Licensed Arborists Farmingdale NY

Farmingdale Tree Experts Since Day One

Green Light Tree Services has been handling tree removal throughout Farmingdale and Nassau County for years. Our arborists know Long Island trees—which species handle storms, which ones become hazards, and how to remove them without destroying your landscaping.

We’re fully licensed and insured because tree work is serious business. When a 50-foot oak needs to come down near your house, you want professionals with the right equipment and coverage, not someone with a chainsaw and a pickup truck.

Every job gets the same careful approach whether it’s an emergency removal or planned tree cutting. We’ve seen what happens when tree work goes wrong, and we make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Tree Cutting Process Farmingdale

Careful Planning Prevents Property Damage

We start by assessing the tree and surrounding area. Where will each section fall? What’s the safest cutting sequence? How do we protect your house, cars, and landscaping?

Next comes the systematic removal. Large trees get cut in sections, with each piece carefully lowered using ropes and rigging. We don’t just drop huge sections and hope for the best.

The final step is complete cleanup. We chip the branches, cut the trunk into manageable pieces, and haul everything away. You’re left with a clean yard and the option for stump grinding if you want that root system gone too. No debris pile sitting in your driveway for weeks.

Emergency Tree Service Farmingdale

Complete Tree Removal Service Included

Your tree removal includes the full job—cutting, cleanup, and debris removal. We bring specialized equipment like bucket trucks and wood chippers to handle the work efficiently without tearing up your property.

Emergency response is available when storms hit Farmingdale. Fallen trees blocking driveways or threatening structures get priority scheduling because we know you can’t wait three weeks for normal availability.

We also handle the tricky situations other companies avoid. Trees growing between houses, near power lines, or in tight spaces require careful planning and proper equipment. That’s exactly the kind of challenging work our arborists handle regularly throughout Nassau County.

How much does tree removal cost in Farmingdale, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost less than large oaks or maples near structures. Trees in tight spaces or requiring crane work cost more due to the specialized equipment needed. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprise charges for cleanup or disposal. Emergency removals may have different pricing due to after-hours response, but we’ll explain all costs before starting any work.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations throughout Farmingdale and Nassau County. When storms knock down trees that block driveways, damage roofs, or create safety hazards, we prioritize these calls for same-day or next-day service. We understand that fallen trees can’t wait for regular scheduling—you need access to your home and immediate safety concerns addressed. Our emergency response includes full removal and cleanup, not just cutting the tree off your driveway and leaving you with a massive pile of debris.

Are you licensed and insured for tree removal work?

Absolutely. Green Light Tree Services carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Our arborists are licensed professionals who understand proper tree removal techniques and safety protocols. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property during tree work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Never hire unlicensed tree services—if they damage your property or someone gets hurt, you could be held responsible for costs that insurance should cover.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or driveway?

We take specific steps to protect your landscaping during tree removal. Our equipment includes ground protection mats that distribute weight and prevent ruts in your lawn. For trees near driveways or patios, we use rigging techniques to lower sections carefully rather than dropping them. Large trees get cut in manageable pieces to avoid ground impact damage. While some minor lawn disturbance is sometimes unavoidable with very large trees, we minimize it through proper planning and equipment. Any significant damage would be discussed upfront so you know what to expect.

Do you remove the tree stump after cutting down the tree?

Tree removal typically includes cutting the trunk to ground level, leaving the stump. Stump grinding is a separate service that completely removes the root system below ground. Many customers choose stump grinding if they want to plant grass, install landscaping, or eliminate the tripping hazard. Others leave stumps if they’re in wooded areas or plan to plant another tree nearby. We offer stump grinding as an add-on service and can handle it the same day as tree removal or schedule it separately based on your preferences and timeline.

How long does it take to remove a large tree?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. A straightforward removal of a tree in an open yard goes faster than one surrounded by structures or power lines. Large trees near houses require more time for careful sectional removal and rigging. Weather conditions and ground access also affect timing—we work more slowly in wet conditions for safety. We’ll give you a time estimate during the initial assessment so you can plan accordingly. Emergency removals get expedited scheduling, but the actual work time depends on doing the job safely.
