On removal day, our crew arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, protecting your property and landscaping. Each cut is planned to control where branches fall.

Emergency Tree Service Inwood

Complete Tree Removal Service

Every tree removal includes site assessment, professional cutting, complete debris removal, and final cleanup. We handle permit applications when required and coordinate with utility companies if power lines are involved.

Emergency response is available for storm damage and hazardous situations. Inwood’s mature trees and older neighborhoods mean emergency calls happen, especially during severe weather. We respond quickly to secure dangerous situations.

Stump grinding is available as an add-on service. Most customers choose to have stumps removed completely rather than deal with them later. Our equipment grinds stumps below ground level, so you can plant grass or landscaping right over the spot.

How much does tree removal cost in Inwood, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety requirements and specialized equipment needed. Every estimate is free, and pricing includes complete debris removal and cleanup. The final cost depends on your specific situation, which is why an on-site assessment is always the most accurate way to get pricing.

Do I need a permit for tree removal in Inwood?

Permit requirements vary depending on the tree’s size, species, and location on your property. Generally, you don’t need permits for dead, diseased, or dangerous trees, but healthy trees over a certain diameter may require approval. Trees in protected areas or those considered significant to the neighborhood might have additional restrictions. We’ll assess your situation during the estimate and let you know if permits are needed. If permits are required, Green Light Tree Services can help with the application process and ensure all local regulations are followed properly.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special safety protocols and often coordination with the utility company. Our crew is trained in electrical hazard awareness and uses specialized techniques to work safely around power lines. In some cases, the utility company needs to temporarily shut off power or be present during the removal. This type of work takes longer and requires additional safety measures, which affects the timeline and cost. The safety assessment during the estimate will determine the exact requirements for your situation and whether utility company involvement is necessary.

How long does tree removal take to complete?

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 under two hours, while large trees in tight spaces can take a full day. Trees requiring special equipment, permit coordination, or utility company involvement take longer. Emergency removals for storm damage get priority scheduling and often happen within 24 hours. The estimate appointment will include a timeline for your specific job, so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All debris removal is included in the service. Large wood pieces can be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if requested, otherwise everything gets hauled away. Branches and smaller debris go to recycling facilities where they’re turned into mulch or biomass. We rake and clean the area, removing sawdust and small debris. If you want to keep some of the wood for personal use, just mention it during the estimate. The goal is to leave your property clean and ready for whatever you plan to do with the space.

Do you offer emergency tree removal services?

Yes, emergency tree removal is available for dangerous situations like storm damage, trees on structures, or trees blocking roads. Emergency calls get priority response, often within hours depending on the severity and safety risk. We carry equipment for emergency situations and can secure dangerous trees even if complete removal has to wait for daylight or better weather. Emergency service rates may be higher due to the urgent response time and after-hours work. If you have a tree emergency, call immediately to report the situation and get guidance on immediate safety steps while help is on the way.
