Here's How Your Tree Gets Removed

First, a certified arborist evaluates your tree and the surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, plan the removal strategy, and explain exactly what will happen. You get a clear, written estimate with no surprises.

On removal day, our crew arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, controlling each piece to avoid damage to your property. Larger trees are removed in sections from top to bottom, while smaller trees might come down in one piece if space allows.

After the tree is down, we handle complete cleanup. All branches, logs, and debris are removed from your property. If you want stump grinding, that happens next, leaving your yard ready for whatever comes next. You’re left with a clean property and one less problem to worry about.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included in Your Tree Removal

Your tree removal includes the complete job from start to finish. That means professional assessment, safe removal using proper equipment, and thorough cleanup of all debris. No hidden fees for hauling away branches or cleaning up the mess.

Emergency tree service is available when storms hit Amityville. Fallen trees blocking driveways, damaged trees threatening structures, or trees tangled in power lines get priority response. We understand that storm damage can’t wait for business hours.

Stump grinding is available as an add-on service if you want the tree completely gone. This prevents regrowth and gives you full use of your yard space. For properties with multiple trees or ongoing maintenance needs, we can develop a comprehensive tree care plan that addresses current problems and prevents future issues.

How much does tree removal cost in Amityville?

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 large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. The biggest factors are tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, and accessibility for equipment. Emergency removals typically cost more due to the urgency and potential hazards involved. Every job gets a written estimate after an on-site evaluation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.

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

Amityville and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without a permit, but larger trees may require approval from the town. Trees near wetlands, in historic districts, or designated as “significant” often need permits regardless of size. The permitting process can take several weeks, so it’s worth checking requirements early. For emergency situations involving safety hazards, different rules may apply. A local arborist can help you understand what’s required for your specific situation.

Is tree removal covered by homeowner's insurance?

Insurance coverage for tree removal depends on why the tree needs to come down. If a healthy tree falls due to wind, ice, or other covered weather events and damages your home, fence, or other structures, removal is typically covered. However, if the tree was diseased, dying, or you simply want it removed for aesthetic reasons, that’s usually considered maintenance and not covered. Insurance also may not cover removal of trees that fall without causing property damage. It’s worth checking with your insurance company before scheduling removal, especially for expensive jobs or storm-damaged trees.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

Most single tree removals take 2-8 hours depending on the tree’s size and complexity. Small trees in open areas might be down and cleaned up in a couple hours, while large trees near buildings require careful sectioning and can take a full day. Multiple trees or challenging locations add time. Weather conditions, equipment access, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. Emergency removals often happen faster because safety is the priority, but complete cleanup might be scheduled for later. During your estimate, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific situation.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Standard tree removal includes hauling away all debris, but you have options for the wood. Many homeowners want everything removed and disposed of, which is included in our service. If you want to keep some wood for firewood, that can usually be arranged—just let our crew know beforehand so we can cut it to your preferred lengths. We can arrange for logs to be milled into lumber if the tree is suitable, though this involves additional coordination and costs. Large, valuable trees might even have salvage value. The key is discussing your preferences during the estimate so everyone’s on the same page.

Can you remove a tree without damaging my landscaping?

Professional tree removal is designed to minimize damage to surrounding plants, lawn, and hardscaping. We use techniques like sectional removal, rigging systems, and protective barriers to control where tree pieces fall. However, some impact is often unavoidable, especially with large trees or in tight spaces. Heavy equipment may compact soil or damage grass, and falling branches can affect nearby plants. Our goal is to minimize damage while safely removing the tree. During your estimate, we’ll explain what to expect and discuss ways to protect valuable landscaping features. Most lawn damage recovers with proper care, and replanting is always an option.
