All debris gets removed from your property. Branches, logs, and wood chips don’t become your problem. Our crew hauls everything away, leaving your yard clean and usable.

Emergency services are available for storm damage situations. When trees fall across driveways or damage structures, quick response prevents further problems and gets your life back to normal faster.

How much does tree removal cost in East Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. Factors include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, and access for equipment. Emergency removals typically cost more due to urgency and potential hazards. The best approach is getting a written estimate that breaks down all costs including stump grinding and cleanup, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

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

East Islip permit requirements vary depending on tree size and location. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without permits, but larger trees or those in protected areas may require approval from the town. Trees near wetlands, in historic districts, or designated as significant specimens often need permits before removal. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees usually qualify for expedited approval. Check with East Islip’s building department before scheduling removal, or ask your tree service company to help navigate local regulations.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-8 hours depending on tree size and location. Small trees in open areas can be removed in a couple hours, while large trees near structures require careful sectioning and may take a full day. Complex jobs involving multiple trees or difficult access can extend to several days. Weather affects timing – wet or windy conditions may delay work for safety reasons. Emergency storm damage removals are prioritized and often completed within 24 hours of your call, depending on the severity of local damage.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Most tree services remove all wood and debris from your property unless you request otherwise. Logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left for your use if desired. Branches and smaller material typically get chipped and hauled away for recycling into mulch or biomass fuel. Some companies offer wood chips as free mulch for your landscaping. Large, valuable hardwood logs might be sold to lumber mills. Always clarify cleanup and disposal policies upfront – complete removal should be included in your estimate, not charged as an extra fee.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Insurance coverage depends on why the tree needs removal. Trees that fall due to storms and damage your home, garage, or other structures are typically covered under most homeowner policies. However, preventive removal of healthy trees for landscaping or convenience usually isn’t covered. Dead or diseased trees that you knew about beforehand may not be covered if they cause damage. Emergency storm damage removal is often covered, but check your policy details and deductible amounts. Always document damage with photos and contact your insurance company before beginning cleanup work.

Can tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscape damage through proper planning and equipment. Heavy machinery can create ruts in soft soil, especially during wet conditions. Experienced crews use plywood or mats to protect grass and use smaller equipment when possible. Some minor damage to surrounding plants or lawn is possible with large tree removals, but skilled arborists plan cuts and rigging to avoid major landscape disruption. Discuss protection of specific plants or lawn areas with your tree service beforehand. Most minor lawn damage recovers quickly with proper care and overseeding if needed.
