We Know Long Island Trees

Long Island Best Tree Service has been handling tree removal across Nassau County for years. We understand how coastal storms affect our trees and what it takes to remove them safely in established neighborhoods like Great Neck Gardens.

Our arborists are licensed and insured because tree removal isn’t a DIY job. When you’re dealing with a 60-foot oak near power lines or a storm-damaged maple threatening your roof, you need professionals with the right equipment and experience.

We’ve seen what happens when tree removal goes wrong. That’s why we take the time to plan each job properly and protect everything that matters to you.

How We Remove Your Tree Safely

First, our arborist evaluates your tree and the surrounding area. We identify potential hazards like power lines, structures, and other trees. We explain exactly how we’ll remove it and what precautions we’ll take to protect your property.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom using proper rigging techniques. Large branches get lowered carefully with ropes and pulleys rather than just dropping them. We work systematically to maintain control throughout the entire process.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every piece of debris. Your yard gets raked, and we haul away all the wood and branches. You’re left with a clean space ready for whatever you want to do next.

How much does tree removal cost in Great Neck Gardens?

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 can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, structures, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra time required. We provide written estimates that include removal, stump grinding, and cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.
Nassau County requires permits for removing trees over 6 inches in diameter, with some exceptions for dead, diseased, or dangerous trees. Great Neck Gardens may have additional local requirements depending on your property’s zoning and the tree’s location. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if a permit is needed. When permits are required, we can assist with the application process and provide the documentation needed for approval.
We can remove trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. If branches are actually touching live wires, the utility company needs to disconnect power first. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary and have the specialized equipment and training for working around electrical hazards. Never attempt to remove trees touching power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. We handle all the coordination and safety protocols required for these complex removals.
Emergency tree removal gets priority scheduling, often within 24 hours depending on the severity of the situation and weather conditions. If a tree is blocking your driveway, threatening your home, or creating immediate danger, we prioritize those calls. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we triage based on safety concerns. We maintain emergency equipment and crews specifically for storm response situations that can’t wait for normal scheduling.
Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your existing landscaping, but some impact is unavoidable with large trees. We use plywood to protect driveways and walkways, and our equipment operators are trained to minimize lawn damage. Small ruts or compacted areas can usually be repaired easily. We discuss potential impacts during the estimate and take precautions to protect valuable plants, sprinkler systems, and hardscaping. The goal is to remove the tree while preserving everything else you want to keep.
We haul away all debris as part of our standard service unless you specifically want to keep some of the wood. Large trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths if you have a fireplace or wood stove. Some homeowners want mulch made from smaller branches for their gardens. We can accommodate most requests, but you need to let us know during scheduling. Otherwise, everything gets hauled away and you’re left with a clean yard ready for your next project.
