Tree Cutting Process Wheatley Heights

Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

First, we assess your tree and the surrounding area. Every removal is different – what’s near the tree, how it’s leaning, where it needs to fall. We plan the entire job before we make the first cut.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom when needed, or drop it in one piece if space allows. Our equipment lets us control exactly where every piece lands, protecting your landscaping, driveway, and neighbor’s property.

Finally, we handle complete cleanup and debris removal. We chip branches, cut logs to your specifications if you want firewood, and remove everything else. Your yard looks clean and ready for whatever comes next.

Emergency Tree Service Wheatley Heights

Complete Tree Removal Service Included

Your tree removal includes everything needed to get the job done right. We bring professional-grade equipment including cranes when needed for tight spaces or large trees near structures.

Stump grinding is available to completely eliminate the tree from your property. We can grind stumps below ground level so you can plant grass, install landscaping, or build whatever you have planned for that space.

We also handle emergency situations when storms bring trees down across driveways, onto roofs, or into power lines. Long Island weather can change fast, and when it does, you need a tree service that responds quickly and works safely around damaged property and utility lines.

How much does tree removal cost in Wheatley Heights?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including removal, cleanup, and any additional services like stump grinding. The price includes complete debris removal so you’re not left with a pile of branches and logs.

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

Most tree removals on private property in Wheatley Heights don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. If your tree is designated as a heritage tree, located in a protected area, or if your neighborhood has specific tree preservation ordinances, you might need approval. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if permits are needed. For emergency situations where trees pose immediate danger, permits are typically waived, but we’ll handle any required documentation.

Can you remove trees close to my house safely?

Yes, we specialize in removing trees in tight spaces near structures. We use sectional removal techniques, taking the tree down piece by piece from top to bottom. For trees very close to homes, we often use cranes to lift sections away from the structure. Our team has experience working around power lines, pools, gardens, and neighboring properties. We take extensive precautions to protect your home, including using protective barriers and rope systems to control every piece of the tree.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

We handle complete cleanup as part of our service. Branches and smaller debris get chipped and removed from your property. For larger logs, we can cut them into firewood lengths if you want to keep them, or we’ll remove everything. We also sweep up sawdust and small debris, leaving your property clean. If you want specific pieces kept for woodworking or other projects, just let us know during the estimate and we’ll accommodate your needs.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

We prioritize emergency tree removal, especially when trees are blocking driveways, threatening structures, or creating safety hazards. During major storms, we typically respond within 24-48 hours for urgent situations. For trees that have fallen on homes or are actively dangerous, we often respond the same day. Keep in mind that during widespread storm events, demand is high and we handle the most dangerous situations first. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call and keep you updated on our arrival.

Should I remove a tree that looks healthy but is close to my house?

This depends on the tree species, its actual condition, and your comfort level with risk. Some trees that appear healthy may have root problems, internal decay, or structural issues that aren’t obvious. We can perform a professional assessment to check for signs of disease, structural weakness, or root problems. Consider factors like the tree’s mature size, its proximity to your foundation, and whether it’s a species prone to storm damage. Sometimes pruning and maintenance can address concerns without full removal, and we’ll give you honest advice about your options.
