On removal day, our crew arrives with all necessary equipment and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, using ropes and rigging to control each piece as it comes down. This protects your property and ensures nothing gets damaged.

Complete Tree Cutting Services

What's Included in Every Job

Every tree removal includes complete debris cleanup and hauling. You don’t have to worry about disposing of branches, logs, or sawdust. We handle it all as part of the service.

Thomaston properties often have mature trees close to homes, power lines, or neighboring properties. We use specialized rigging techniques to remove trees in tight spaces without causing damage. This includes sectional removal, where the tree is taken down piece by piece rather than felled in one piece.

Stump grinding is available as an add-on service if you want the area completely cleared. Emergency services are also available for storm damage situations when trees pose immediate safety hazards.

How much does tree removal cost in Thomaston, NY?

Tree removal costs vary based on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost less than larger specimens over 60 feet. Trees close to structures or power lines require more careful work and specialized equipment, which affects pricing. Most residential tree removals in Thomaston range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. The best way to get accurate pricing is with a free on-site estimate where our arborist can assess your specific situation and provide a detailed quote.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Permit requirements vary by municipality and tree size. In Thomaston, certain large or heritage trees may require permits before removal. Trees in wetland areas or those protected by local ordinances typically need approval. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees usually don’t require permits since they pose safety risks. We can help you determine if permits are needed for your specific situation and guide you through the application process if required. It’s always better to check before starting work to avoid potential fines or complications.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special handling and coordination with utility companies. If branches are touching or very close to power lines, the utility company may need to temporarily shut off power or remove the lines before tree removal can begin safely. Licensed arborists have the training and equipment to work around electrical hazards, but safety always comes first. We coordinate with local utilities when necessary and follow all safety protocols for electrical hazards. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.

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

Tree removal means taking down the entire tree, usually because it’s dead, diseased, damaged, or poses a safety hazard. Tree trimming involves selectively cutting branches to improve the tree’s health, appearance, or safety while keeping the tree alive. Trimming can address issues like overgrown branches, dead limbs, or branches interfering with structures. Sometimes trimming is enough to solve the problem without removing the whole tree. Our arborist can evaluate your tree and recommend whether removal or trimming is the better solution based on the tree’s condition and your specific concerns.

How long does tree removal take to complete?

Most residential tree removals take between a few hours to a full day, depending on the tree’s size and complexity. Small trees in open areas can often be removed in 2-3 hours, while large trees near structures may take 6-8 hours or more. Emergency removals for storm damage are prioritized and scheduled as quickly as possible. Weather conditions, equipment access, and cleanup requirements all affect timing. We provide time estimates during the initial consultation so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

All debris removal and cleanup is included in our service. Branches, leaves, and smaller pieces are typically chipped and hauled away. Larger logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left on your property if you want to keep them, or they can be removed as part of the cleanup. Some customers like to keep quality hardwood for firewood or woodworking projects. We’ll discuss your preferences during the estimate and accommodate your wishes. If you don’t want any of the wood, everything gets hauled away and your property is left clean.
