Tree Removal Process Franklin Square

Simple Process, Professional Results

The process starts with a certified arborist evaluating the tree, surrounding structures, and the safest removal approach. You get a detailed estimate that covers everything from cutting to cleanup, with no surprises later.

On removal day, we arrive with professional equipment including cranes when needed for large trees near structures. Trees are cut in sections from top to bottom, with each piece carefully lowered to avoid damage to your property.

After the tree is down, everything gets cleaned up completely. Wood chips, branches, and trunk sections are hauled away unless you want to keep firewood. Your yard is left clean and ready to use, not looking like a construction zone.

Complete Tree Removal Services

Everything Included in One Service

Tree removal includes the complete job from assessment to final cleanup. Our certified arborist evaluation identifies the safest removal method and checks for any permit requirements specific to Franklin Square regulations.

Professional cutting uses proper techniques and equipment to remove trees of any size without property damage. Large trees near homes get sectioned carefully with cranes or rigging systems that control every piece.

Stump grinding and root removal are available to complete the job entirely. All debris gets hauled away, and the work area is cleaned thoroughly. You’re not left dealing with wood chips, branches, or trying to figure out disposal on your own.

How much does tree removal cost in Franklin Square?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet near structures can range from $1,500-4,000. The price includes cutting, debris removal, and site cleanup. Trees in tight spaces or requiring crane work cost more due to additional equipment and time needed. Emergency removals after storms may have different pricing due to urgency and demand. Every estimate is free and includes a detailed breakdown of what’s covered.

Do I need a permit for tree removal in Franklin Square?

Permit requirements in Franklin Square depend on the tree’s size, species, and location on your property. Trees over a certain diameter typically require permits from Nassau County or local authorities. Protected species like certain oaks may have additional restrictions regardless of size. Trees near property lines or in front yards often have different rules than backyard trees. Our certified arborist evaluation includes checking permit requirements and can help with the application process if needed. Removing trees without required permits can result in fines, so it’s worth checking before starting any work.

How long does tree removal take to complete?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. Small trees in open areas can be removed in 1-2 hours, while large trees near structures may take a full day. Complex jobs requiring cranes or extensive rigging take longer due to safety precautions and careful sectioning. Weather conditions can affect timing, especially for large tree removals that require precise cuts. Emergency removals are prioritized and scheduled as quickly as possible, often within 24 hours. The estimate includes expected timeframe so you can plan accordingly.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Insurance coverage depends on why the tree needs removal and what it has damaged. Trees that fall and damage your home, fence, or other structures during storms are typically covered. Preventive removal of healthy trees is usually not covered since it’s considered maintenance. Dead or diseased trees that pose obvious hazards may be covered if they cause damage, but removal before damage occurs is typically your responsibility. Trees that fall from neighboring properties onto your property create different coverage scenarios. It’s worth checking with your insurance company before removal to understand what’s covered and what documentation they need.

Can you remove trees close to power lines?

Trees near power lines require special procedures and coordination with utility companies. If branches are touching or very close to power lines, the utility company typically needs to disconnect power temporarily during removal. We handle this coordination as part of our service, but it can affect scheduling since utility companies need advance notice. Trees within 10 feet of power lines are considered high-risk and require certified arborists with specific training in electrical hazards. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself, as contact with lines can be fatal. Our evaluation includes assessing power line proximity and planning the safest removal approach.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

All wood and debris are hauled away as part of our standard service unless you request otherwise. Large trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths and left for your use if desired. Wood chips from branches can be left for mulch or garden use, though most homeowners prefer complete removal. Valuable hardwood logs are sometimes taken to sawmills for lumber, though this doesn’t typically affect your cost. We handle all disposal at appropriate facilities, so you don’t need to worry about finding places to dump large amounts of wood. Special requests like keeping specific pieces for woodworking projects can usually be accommodated with advance notice.
