Tree Removal Process Lake Success

Straightforward Process From Start to Finish

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area to plan the safest removal approach. Every tree is different, and factors like proximity to structures, power lines, and other vegetation determine our strategy.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom using proper rigging techniques to control where each piece falls. This isn’t about just cutting and hoping for the best – it’s calculated work that protects your property.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up all debris. You’re left with a clear area ready for whatever comes next, whether that’s new landscaping or just more open space to enjoy.

Complete Tree Cutting Services

Everything Included in Professional Removal

Your tree removal includes the complete job – cutting, rigging, stump grinding, and cleanup. We don’t leave you with a pile of branches and wood chips to deal with later.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or they become immediate safety hazards. Lake Success sees its share of nor’easters and summer storms that can turn healthy trees into dangerous situations overnight.

We handle all tree sizes and species common to Nassau County, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been growing for decades. Each removal is planned specifically for that tree and your property’s unique layout.

How much does tree removal cost in Lake Success?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, close to structures, or requiring crane access cost more due to the additional safety measures and equipment needed. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Lake Success?

Lake Success has specific tree preservation ordinances that may require permits for removing certain trees, especially those over 6 inches in diameter. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help determine if permits are needed for your specific situation. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees often qualify for emergency removal without permits, but healthy trees may require village approval. We handle the permit process when needed, saving you the hassle of navigating municipal requirements.

How quickly can you remove a storm-damaged tree?

Emergency tree removal typically happens within 24 hours, often sooner if the tree poses immediate danger to people or property. We prioritize situations where trees are blocking roads, threatening structures, or have damaged power lines. During major storms, response times may extend due to high demand, but we triage based on safety risks. For non-emergency situations, most removals are scheduled within a week of your estimate approval.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes landscape damage through proper planning and equipment use. We use plywood or mats to protect grass areas where heavy equipment operates and plan debris drop zones to avoid flower beds and shrubs. Some minor lawn disturbance is inevitable with large tree removals, but we restore affected areas as much as possible. The alternative – letting an unstable tree fall naturally – typically causes far more extensive damage to surrounding landscaping and potentially your home.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We handle all debris removal as part of our service, including hauling away logs, branches, and wood chips. If you want to keep firewood from the tree, we can cut logs to your preferred length and stack them in a designated area. Some customers request wood chips for mulching – we’re happy to leave those if you can use them. Otherwise, everything gets removed from your property, leaving you with a clean area ready for whatever you have planned next.

Are you insured for tree removal work?

Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage specifically for tree removal operations. This protects both our crew and your property during the work. Tree removal involves significant risks, and proper insurance is non-negotiable in this business. We provide proof of insurance before starting any job, and our coverage meets or exceeds Lake Success municipal requirements. Never hire uninsured tree services – the potential costs of property damage or injury claims far exceed any upfront savings.
