Tree Removal Process

Here's Exactly How We Remove Your Tree

First, a certified arborist evaluates your tree and explains the removal plan. You’ll know exactly what’s happening, how long it takes, and what it costs before any work begins.

On removal day, our crew sets up safety zones and uses professional equipment to bring the tree down in sections. This protects your house, your neighbor’s property, and your landscaping. Large trees require crane work – we bring the right equipment for the job.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and haul away every branch, log, and piece of debris. Your yard is cleaned up completely. The only evidence we were there is the empty space where your problem tree used to be.

Emergency Tree Removal Medford

Complete Tree Removal Service

Tree removal includes everything from assessment to final cleanup. We handle emergency storm damage, dead or diseased tree removal, and trees that have outgrown their space. Stump grinding is included with most removals.

Medford properties often deal with oak, maple, and pine trees damaged by coastal storms. Our crew understands how these species fail and can spot problems before they become emergencies. We also handle permit applications when you’re removing protected trees.

For emergency situations, Green Light Tree Services provides rapid response when trees fall on homes or block driveways. We work directly with insurance companies and understand what documentation you need for claims.

How much does tree removal cost in Medford, 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. Medium trees run $800-1,500. Large trees over 60 feet or those requiring crane work can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees close to houses or power lines cost more due to the precision required. Every job gets a free estimate so you know the exact cost upfront with no surprises.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Medford?

Medford requires permits for removing certain protected trees, typically those over 6 inches in diameter. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees usually don’t require permits, but emergency removals still need documentation. The permit process takes 2-4 weeks, so plan ahead for non-emergency removals. We handle permit applications and know which trees require approval. We’ll let you know during the estimate if permits are needed and help with the paperwork.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees can be removed in under two hours. Large trees or those requiring crane work may take a full day. Emergency storm damage removals are prioritized and typically handled within 24 hours. The timeline also depends on cleanup requirements – complete debris removal and stump grinding add time but leave your property completely clear.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn damage through careful planning and proper equipment. Heavy machinery may leave some tire marks on soft ground, but significant damage is rare when the job is done correctly. We use plywood or mats to protect sensitive areas when necessary. Most lawn damage from tree removal is minor and recovers quickly. Any unavoidable damage is discussed upfront during the estimate so there are no surprises.

Can you remove trees close to my house safely?

Yes, removing trees near structures requires specialized techniques and equipment. We use ropes, pulleys, and sometimes cranes to control exactly where each piece falls. Trees are removed in sections rather than felled whole when they’re close to buildings. This precision work takes longer but protects your home completely. Green Light Tree Services has the experience and equipment to safely remove trees just feet from houses, garages, and other structures.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, Green Light Tree Services provides 24/7 emergency tree removal for storm damage and hazardous situations. Emergency calls are prioritized, especially when trees fall on homes or block access roads. We respond quickly to make properties safe and prevent further damage. Emergency services cost more than scheduled removals due to the urgent response and often difficult working conditions, but they’re available when you need them most.
