Tree Cutting Process Smithtown

Here's Exactly How We Remove Your Tree

First, our arborist evaluates the tree and surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, check for power lines, and plan the safest removal approach. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why before we start.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom using professional rigging equipment. This controlled approach prevents damage to your property and gives us complete control over where each piece lands. No guessing. No hoping for the best.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every piece of debris. You won’t find random wood chips in your flower beds or branches hidden behind your shed. We leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra To Pay

Your tree removal includes the complete job. We cut and remove the entire tree, grind the stump below ground level, and haul away all debris. No surprise charges for cleanup or disposal.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees threatening your home or blocking access. We respond quickly because we understand that fallen trees don’t wait for business hours.

Our equipment handles trees of any size in tight spaces. Whether it’s a massive oak near your house or multiple trees that need removal, we have the tools and experience to get the job done safely. Every crew member is trained in proper safety procedures and carries full insurance coverage.

How much does tree removal cost in Smithtown?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000. We provide free estimates that include everything – cutting, stump grinding, and complete cleanup. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees for disposal or extra services. Most Smithtown homeowners find our pricing competitive and appreciate knowing the total cost upfront.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we offer emergency tree removal throughout Smithtown when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or threatening power lines, we respond as quickly as possible. Emergency services are available outside normal business hours because tree emergencies don’t follow schedules. We prioritize situations where trees pose immediate danger to people or property. Our emergency crews carry all necessary equipment to safely remove storm-damaged trees and clear access to your home.

Are you licensed and insured for tree removal?

Absolutely. Green Light Tree Services is fully licensed and carries comprehensive insurance coverage for all tree removal work. This protects you from liability if something goes wrong during the job. Our insurance covers property damage and worker injuries, so you’re never responsible for accidents on your property. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Never hire a tree service that can’t show current insurance certificates – the risk to your property and finances is too great.

Will you damage my lawn or landscaping during removal?

We take extensive precautions to protect your property during tree removal. Our crews use plywood to protect lawns from heavy equipment, and we carefully plan each cut to control where branches fall. We section large trees piece by piece rather than dropping them whole, which prevents damage to surrounding plants, fences, and structures. If minor lawn damage occurs from equipment access, we repair it before leaving. Our goal is to remove your problematic tree while keeping the rest of your landscape intact. Most customers are surprised how little disruption the process causes.

Do you remove the stump or is that extra?

Stump grinding is included in our tree removal service. We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass or use the area for other purposes. The wood chips from grinding can be left as mulch for your garden beds or removed completely – your choice. Some companies charge separately for stump removal, but we include it because leaving stumps creates ongoing problems. They attract insects, sprout new growth, and create obstacles for mowing and landscaping.

How long does tree removal take?

Most single tree removals take 2-4 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees in open areas might be done in an hour, while large trees near structures require more time for careful sectioning. Multiple tree removals or complex jobs near power lines can take a full day. We don’t rush the process because safety is more important than speed. Weather conditions also affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or severe storms when it’s unsafe. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate.
