How much does tree removal cost in Great Neck Gardens?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800. Medium trees run $800-1500. Large trees over 60 feet or those requiring crane services can cost $1500-4000 or more. Emergency removals during storms cost extra due to increased risk and urgency. The best way to get accurate pricing is through an on-site evaluation where our arborist can assess the specific challenges your tree presents.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Great Neck Gardens?

Great Neck Gardens has specific tree protection ordinances that may require permits for removing certain trees. Generally, you need a permit for healthy trees over 6 inches in diameter. Dead, diseased, or dangerous trees can usually be removed without permits, but documentation may be required. Trees in protected areas or those designated as significant specimens have stricter requirements. Our professional arborists are familiar with local regulations and can help determine if permits are needed and assist with the application process if required.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-8 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees in open areas might be done in a couple hours. Large trees near structures requiring careful sectioning can take a full day. Trees needing crane services add time for equipment setup and safety procedures. Weather conditions and access to your property also affect timing. Emergency removals happen as quickly as safety allows, often within hours of your call during storm situations.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes landscape damage through proper planning and protection methods. Our crews use plywood, tarps, and barriers to protect grass, plants, and hardscaping. Heavy equipment stays on designated paths when possible. Some minor lawn damage is unavoidable with large tree removals, especially if cranes or heavy machinery are needed. However, our experienced arborists know how to work efficiently while preserving as much of your existing landscape as possible. Any necessary repairs are discussed upfront so you know what to expect.

Can you remove trees during winter months?

We provide tree removal year-round in Great Neck Gardens, including winter months. Cold weather actually offers some advantages – frozen ground reduces lawn damage from heavy equipment, and dormant trees are easier to assess without leaves. However, ice storms and severe weather can delay scheduled removals for safety reasons. Our emergency services remain available during winter storms when trees fall on homes or block roads. Winter removals may take slightly longer due to weather conditions, but we get the work done safely and thoroughly regardless of season.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

After tree removal, wood disposal depends on your preferences and the tree species. Branches and smaller wood typically get chipped on-site, with chips either removed or left for your use as mulch. Larger trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths if you want to keep them, or hauled away with the rest of the debris. Some valuable wood species like oak or maple might be suitable for lumber, though this depends on the tree’s condition and size. Complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our service, so you don’t have to worry about disposing of anything yourself.
