Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

The process starts with a thorough assessment of your tree and property. Our arborist examines the tree’s condition, identifies potential hazards, and plans the safest removal approach that protects your home and landscaping.

Removal happens in controlled sections, starting from the top and working down. Each piece is carefully lowered using ropes and rigging systems – nothing just falls and hopes for the best. We use professional equipment designed specifically for safe tree removal in residential areas.

Cleanup is part of our service, not an extra charge. All debris gets removed from your property, and the area is left clean. If you want the stump removed too, we handle that with professional grinding equipment that turns it into mulch below ground level.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Our tree removal includes the entire tree from top to ground level, complete debris removal, and thorough cleanup of your property. The service covers trees of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that require specialized equipment.

Emergency tree service is available for storm damage situations when trees threaten immediate safety. We respond quickly to secure dangerous situations and remove fallen or partially fallen trees that block driveways or damage structures.

Stump grinding eliminates the remaining root system below ground level, preventing regrowth and creating a clean slate for new landscaping. The process turns the stump into mulch that can stay in place or be removed, depending on your preference.

How much does tree removal cost in North Bellmore?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost less than large mature trees that require specialized equipment and more time. Trees close to houses, power lines, or other structures require more careful planning and equipment, which affects pricing. The best approach is getting an on-site estimate where we can assess your specific situation and provide accurate pricing. We provide free estimates, and you should be wary of anyone quoting prices over the phone without seeing the tree and property.

Do I need a permit for tree removal in North Bellmore?

North Bellmore tree removal permits depend on the tree’s size, species, and location on your property. Generally, you can remove trees on your own property without permits, but there are exceptions for very large trees or those in protected areas. Trees near property lines sometimes fall under different regulations, especially if they’re shared with neighbors. The safest approach is checking with the Town of Hempstead before removal, particularly for trees over a certain diameter. We’re familiar with local regulations and can guide you through permit requirements and help with applications if needed.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take between 2-8 hours depending on the tree’s size and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet can often be removed in a couple hours, while large trees near structures require more time for careful sectional removal. Weather conditions, access to the tree, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. Emergency tree removal after storms may take longer due to safety considerations and the condition of partially fallen trees. We work efficiently but prioritize safety over speed, especially when working near homes, power lines, or valuable landscaping that needs protection.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance typically covers tree removal when the tree falls due to covered perils like storms, wind, or lightning and damages your home or other covered structures. However, insurance usually doesn’t cover removal of trees that fall without damaging structures, even if they block driveways or damage landscaping. Preventive tree removal for dead or dangerous trees is generally not covered – that’s considered maintenance. If a tree damages your neighbor’s property, your insurance may cover it depending on the circumstances and whether the tree was obviously diseased or dangerous beforehand. Always check with your insurance company about specific coverage before assuming removal costs will be covered.

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

Tree removal means cutting down the entire tree and removing it from your property, while tree trimming involves cutting specific branches to improve the tree’s health, appearance, or safety. Trimming can often solve problems like branches hanging over roofs or power lines without removing the whole tree. However, some situations require complete removal – dead trees, trees with extensive disease, or trees that have outgrown their space and threaten structures. A certified arborist can assess whether your tree can be saved through trimming or if removal is the safer, more cost-effective option. Sometimes trimming just delays the inevitable and removal ends up being necessary anyway.

Can you remove trees in winter?

Tree removal can happen year-round in North Bellmore, and winter actually offers some advantages. Trees are dormant, making it easier to see the tree’s structure without leaves obscuring branches and potential problems. Frozen ground can sometimes provide better access for equipment, and there’s less impact on surrounding vegetation that’s also dormant. However, extreme weather conditions like ice storms or heavy snow may delay removal for safety reasons. Emergency tree removal continues regardless of season when trees threaten immediate safety. We have equipment and experience to work safely in various weather conditions, though we’ll postpone non-urgent work during dangerous weather events.
