Tree Removal Process Herricks

How We Remove Trees Safely

First, we assess the tree and your property. We look at the tree’s condition, nearby structures, power lines, and the best way to bring it down safely. You get a clear explanation of what we’ll do and a written estimate.

On removal day, we section the tree from top to bottom. Large trees get cut in pieces and lowered with ropes to avoid damage to your landscaping or structures. We use professional equipment designed for safe tree removal.

After the tree is down, we handle all the cleanup. Branches get chipped, logs get removed, and the stump gets ground down if requested. We rake up debris and leave your property clean. Most jobs are completed in one day.

What's Included in Tree Removal

Every tree removal includes professional assessment, safe cutting and removal, and complete cleanup. We bring all necessary equipment including chainsaws, ropes, chippers, and safety gear.

You also get protection. We’re licensed and carry full insurance coverage so you’re protected if something goes wrong. Most homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover damage from unlicensed tree work.

Emergency tree service is available when storms hit Herricks. Fallen trees blocking driveways or threatening structures get priority response. We understand that some tree problems can’t wait until Monday morning.

How much does tree removal cost in Herricks, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 25 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 50 feet can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, close to structures, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety measures required. We provide free written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Do you remove the stump after cutting down the tree?

Stump removal is typically a separate service from tree removal. When we cut down a tree, we cut it as close to ground level as possible, usually leaving a stump 6-12 inches high. Stump grinding requires different equipment and adds to the overall cost. Many homeowners choose to have stumps ground down to prevent regrowth and improve the appearance of their yard. We can handle stump grinding as part of the same project or schedule it separately.

How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?

Several signs indicate a tree should be removed: dead or dying branches throughout the canopy, fungal growth on the trunk, significant lean toward structures, root damage from construction, or storm damage that compromises the tree’s stability. If more than 50% of the tree is damaged or diseased, removal is usually the safest option. Our licensed arborists can assess your tree’s health and safety risks during a free consultation, giving you professional guidance on whether removal is necessary.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special safety protocols and equipment. We’re trained to work around electrical hazards and follow strict safety guidelines when removing trees close to power lines. However, if branches are actually touching power lines, the utility company may need to disconnect power temporarily during removal. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe removal. Never attempt to remove trees touching power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we offer emergency tree removal services for storm damage, fallen trees, and dangerous situations that pose immediate risks to people or property. Emergency calls get priority response, often within hours of your call. Common emergency situations include trees fallen across driveways, branches on roofs, or trees threatening to fall on structures. Emergency services typically cost more than scheduled removal due to the urgent response and potential after-hours work, but we focus on making your property safe quickly.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your existing landscaping, but some impact is unavoidable, especially with large trees. We use plywood to protect lawn areas where equipment travels and plan our approach to avoid flower beds and shrubs when possible. Heavy equipment may leave tire marks on soft ground, and falling branches can damage nearby plants despite our precautions. We discuss potential impacts during the estimate and take steps to minimize damage. Most lawn damage recovers naturally within a growing season.
