Tree Removal Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results Every Time

We start with a free estimate where our arborist evaluates the tree, surrounding structures, and access points. You get a clear explanation of the removal method and transparent pricing before any work begins.

On removal day, we set up safety barriers and protection for your landscaping and property. Large trees get sectioned down piece by piece to prevent damage. Smaller trees may come down in one piece if space allows.

Every branch, trunk section, and piece of debris gets loaded and hauled away. We grind the stump below ground level and fill the area with wood chips or soil. Your yard gets raked clean, and you’re left with a safe, usable space where that problem tree used to be.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Left Behind

Your tree removal includes cutting, sectioning, and complete debris removal. We bring the equipment needed for trees of any size, from small ornamentals to massive oaks that have been growing for decades.

Stump grinding comes standard because leaving stumps creates ongoing problems. We grind below ground level so you can plant grass, install landscaping, or use the space however you want.

Emergency tree service means we respond quickly when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. We understand that fallen trees blocking driveways or damaging structures can’t wait for a convenient appointment time.

How much does tree removal cost in Melville, 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 or more. Trees near power lines, close to structures, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety precautions and specialized equipment required. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including cutting, debris removal, and stump grinding, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Melville and Huntington Township have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Many removals don’t require permits, but trees over certain sizes or in environmentally sensitive areas may need approval. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you determine if permits are needed. As licensed professionals, we ensure all work complies with local regulations, which protects you from potential fines or legal issues down the road.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

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 an hour, while large trees near structures can take a full day. Complex removals requiring piece-by-piece sectioning take longer than trees that can be felled in one piece. Weather conditions, access limitations, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your property during tree removal. We use plywood and protective barriers to distribute equipment weight and prevent damage to lawns, driveways, and landscaping. Our arborists plan the removal method to minimize impact on surrounding plants and structures. Some minor lawn damage is possible with large tree removals, but we repair any significant damage as part of our service. Most homeowners are surprised by how clean and undisturbed their property looks after we finish.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special training, equipment, and coordination with utility companies. Our certified arborists are trained in electrical hazard awareness and use specialized techniques for trees growing into or near power lines. For trees actually touching power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe removal. We never attempt to remove trees from power lines without proper safety protocols and utility company involvement. Your safety and continued electrical service are too important to take shortcuts.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we provide emergency tree removal for storm damage, fallen trees, and immediate safety hazards. We understand that trees blocking driveways, damaging structures, or creating dangerous conditions can’t wait for regular business hours. Our emergency response focuses on making the situation safe and restoring access to your property. We’re equipped to handle most emergency situations, though extensive storm damage may require prioritizing based on safety risks and accessibility.
