Professional Tree Service Glen Head

Your Property Protected, Your Worries Gone

You shouldn’t have to worry about that leaning oak threatening your roof every time the wind picks up. Or wonder if those overgrown branches will take out your power lines during the next storm.

When trees are handled properly, your property stays safe. Your insurance company stays happy. Your neighbors aren’t giving you worried looks every time the weather turns.

That’s what happens when you work with arborists who actually know what they’re doing. Trees get trimmed correctly so they grow stronger, not weaker. Removals happen without damaging your lawn, driveway, or the fence you just installed. Emergency calls get answered, not ignored.

Tree Removal Process Glen Head

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. No charge for the estimate. We’ll explain what needs to happen and why, give you a written quote, and answer your questions without the sales pitch.

If it’s an emergency, we respond fast. For scheduled work, we show up when we say we will with the right equipment. We protect your property with tarps and barriers before we start cutting.

Trees come down in sections when they’re near structures. Everything gets cleaned up and hauled away. We’re not leaving you with a pile of branches and sawdust. When we’re done, your property looks better than when we started.

Complete Tree Care Glen Head

What's Included in Our Service

Tree removal, trimming, emergency storm response, and complete cleanup. We handle everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been growing for decades.

Stump grinding is available if you want the entire tree gone. We can also trim trees to improve their health and appearance while reducing the risk of storm damage. Our arborists will tell you when a tree can be saved and when it needs to come down.

Every job includes full debris removal. We’re not just cutting and leaving. Glen Head properties deserve better than that, and that’s what you get with our tree care service.

How much does tree removal cost in Glen Head, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near your house or power lines could cost several thousand. We provide free written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. The estimate includes cutting, cleanup, and debris removal – no surprise charges later. Emergency removals after storms may cost more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Glen Head?

Glen Head and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain locations. Some trees require permits before removal, while others don’t. We know the local requirements and can help you determine if permits are needed for your specific situation. If permits are required, we can guide you through the process or handle the paperwork. It’s always better to check first rather than face potential fines or legal issues later.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

For true emergencies – trees blocking roads, threatening structures, or creating immediate safety hazards – we respond as quickly as possible, often within hours. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand and safety considerations. We prioritize calls based on safety risk, so a tree on your house gets attention before routine trimming requests. For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule estimates within a few days and can often complete work within a week or two, depending on the scope.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Nassau County?

Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage for all our crew members. Our arborists are licensed and trained in proper tree care techniques. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work on your property. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured or property gets damaged during the job. Never hire a tree service that can’t provide current insurance certificates – the risk to your property and finances is too high.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming on Long Island?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming on Long Island. Trees are dormant during this period, which reduces stress and allows them to heal properly before the growing season. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees have specific timing requirements – for example, oaks should avoid trimming during certain months to prevent oak wilt disease. Our arborists can recommend the optimal timing for your specific trees and situation.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your property, but some impact is usually unavoidable, especially with large trees. We use protective barriers, plywood, and careful planning to reduce lawn and landscape damage. Heavy equipment may leave some marks on soft ground, and large trees will leave holes where roots are removed. We clean up debris and can recommend landscaping contractors for restoration if needed. The key is working with experienced professionals who take steps to protect your property rather than just focusing on getting the tree down quickly.
