Tree Removal Process

Here's How We Remove Trees

First, we evaluate your tree and the surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, plan the safest removal approach, and explain exactly what’s going to happen.

Next, we section the tree down piece by piece if it’s near structures, or fell it whole if there’s room. Every cut is calculated to control where each piece falls. No guesswork, no hoping for the best.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every branch, leaf, and wood chip. Your property looks like we were never there – except for the missing tree that was causing you problems.

How much does tree removal cost in Southampton?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while a large oak near your house could run $1,500-3,000. We provide free estimates that include everything – removal, stump grinding, and cleanup. No hidden fees for hauling away debris or extra charges for difficult access. The price we quote is what you pay.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Southampton?

Southampton has specific tree protection ordinances, especially for larger trees or those in certain zones. Trees over 8 inches in diameter typically require permits, and there are additional restrictions near wetlands or in historic districts. We handle the permit application process and know which removals need approval. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees often get expedited permits. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are needed and take care of the paperwork.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. A straightforward removal in an open yard might be done in a couple hours. Complex jobs near structures or power lines take longer because we work more carefully. Large trees that need to be sectioned piece by piece can take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate and keep you updated if anything changes.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

We use protective mats under heavy equipment to prevent lawn damage and plan our approach to minimize impact on your landscaping. Some ground disturbance is inevitable with large tree removals, but we repair any ruts or damaged areas as part of the cleanup. We’re skilled at working in tight spaces and around valuable plants. We’ll discuss any concerns about specific landscaping features during the estimate and plan accordingly.

Can you remove trees in bad weather or emergencies?

We provide emergency tree removal services for storm damage, fallen trees, or immediate safety hazards. If a tree falls on your house or blocks your driveway, we can respond quickly to make the area safe. However, we won’t work in active severe weather conditions – that’s dangerous for everyone involved. Once conditions improve, we prioritize emergency calls. For non-emergency removals, we reschedule if weather makes the work unsafe.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We haul away all debris as part of our standard service – branches, logs, and wood chips all get removed from your property. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, just let us know and we’ll cut it to your preferred length and stack it where you want it. Large logs can be milled into lumber if the wood is suitable. We can also leave wood chips for mulch if you’d like them for your garden beds.
