When we finish, you’ll have a clear property line, no debris left behind, and one less thing keeping you awake during the next storm. Your insurance company will have the documentation they need, and you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve been handling East Rockaway’s tree problems for years.

Tree Removal Process East Rockaway

How We Remove Trees Safely

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area to plan the safest removal approach. Every property is different, and every tree presents its own challenges. We identify potential hazards, measure clearances, and determine the best direction for controlled removal.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom when space is limited, or fell it in one piece when we have room to work. Our equipment includes cranes for complex removals and specialized rigging systems that let us lower branches exactly where we want them.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every piece of debris. You shouldn’t have to rake up after us or wonder what to do with a pile of branches. When we’re done, your property looks like we were never there, except for the missing tree.

What's Included in Every Removal

Every tree removal includes complete debris cleanup, stump grinding, and site restoration. We don’t charge extra for hauling away branches or cleaning up sawdust. That’s part of the job.

How much does tree removal cost in East Rockaway?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, medium trees 30-60 feet run $800-1,500, and large trees over 60 feet can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra time required. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including stump grinding and cleanup, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
East Rockaway requires permits for removing trees over 6 inches in diameter in certain situations, particularly for street trees or trees in protected areas. The Village of East Rockaway has specific ordinances about tree removal that vary depending on the tree’s location and size. We handle permit applications when required and can tell you immediately if your tree removal needs municipal approval. Dead, diseased, or storm-damaged trees that pose safety hazards often qualify for expedited permits or emergency removal without prior approval.
Professional tree removal minimizes property damage through careful planning and proper equipment. We use protective mats under heavy equipment, plan debris drop zones away from delicate plants, and section trees in tight spaces rather than dropping large pieces. Some minor lawn damage is inevitable with large tree removals, but we restore disturbed areas by raking, reseeding, or replacing sod as needed. Our goal is to leave your property in better condition than we found it, minus the unwanted tree.
We respond to emergency tree removal calls the same day when trees threaten safety or block access to homes. Emergency situations include trees on houses, across driveways, or hanging dangerously after storm damage. We prioritize calls based on safety risk, with trees on structures or blocking emergency access getting immediate attention. Non-emergency tree removal typically gets scheduled within a few days to a week, depending on our current workload and weather conditions.
We handle all debris removal unless you specifically want to keep the wood. Large trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths if you have a fireplace or wood stove, but most homeowners prefer complete cleanup. We chip smaller branches for mulch and haul away trunk sections to our disposal facility. If you want to keep some wood, let us know during the estimate so we can plan accordingly. All cleanup and hauling is included in our removal price.
Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, and our arborists maintain current New York State certifications. We provide insurance certificates to homeowners and can add you as an additional insured for the duration of your project if requested. This protects you from liability if accidents occur during tree removal and ensures you’re working with legitimate professionals. Never hire uninsured tree services, as you could be liable for injuries or property damage.
