Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Tree removal includes complete sectioning and safe lowering of the entire tree using professional rigging equipment. We protect your property with tarps and barriers before any cutting begins.

Stump grinding gets handled on the same visit if requested. The stump gets ground below grade and the area gets filled with clean soil, ready for grass seed or new landscaping.

Complete debris removal means every piece of wood, every branch, and all the sawdust gets loaded and hauled away. You don’t rent dumpsters or make multiple trips to the dump. We also handle emergency tree service for storm damage, often responding the same day when trees threaten structures or block access.

How much does tree removal cost in Wading River?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Most residential tree removals in Wading River range from $500 to $2,500. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $500-$1,200, while larger trees over 60 feet or trees near structures cost $1,500-$2,500 or more. Emergency removals during storms may include additional charges for immediate response. The best way to get accurate pricing is a free on-site assessment where we can evaluate the specific challenges and provide a detailed quote.

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

Most tree removals on private property in Wading River don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. The Town of Riverhead has specific regulations about removing healthy trees over certain sizes, especially if they’re considered significant or heritage trees. Trees in wetland areas or within setbacks from water bodies may require permits from the DEC. If your tree is dead, diseased, or poses a safety hazard, removal is typically allowed without permits. We can help you determine if permits are needed and assist with the application process if required.

Can you remove trees close to my house safely?

Yes, removing trees near structures is one of our specialties. We use sectional removal techniques, taking the tree down in small pieces rather than felling it whole. Each section gets carefully lowered using ropes and rigging systems to control exactly where it goes. We protect your roof, siding, windows, and landscaping with barriers and tarps. Our certified arborists have experience with tight spaces and challenging removals around Wading River homes. The key is proper planning, the right equipment, and experienced crews who understand how to manage every piece safely.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

All wood and debris gets hauled away as part of our standard service unless you request otherwise. Many homeowners ask us to leave firewood-sized pieces if they have a fireplace or fire pit. Larger logs can be left for milling if you want lumber for projects. We can also chip branches into mulch for your garden beds. Everything else gets taken to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities. If you want specific pieces saved, just let us know during the planning phase and we’ll accommodate your needs at no extra charge.

How quickly can you respond for emergency tree removal?

For true emergencies where trees are threatening structures, blocking roads, or creating immediate safety hazards, we typically respond within 24 hours and often the same day. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we prioritize the most dangerous situations first. We maintain emergency equipment and have crews on call specifically for urgent situations. Non-emergency removals are usually scheduled within a week of your call. If you’re dealing with a tree emergency, call us immediately and we’ll assess the situation and provide the fastest response possible.

Will tree removal damage my lawn and landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to minimize damage to your property. Heavy equipment uses plywood mats to distribute weight and protect grass and soil. We set up barriers around flower beds, shrubs, and other landscaping features before starting work. Our crews are trained to work efficiently in tight spaces and avoid unnecessary traffic over sensitive areas. Some minor lawn damage is occasionally unavoidable with large tree removals, but we discuss this upfront and can arrange for lawn repair if needed. Most jobs are completed with minimal impact to existing landscaping.
