Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra to Worry About

Every tree removal includes complete debris removal and site cleanup. You’re not stuck with piles of branches or wood chips scattered across your yard.

Stump grinding comes standard, not as an expensive add-on. We grind the stump 6-8 inches below grade so you can plant grass or landscaping immediately.

Emergency tree service is available for storm damage or trees that pose immediate safety risks. We respond quickly to secure your property and prevent further damage.

How much does tree removal cost in East Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra safety measures required. We provide free estimates that include all costs upfront – removal, cleanup, and stump grinding – so you know exactly what to expect.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in East Islip?

Most tree removals on private property in East Islip don’t require permits, but there are exceptions for very large trees or those in protected areas. The town of Islip has specific regulations about removing trees over certain sizes, especially if they’re considered significant to the neighborhood’s character. Green Light Tree Services knows the local requirements and can help determine if permits are needed. If permits are required, we can guide you through the application process to ensure everything is done legally and properly.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees in open areas can be removed in under 2 hours, while large trees near buildings or power lines may take a full day. Complex jobs requiring crane access or extensive safety measures take longer. We provide realistic timeframes during the estimate so you can plan accordingly. Emergency removals for storm damage get prioritized and often happen within 24 hours of your call.

Is tree removal covered by homeowner's insurance?

Insurance typically covers tree removal when the tree damages your home, garage, or other covered structures. If a tree falls on your house during a storm, removal costs are usually covered as part of the damage claim. However, insurance rarely covers “preventive” removal of healthy trees or cleanup of trees that fall in your yard without causing property damage. Green Light Tree Services can work directly with your insurance company and provide the documentation needed for claims. We know what insurance adjusters look for and can help maximize your coverage.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

All debris gets removed from your property as part of the service. Branches and smaller wood get chipped and hauled away for proper disposal or recycling. Larger logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left on your property if you want them, or removed completely if you don’t. We handle all disposal according to local regulations – you don’t need to worry about finding a place to dump wood chips or arranging separate pickup. Everything gets cleaned up and your property gets restored to its original condition.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special training and equipment that Green Light Tree Services has. We are trained in electrical hazard awareness and use proper techniques to avoid contact with power lines. For trees directly touching or very close to power lines, the utility company may need to temporarily shut off power during removal. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe working conditions. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal without proper training and equipment.
