Complete Tree Cutting Services

Everything Handled From Start to Finish

Our tree removal service includes the complete job – not just cutting down the tree. We handle permit applications when needed, since some East Farmingdale tree removals require municipal approval. We coordinate with utility companies if power lines are involved.

Our service covers emergency tree removal for storm damage situations, planned removals for healthy trees that need to come down, and removal of diseased or dying trees that pose safety risks. Stump grinding is available to completely clear the area, and we can handle trees of any size.

All debris gets removed from your property – you don’t need to worry about disposal or cleanup. We bring the equipment needed for your specific situation, whether that’s a crane for large trees in tight spaces or specialized rigging for trees near structures.

How much does tree removal cost in East Farmingdale?

Tree removal costs vary based on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near your house or power lines can cost several thousand. The price includes cutting, cleanup, and debris removal. Most companies provide free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Emergency removals after storms typically cost more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved.

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

East Farmingdale has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you need a permit for trees over a certain diameter or trees that are considered significant to the community. The requirements can vary based on your exact location and the tree species. A professional tree service company will know the local regulations and can help you determine if a permit is needed. We often handle the permit application process as part of our service.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

Most residential tree removals take between 2-8 hours, depending on the tree’s size and location. A small tree in an open yard might be done in a couple of hours, while a large oak near your house could take a full day. Complex removals that require piece-by-piece dismantling take longer than trees that can be felled in one piece. Weather conditions and access to the tree also affect timing. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote.

Is the tree service company insured for potential damage?

Professional tree removal companies carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you if something goes wrong during the removal process. Always verify insurance coverage before hiring any tree service – ask to see current certificates and make sure the coverage amounts are adequate for your property value. Uninsured tree services might seem cheaper upfront, but you could be liable for any damage to your property or injuries that occur during the work.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

Most tree services include complete debris removal in their pricing. We’ll cut the wood into manageable pieces and haul everything away, including branches, leaves, and wood chips. We can leave firewood if you request it, though there’s usually an additional fee for cutting and stacking. The stump is typically ground down separately – this might be included in the original quote or offered as an add-on service. Make sure to clarify what’s included in cleanup before the work begins.

Can you remove a tree that's close to my house or power lines?

We have the equipment and expertise to safely remove trees near structures and power lines. We use techniques like sectional dismantling, where the tree is removed piece by piece from the top down. For trees near power lines, the utility company may need to be involved to temporarily shut off power or provide clearance. This type of removal requires more skill and time, so it costs more than removing trees in open areas. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and should only be done by trained professionals.
