Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, a certified arborist visits your property to assess the tree and surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, determine the safest removal method, and provide a written estimate with no hidden fees.

On removal day, our crew arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, lowering pieces with ropes and rigging to avoid damage to your house, fence, or other landscaping. Large trees get cut in manageable sections from top to bottom.

Cleanup happens immediately. Our crew chips branches, cuts trunk sections for removal, and cleans up all debris. If you want stump grinding, we handle that too. Your property looks clean and ready for whatever comes next.

How much does tree removal cost in Jericho?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. 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, houses, or in tight spaces cost more due to additional safety requirements and specialized equipment. Every estimate includes removal, cleanup, and debris hauling. Stump grinding is usually an additional $100-300 depending on stump size. The best way to get accurate pricing is a free on-site assessment where we can see exactly what’s involved in your specific situation.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Jericho?

Jericho has specific tree removal regulations, especially for larger trees and those in certain locations. Trees over 8 inches in diameter typically require permits, and there are additional restrictions for trees near property lines or in environmentally sensitive areas. The permit process can take several weeks, so it’s best to start early. We help customers understand local requirements and can assist with permit applications when needed. Dead, diseased, or dangerous trees often qualify for expedited permits. It’s always better to check with the town before removing any significant tree to avoid potential fines.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special training and equipment. Our certified arborists are trained in electrical hazard awareness and use specialized techniques to safely remove trees around power lines. However, if branches are actually touching power lines, the utility company usually needs to disconnect power temporarily. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe working conditions. Never attempt to remove trees touching power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. We assess each situation carefully and take all necessary precautions to protect our crew and your property during the removal process.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree removal?

Tree trimming removes specific branches to improve tree health, shape, or safety while keeping the tree alive. Tree removal takes down the entire tree, usually because it’s dead, diseased, dangerous, or unwanted. Trimming costs less and can often solve problems like overhanging branches or dead limbs without removing a healthy tree. However, some trees are too damaged, diseased, or poorly located to save through trimming. Our arborists assess each tree’s condition and location to recommend the best approach. Sometimes a tree that looks like it needs removal can actually be saved with proper trimming and care.

How long does tree removal take?

Small trees typically take 1-3 hours to remove completely, including cleanup. Medium trees (30-60 feet) usually take half a day, while large trees can take a full day or more. Complex removals near houses, power lines, or in tight spaces take longer due to careful sectioning and rigging requirements. Weather conditions, crew size, and equipment access also affect timing. We provide time estimates during the initial assessment so you know what to expect. Emergency removals often happen faster since safety is the priority, but we still maintain proper safety protocols throughout the process.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Most branches get chipped into mulch and hauled away as part of our standard service. Trunk sections are typically cut into manageable pieces and removed unless you specifically want to keep the wood for firewood or other uses. If you want to keep the wood, let us know during the estimate so we can cut it to your preferred lengths and stack it where you want it. Some customers like to keep hardwood for firewood or woodworking projects. We can also arrange to have the wood processed into lumber if the tree is large enough and the wood quality justifies it, though this involves additional costs and time.
