When the job’s done, you’ll have clear sight lines, eliminated hazards, and the confidence that comes from knowing your family and home are protected. Plus, your insurance company will thank you for being proactive instead of reactive.

Tree Removal Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area to determine the safest removal method. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why, plus a detailed estimate with no surprises.

On removal day, we set up protection for your landscaping and property, then use specialized equipment to remove the tree in sections. This controlled approach prevents damage to your home, driveway, or other trees.

After removal, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up all debris. You won’t find wood chips in your flower beds or branches scattered across your lawn. The area is left ready for whatever you want to do next – whether that’s new landscaping or simply enjoying the open space.

Complete Service, Start to Finish

Tree removal includes everything needed to get the job done right. Professional assessment by certified arborists, safe removal using proper equipment, stump grinding, and complete debris cleanup.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or create immediate hazards. We understand that a tree across your driveway or threatening your power lines can’t wait for a convenient appointment.

How much does tree removal cost in Cutchogue, NY?

Tree removal costs vary based on size, location, and complexity, but most residential removals in Cutchogue range from $800 to $3,000. A 30-foot oak in an open area costs less than the same tree hanging over your house or near power lines. The estimate includes removal, stump grinding, and cleanup – no hidden fees for hauling away debris or additional equipment. Emergency removals may cost more due to urgency and after-hours work, but you’ll know the price before any work begins.

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

Most tree removals on private property in Cutchogue don’t require permits, but there are exceptions for very large trees or those in protected areas. If your tree is near wetlands, in a scenic corridor, or over a certain size, you may need approval from the Town of Southold. We can help determine if permits are needed and guide you through the process if required. It’s always better to check first than deal with potential fines or complications later.

How do I know if my tree actually needs removal?

Dead, dying, or severely damaged trees should be removed for safety. Signs include extensive dead branches, fungal growth on the trunk, significant lean toward structures, or root damage from construction. However, many trees that look problematic can actually be saved with proper pruning or treatment. A certified arborist can assess whether removal is necessary or if other options exist. Don’t let someone talk you into removing a healthy tree just because it’s large or drops leaves – get a professional opinion first.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal should minimize damage to your property. We use protective mats for heavy equipment, remove trees in sections to control where they fall, and plan access routes to avoid flower beds and other landscaping. Some minor lawn damage is possible with large removals, but it’s typically limited to tire tracks that recover quickly. The key is working with experienced professionals who respect your property and have the right equipment for the job.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special expertise and coordination with utility companies. For trees touching or very close to power lines, the utility company may need to temporarily shut off power during removal. We have experience working around electrical hazards and follow strict safety protocols. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – even “dead” lines can be energized without warning. Professional arborists have the training and equipment to handle these dangerous situations safely.

What's included in your tree removal service?

Complete tree removal includes cutting down the tree, stump grinding to below ground level, and hauling away all debris. The area is left clean and ready for your next project. This covers everything from initial assessment through final cleanup – no extra charges for hauling branches or grinding the stump. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, that can usually be arranged. The goal is to handle everything so you don’t have to worry about disposal or cleanup.
