Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area. Our arborist identifies the safest removal method and spots any potential complications before we start cutting.

Next, we protect your property. Tarps go down, sensitive plants get covered, and we map out exactly where each piece will fall. No surprises.

Then we remove the tree systematically from top to bottom. Large trees get taken down in sections to maintain complete control. Small trees might come down in one piece if space allows.

Finally, we clean everything up. Branches get chipped, logs get hauled away, and we rake up every twig. You shouldn’t have to touch a thing once we’re gone.

Emergency Tree Removal

Complete Tree Removal Service

Every tree removal includes cutting, cleanup, and debris removal. We don’t leave you with a pile of branches and a stump. The job isn’t done until your property looks clean.

Stump grinding is available if you want the area completely clear for new landscaping. We can grind stumps below ground level so you can plant grass or install new features right over the spot.

Emergency response is available for storm-damaged trees threatening structures or blocking access. We understand that some tree problems can’t wait for business hours, especially when safety is involved.

How much does tree removal cost in Mineola?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800. Medium trees 30-60 feet run $800-1500. Large trees over 60 feet or those near structures can cost $1500-3000 or more. We provide free estimates that break down all costs including cleanup and disposal. Emergency removals and difficult access situations may cost more due to additional safety requirements and specialized equipment needs.

Do you remove the stump when you cut down a tree?

Basic tree removal includes cutting the tree as close to ground level as possible, but stump grinding is a separate service. Most customers choose stump grinding if they want to plant grass, install landscaping, or eliminate the tripping hazard. We can grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level. If you’re not sure whether you need stump removal, we can always come back later since the underground root system takes years to fully decompose on its own.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

Small trees often take 1-2 hours including cleanup. Medium-sized trees typically require 2-4 hours. Large trees or complicated removals can take a full day or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces take longer because we work more carefully. Weather conditions also affect timing – we don’t work in high winds or storms. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate, and we always clean up completely before we leave.

Will removing a tree damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take steps to minimize lawn and landscape damage, but some impact is unavoidable with large tree removals. We use plywood to protect high-traffic areas and work from the least sensitive parts of your property when possible. Minor lawn damage from equipment usually recovers within a growing season. We’ll discuss access routes and potential impacts during your estimate. If you have prize landscaping or delicate areas, let us know upfront so we can plan accordingly.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Mineola?

Mineola has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain areas. Generally, you need permits for healthy trees over a certain diameter, but dead or hazardous trees may be exempt. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you understand what’s needed for your specific situation. It’s always better to check before cutting rather than face fines later. We can guide you through the permit process if required.

Can you remove trees in winter or bad weather?

We can remove trees year-round, but weather conditions affect scheduling and safety. We don’t work during active storms, high winds, or icy conditions. Winter removal is actually easier for some trees because frozen ground reduces lawn damage and visibility is better without leaves. Emergency situations get priority regardless of season. If a tree is threatening immediate safety, we’ll respond as quickly as conditions allow. Non-emergency work may be delayed during severe weather periods.
