Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, one of our licensed arborists comes to your property for a free assessment. We evaluate the tree, check for any obstacles like power lines or structures, and explain exactly what the removal will involve. You get a detailed estimate with no hidden costs.

On removal day, our crew arrives with professional equipment including cranes, chippers, and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, starting from the top and working down to avoid any damage to your property or landscaping.

The final step is complete cleanup and stump grinding if requested. All debris gets chipped and removed from your property. You’re left with a clean space ready for whatever you want to do next. The entire process typically takes one day for most residential trees.

How much does tree removal cost in Brookhaven?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. Most residential trees in Brookhaven range from $500 to $2,000 for complete removal. Larger trees near structures or power lines cost more due to the additional safety requirements and specialized equipment needed. Emergency removals typically carry a premium due to the urgent response required. The best way to get accurate pricing is through a free on-site estimate where our arborist can assess your specific situation and provide detailed costs upfront.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Brookhaven?

Brookhaven has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain zones. Generally, you need a permit for removing trees over a certain diameter or trees designated as significant. The town also has protected species that require special approval. However, emergency removals for safety reasons often have different requirements. We can help determine if your tree removal requires permits and assist with the application process if needed. It’s always better to check before starting any removal work.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals in Brookhaven take between 4-8 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Smaller trees under 30 feet might only take a few hours, while large oaks or maples near structures can take a full day. Complex removals requiring crane work or careful sectioning take longer than straightforward cuts. Weather conditions and ground access also affect timing. Our crew provides a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment so you know what to expect on removal day.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All debris gets cleaned up and removed as part of our standard service. Smaller branches and leaves go through the chipper, and the wood chips can be left for your use as mulch if you want them. Larger trunk sections are typically hauled away unless you specifically want to keep them for firewood. Our crew rakes and cleans the area so you’re not left with scattered debris. Stump grinding is available as an additional service to completely clear the area where the tree stood.

Can you remove trees near power lines?

Trees near power lines require special safety protocols and often coordination with the utility company. Our licensed arborists have the training and equipment to work safely around electrical hazards, but some situations require the power company to temporarily shut off service. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe removal. Never attempt to remove trees touching or near power lines yourself – this type of removal requires professional expertise and specialized equipment to prevent electrocution or power outages.

Do you offer emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we offer emergency tree removal for dangerous situations like storm damage, trees threatening structures, or trees blocking roads. Brookhaven experiences severe weather that can damage trees and create immediate safety hazards. Our emergency response prioritizes situations where trees pose immediate danger to people or property. While emergency services carry premium pricing due to the urgent response required, protecting your family and property from a dangerous tree is worth the investment. Call immediately if you have a tree emergency – don’t wait for regular business hours.
