Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

First, a certified arborist comes out to assess your tree and the surrounding area. We’ll identify potential hazards, check for power lines, and determine the safest removal method. You get a clear estimate with no surprises.

On removal day, our crew arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We section the tree carefully, starting from the top and working down to avoid damage to your property. Each piece is lowered safely using ropes and rigging when necessary.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every branch, leaf, and wood chip. Your yard looks better than when we started, just without the problem tree that was keeping you up at night.

How much does tree removal cost in Great Neck Estates?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-800, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,500-4,000 or more. The biggest factors are the tree’s height, trunk diameter, and how difficult it is to access safely. Trees leaning toward houses, wrapped in power lines, or in tight spaces between buildings require specialized equipment and techniques that increase the cost. Every situation is different, which is why we provide free estimates after seeing the tree in person.
Great Neck Estates 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 dead, diseased, or hazardous trees can usually be removed without permits. The rules can be complex and change based on your exact location and the tree species. We handle permit applications when needed and can tell you immediately whether your tree removal requires municipal approval. It’s always better to check first than deal with fines or having to replant later.
Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. A straightforward removal of a medium-sized tree in an open area might be done in a couple hours. Complex jobs involving large trees near structures, power lines, or in tight spaces can take a full day or more. Weather conditions, ground access for equipment, and cleanup requirements also affect timing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate so you can plan accordingly. Emergency removals for storm damage obviously get prioritized and we work as quickly as safety allows.
Insurance coverage depends on why the tree needs to be removed and what it damages. If a storm knocks down a tree that hits your house, that’s typically covered. But if you want to remove a healthy tree for landscaping reasons, you’re paying out of pocket. Dead or diseased trees are usually your responsibility unless they fall and cause covered damage. We can provide detailed invoices and documentation that insurance companies need for claims. The key is understanding your policy before you need it – many homeowners are surprised by what is and isn’t covered when it comes to tree issues.
We can safely remove trees near power lines, but the approach depends on how close the tree is and whether it’s actually touching the wires. If branches are in contact with power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to temporarily shut off power when necessary. Our crews are trained in electrical hazard awareness and use specialized techniques to avoid contact with live wires. Some situations require the utility company to handle the removal themselves, especially if the tree is heavily entangled in the lines. We assess each situation carefully and won’t take unnecessary risks with electrical hazards.
By default, we remove all wood and debris from your property as part of the service. The wood gets recycled – larger logs go to lumber mills or firewood processors, while smaller branches get chipped for mulch or biomass. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, we can cut it to length and stack it wherever you’d like on your property. Some homeowners with large trees ask us to leave a few sections for woodworking projects or outdoor furniture. Just let us know during the estimate if you want to keep any of the wood, otherwise everything gets hauled away and recycled responsibly.
