Ronkonkoma Tree Company

Local Arborists You Can Trust

Green Light Tree Services has been serving Ronkonkoma and Long Island homeowners for years. Our certified arborists understand local tree species, soil conditions, and municipal requirements that affect every removal job.

We’re fully licensed and insured, which means your property and investment are protected. Our team uses professional-grade equipment including cranes for large removals that other companies can’t handle safely.

You’re working with neighbors who live here too. We’ve seen what nor’easters and summer storms do to Long Island trees, and we respond quickly when you need us most.

Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your tree and property to determine the safest removal approach. We identify potential hazards, check for utility lines, and plan the removal sequence to protect your home and landscaping.

Next, we secure the necessary permits if required and coordinate with utility companies when needed. Our team arrives with the right equipment for your specific job, whether that’s climbing gear for smaller trees or cranes for large removals near structures.

During removal, we work systematically from top to bottom, controlling each cut and piece. We protect your property with tarps and barriers, then complete the cleanup by grinding stumps and hauling away all debris. You’re left with a clean yard ready for whatever comes next.

Emergency Tree Removal Services

Complete Removal and Cleanup Service

Every tree removal includes full cleanup and debris removal. We don’t just cut and leave – we haul away every branch, log, and wood chip unless you specifically want to keep firewood.

Stump grinding is available to eliminate tripping hazards and free up planting space. We can grind stumps below ground level and fill the area with wood chips or topsoil.

Emergency response is available for storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous situations. We understand that trees don’t always fall during business hours, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable weather patterns.

How much does tree removal cost in Ronkonkoma?

Tree removal costs depend on 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 $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra safety measures required. We provide free estimates that include all costs upfront – removal, cleanup, and debris hauling – so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Ronkonkoma?

Ronkonkoma follows Brookhaven Town regulations for tree removal. You typically need a permit for healthy trees over 6 inches in diameter, but dead, diseased, or hazardous trees can often be removed without permits. Trees in wetland areas or those considered significant specimens may have additional restrictions. We handle the permit application process for you, including the paperwork and any required inspections. This ensures you stay compliant with local regulations and avoid potential fines.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees in open areas can be removed in under 2 hours, while large trees near structures or power lines may take a full day. Complex removals requiring cranes or piece-by-piece dismantling take longer but ensure safety. Weather conditions and ground access also affect timing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during your estimate and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.

What happens if the tree damages my property during removal?

Professional tree removal companies like Green Light Tree Services carry comprehensive liability insurance specifically for this reason. Our insurance covers property damage that might occur during the removal process. However, our experienced arborists and proper equipment minimize this risk significantly. We use rigging systems, cranes when necessary, and careful planning to control every piece of the tree as it comes down. This is why hiring licensed, insured professionals is crucial rather than attempting removal yourself or hiring uninsured operators.

Can you remove trees near power lines?

Trees near power lines require special procedures and coordination with utility companies. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we work directly with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe removal. In many cases, the utility company will temporarily disconnect power or provide clearance while we work. We have the specialized equipment and training to work safely around electrical hazards. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – this is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal work that requires professional expertise.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we provide emergency tree removal services for storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous situations that pose immediate threats to property or safety. Long Island’s weather patterns, from nor’easters to summer storms, can bring down trees without warning. We respond quickly to emergency calls and can often provide same-day service for urgent situations. Emergency services may include higher rates due to after-hours work and immediate response requirements, but we’ll discuss costs upfront before beginning any work.
