How much does tree removal cost in Great River, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically range from $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces require specialized techniques that affect pricing. The best approach is getting an on-site estimate where our arborist can assess your specific situation, measure the tree, and identify any complications that impact the job.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Great River?

Great River tree removal permits depend on tree size, species, and location on your property. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without permits, but larger trees or those in protected areas may require approval from the Town of Islip. Dead, diseased, or immediately hazardous trees often qualify for emergency removal without permits. We can help determine if your tree removal requires permits and guide you through the application process if needed.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. Small trees in open areas can be removed in under 2 hours, while large trees near structures require careful sectioning that takes a full day. Emergency removals after storms may take longer due to additional safety precautions and debris volume. Weather conditions, crew size, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. We provide time estimates during the initial assessment.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscaping damage through careful planning and protective measures. Our crews use plywood sheets to protect grass, position equipment strategically, and plan debris routes to avoid flower beds and shrubs. Some minor lawn damage from heavy equipment is possible, especially in wet conditions, but this typically recovers quickly. We discuss potential impacts during the estimate and take extra precautions around valuable landscaping features.

Can you remove trees in winter or bad weather?

We remove trees year-round in Great River, but weather conditions affect scheduling and safety protocols. Winter removal is often easier with leaves gone and frozen ground supporting equipment better. However, ice storms, high winds, or heavy snow postpone non-emergency work for safety reasons. Emergency removals after storms proceed once conditions are safe enough for our crews to work. We monitor weather forecasts and communicate any schedule changes promptly.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Wood disposal depends on your preferences and the tree species. Most homeowners prefer complete removal, where we chip branches and haul away trunk sections. Some customers keep firewood-quality logs for personal use or request wood chips for landscaping mulch. Diseased trees require special disposal to prevent spreading pathogens. We discuss wood disposal options during the estimate and accommodate your preferences when possible.
