Tree Removal Process

Here's How We Remove Your Tree

First, our arborist evaluates your tree and the surrounding area. Every tree removal is different, and the approach depends on the tree’s size, location, and condition. You’ll get a clear explanation of the process and a written estimate before any work begins.

The removal starts with strategic cutting from the top down when space allows, or careful sectioning when the tree is close to structures. Professional equipment ensures each piece is controlled and placed exactly where it needs to go.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We remove all debris, grind the stump if requested, and leave your property clean. You won’t find branches in your bushes or sawdust on your walkway when the work is finished.

What's Included in Tree Removal

Tree removal means the entire tree comes down safely and gets hauled away. That includes the trunk, all branches, and every piece of debris. We bring the equipment needed to handle trees of any size, from small ornamentals to massive oaks.

Stump grinding is available to eliminate the remaining stump and roots. Most homeowners choose this option because it allows them to replant, landscape, or simply mow over the area without obstacles.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. We respond quickly to remove trees from driveways, roofs, or power lines so you can get back to normal as soon as possible.

How much does tree removal cost in Farmingdale?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard costs less than a large tree between your house and your neighbor’s fence. Most residential tree removals in Farmingdale range from $500 to $2,000, but the only way to get an accurate price is with an on-site estimate. Our arborist will evaluate your specific situation and provide a written quote that includes all labor, equipment, and cleanup.
Farmingdale has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain locations. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, but diseased, damaged, or dangerous trees can often be removed without permits. The requirements can be complex and depend on your property’s zoning and the tree’s characteristics. As an experienced local tree service, we know the current regulations and can help you determine if permits are needed for your specific situation.
Most residential tree removals take between 2-6 hours, depending on the tree’s size and location. A small tree in an open area might be down and cleaned up in a couple of hours. A large tree close to structures requires more careful sectioning and can take most of a day. Weather conditions, access to the tree, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. During the estimate, you’ll get a realistic timeframe for your specific job so you can plan accordingly.
Insurance coverage for tree removal depends on why the tree needs to come down. If a storm damages a tree and it falls on your house, insurance typically covers both the tree removal and property repairs. However, if you want to remove a healthy tree for landscaping purposes, that’s usually not covered. Preventive removal of dangerous trees is rarely covered, even though it’s often the smart financial decision. Check with your insurance company about your specific policy, and keep in mind that some insurers require removal of trees they consider hazardous.
The wood and debris from your tree removal get hauled away as part of the service. Larger logs often go to sawmills or lumber operations, while branches and smaller pieces get chipped for mulch or biomass. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood or other uses, just let our crew know before we start. We can cut logs to the lengths you want and stack them where you specify. However, most homeowners prefer complete removal since storing large amounts of wood can attract insects and create maintenance issues.
Professional tree removal techniques are designed to minimize damage to surrounding landscaping, but some impact is usually unavoidable. We use plywood or other protective materials to shield valuable plants and lawn areas when possible. Strategic rigging allows controlled lowering of branches and trunk sections to avoid crushing nearby vegetation. However, heavy equipment access and the tree removal process itself will likely cause some lawn damage or require trimming of nearby branches. Most landscaping damage is easily repaired, and our experienced crew will minimize the impact as much as possible.
