Tree Removal Process Old Westbury

Here's Exactly How Your Tree Gets Removed

First, a certified arborist evaluates your tree and explains the removal plan. You’ll know exactly what equipment is needed, whether permits are required, and how we’ll protect your property during the work.

On removal day, our crew arrives with proper equipment including cranes if needed for large trees near structures. Trees are removed in sections from top to bottom, with each piece carefully lowered to avoid damage to your landscaping or neighboring properties.

The stump gets ground below grade level, and all debris is removed from your property. Your yard is left clean with minimal disruption to surrounding plants and lawn areas. Most residential tree removals are completed in one day.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included in Your Tree Removal

Your tree removal includes complete stump grinding, not just cutting the tree at ground level. All branches, logs, and debris are removed from your property unless you specifically request firewood or mulch.

We handle permit applications when required by Old Westbury regulations. We coordinate with utility companies if power lines are involved and work around your schedule to minimize disruption.

Emergency tree removal is available for storm damage or trees that pose immediate safety threats. We bring industrial equipment including cranes, chippers, and stump grinders to handle any size removal job safely and efficiently.

How much does tree removal cost in Old Westbury?

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 $1,500-4,000. Trees near power lines, structures, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra care required. We provide free estimates that include stump grinding and complete cleanup, so you know the total cost upfront without surprises.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Old Westbury?

Old Westbury has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain areas of your property. Trees over a certain diameter typically require permits, and some species have additional protections. The good news is that we handle permit applications as part of our service. We know the local requirements and can tell you immediately whether your tree removal needs municipal approval, saving you time and potential fines.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals are completed in one day. Small to medium trees often take 2-4 hours, while large trees or complex removals near structures can take 6-8 hours. Emergency removals for storm damage are prioritized and often handled the same day you call. The timeline depends on factors like tree size, location, weather conditions, and whether permits are required. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All debris is removed from your property as part of the standard service. The wood is typically chipped for mulch or processed for firewood depending on the tree species and size. If you want to keep firewood for your own use, just let our crew know beforehand and we’ll cut logs to your preferred length. Some homeowners also request wood chips for landscaping. The goal is to leave your property clean and ready to use immediately after the work is completed.

Is tree removal covered by homeowner's insurance?

Insurance coverage depends on why the tree is being removed. If a storm damages a tree and it falls on your house, that’s typically covered. However, removing a healthy tree for landscaping purposes usually isn’t covered. If you’re removing a tree because it’s diseased or poses a safety threat, coverage varies by policy. We can provide detailed invoices and documentation that help with insurance claims when applicable. It’s worth checking with your insurance company before scheduling non-emergency removals.

Can you remove trees close to my house or power lines?

Yes, but these situations require specialized equipment and techniques. Trees near structures are removed in carefully planned sections using cranes or rigging systems to control where each piece falls. For trees near power lines, we coordinate with utility companies and follow strict safety protocols. This type of work takes longer and costs more due to the precision required, but it’s routinely handled by experienced arborists. The key is working with a company that has the proper equipment and training for complex removals.
