees get taken down piece by piece to avoid damage to your house, fence, or landscaping. Smaller trees might come down in one piece if space allows.

Cleanup is part of the job. All debris gets hauled away, and the area gets cleaned up so you’re not left with a mess. The stump can be ground down if you want the area completely clear, or left if you prefer to handle that separately.

Emergency tree service is available when storms hit Islip. Fallen trees blocking driveways or threatening structures get priority response. We can handle everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been growing for decades.

How much does tree removal cost in Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area costs less than a large oak hanging over your house. Most residential tree removals in Islip range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

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

Permit requirements vary depending on the tree’s size and your property’s location within Islip. Some areas have tree preservation ordinances that require permits for removing healthy trees over certain sizes. We can help you understand local requirements and handle permit applications if needed. Emergency removals for dangerous or storm-damaged trees typically don’t require permits, but it’s always best to check first.

How long does tree removal take?

Most tree removals take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the tree’s size and location. A small tree in an open yard might be done in 2-3 hours including cleanup. Large trees near structures require more careful planning and sectional removal, which can take 6-8 hours or more. Weather conditions and access to your property also affect timing.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your property, but some impact is unavoidable when heavy equipment is involved. We use protective measures like plywood over delicate areas and plan access routes to avoid unnecessary damage. Any significant lawn damage gets addressed as part of the cleanup process. Most minor impacts from foot traffic and equipment recover naturally within a few weeks.

Can you remove trees close to power lines?

Trees near power lines require special handling and coordination with utility companies. If branches are touching or very close to power lines, the utility company may need to shut off power temporarily during removal. We are trained to work around electrical hazards safely and will coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Most wood gets hauled away as part of the standard cleanup, but you can keep it if you want firewood or have other uses for it. Large trunk sections can be cut to length for firewood if you request it. Some customers like to keep sections for landscaping projects or woodworking. Just let us know your preferences before the job starts, and we’ll accommodate your needs.
