Everything's Included in Tree Removal

Tree removal means the whole job gets done. That includes sectioning large trees safely, protecting your property during the process, and hauling away every piece of debris.

East Rockaway properties often have mature trees in tight spaces. Our removal process accounts for overhead wires, neighboring homes, and established landscaping. Proper equipment makes the difference between a clean job and a disaster.

Stump grinding is available to finish the job completely. Most homeowners want the stump gone so they can replant, install landscaping, or just have a clean yard. The choice is yours, but the option is always there.

How much does tree removal cost in East Rockaway?

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 price includes cutting, debris removal, and cleanup. Factors that affect cost include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, and accessibility for equipment. Emergency removals typically cost more due to urgency and potential hazards.

Do I need a permit for tree removal in East Rockaway?

East Rockaway follows Nassau County regulations for tree removal. Generally, you don’t need a permit for trees on private property unless they’re protected species or in environmentally sensitive areas. However, if the tree is near property lines or could affect neighboring properties, it’s worth checking with the town. Trees near power lines require coordination with utility companies. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees can typically be removed without permits since they pose safety risks. We can help determine if permits are needed for your specific situation.

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 might be done in an hour or two. Large trees near structures require more time for careful sectioning and debris removal. Complex jobs involving multiple trees or difficult access can take a full day. Emergency removals happen as quickly as safety allows, often within hours of your call. Weather conditions can affect timing – high winds or storms may delay work for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment.

Will tree removal damage my yard or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your property, but some impact is inevitable with large trees. We use protective measures like plywood over sensitive areas and careful equipment placement. The biggest potential damage comes from heavy equipment accessing the tree and debris falling during removal. Established landscaping near the tree may be temporarily affected, but we work to preserve as much as possible. Lawn damage from equipment can usually be repaired with reseeding or sod. Discuss your concerns about specific plants or features during the initial consultation so we can plan accordingly.

Can you remove trees near power lines?

Trees near power lines require special expertise and coordination with utility companies. We have the training and equipment to work safely around electrical hazards. In many cases, the utility company needs to be notified or may need to temporarily shut off power during removal. Never attempt to remove trees touching or near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. As licensed arborists, we know the proper clearance distances and safety protocols. If your tree is threatening power lines, call us immediately. Emergency situations involving downed power lines require utility company response first.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

Complete tree removal includes hauling away all debris unless you request otherwise. The wood gets recycled – larger pieces often go to lumber mills or firewood suppliers, while smaller branches get chipped for mulch. Some homeowners want to keep firewood for personal use, which we can usually arrange. Leaves and small debris typically get composted or disposed of properly. Stump grinding creates wood chips that can be left for your use as mulch or hauled away with the rest of the debris. The goal is leaving your property clean and ready for whatever you plan next, whether that’s new landscaping or just enjoying the open space.
