Next, we use professional equipment to carefully section the tree, removing it piece by piece when necessary to avoid damage to your home, cars, or landscaping. Every cut is planned to control exactly where each section falls.

Complete Tree Cutting Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your tree removal includes complete debris cleanup, not just the cutting. Every branch, every piece of trunk, every bit of sawdust gets hauled away. Your yard looks better than before we arrived.

Stump grinding is available to eliminate tripping hazards and free up usable yard space. We can also assess other trees on your property and identify potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Emergency tree removal is available when storms hit Plainview. Dangerous trees blocking driveways, threatening roofs, or tangled in power lines get priority response because waiting isn’t an option when your family’s safety is at risk.

How much does tree removal cost in Plainview, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost $300-500, while a large oak near power lines could be $1,500-3,000. Most Plainview homeowners pay between $600-1,200 for typical tree removal. We provide detailed estimates that include all labor, equipment, and cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. Emergency removals may cost more due to urgency and after-hours work requirements.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Plainview?

Plainview tree removal permits depend on the tree’s size and location. Trees over 6 inches in diameter typically require permits from the Town of Oyster Bay. Heritage trees or trees in protected areas have additional restrictions. Dead, diseased, or dangerous trees often qualify for expedited permits or emergency removal exceptions. We can help you understand local requirements and handle permit applications when needed. It’s always better to check before cutting because unpermitted removal can result in significant fines.

How long does tree removal take?

Most tree removals in Plainview take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and complexity. Small trees in open areas might be done in an hour, while large trees near structures or power lines can take a full day. Weather conditions, equipment access, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. Emergency removals get priority scheduling and often happen the same day you call. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Insurance typically covers tree removal when the tree damages your home, car, or other covered structures. If a tree falls on your roof during a storm, removal is usually covered. However, preventive removal of healthy trees is rarely covered, even if they pose potential risks. Dead or diseased trees that haven’t caused damage yet usually aren’t covered either. Check your policy details and document any damage with photos before removal. We can provide detailed invoices that help with insurance claims when coverage applies.

Can you remove trees near power lines?

Trees near power lines require special expertise and coordination with PSEG Long Island. We’re trained to work around electrical hazards and follow strict safety protocols. For trees touching active power lines, the utility company must be contacted first to de-energize lines if necessary. Trees within 10 feet of power lines need careful planning and specialized equipment. Never attempt DIY removal near power lines – electrocution risk is real and often fatal. Professional arborists have the training and equipment to handle these dangerous situations safely.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Most tree debris gets chipped and hauled away as part of standard cleanup. If you want to keep firewood, let us know during scheduling and we’ll cut logs to your preferred length. Large trunk sections can be left for woodworking projects if you have use for them. Otherwise, everything gets removed from your property. We have relationships with local sawmills and landscaping companies that can use the wood, so nothing goes to waste. Stump grinding produces wood chips that can be left as mulch or removed, depending on your preference.
