Tree Cutting Process Hempstead

How We Remove Your Tree

First, we assess exactly how that tree needs to come down. Every tree removal is different – wind direction, nearby structures, power lines, underground utilities. We plan the drop zone and set up our equipment accordingly.

Then we start cutting. Depending on the situation, we might take it down in sections or drop the whole thing at once. Our climbers are certified arborists who know how to control exactly where each piece lands.

Finally, we clean up everything. The trunk gets cut and removed, branches get chipped or hauled away, and we rake up the debris. You’re left with a clean yard and one less problem to worry about. If you want the stump gone too, we handle that with our grinding equipment.

Emergency Tree Removal Hempstead

What's Included in Tree Removal

You get the complete job, not just the cutting. We bring the right equipment for your specific situation – bucket trucks for tall trees, cranes for tight spaces, stump grinders if you want the roots gone too.

All debris gets cleaned up and hauled away. We don’t pile branches on your curb and call it done. Wood chips can stay if you want them for landscaping, otherwise everything goes with us.

Emergency calls get priority response. When a tree comes down on your house or blocks your driveway, you need someone there fast.

How much does tree removal cost in Hempstead?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near your house or power lines can run several thousand. We factor in the tree’s height, trunk diameter, how close it is to structures, and whether special equipment is needed. Most removals in Hempstead fall between $500 and $2,000. We provide upfront quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start cutting.
Nassau County requires permits for removing certain trees, especially larger specimens or trees in protected areas. The rules can be complex – some trees require permits based on size, others based on species or location on your property. We handle the permit research and applications for you since we know the local regulations. Emergency removals for safety reasons often get expedited approval. Don’t risk fines or having to replant – let us navigate the permit process and keep you compliant with local tree ordinances.
For true emergencies – trees on houses, blocking roads, or creating immediate safety hazards – we typically respond within a few hours. We keep crews and equipment ready for storm damage and urgent situations throughout Hempstead. Non-emergency removals usually get scheduled within a week, depending on the season. Spring and fall are our busiest times, while winter often has faster availability. If you’re dealing with a dangerous tree that could fall, don’t wait. Call us immediately and we’ll prioritize your situation based on the safety risk involved.
Professional tree removal should minimize damage to your existing landscaping. We use protective mats under heavy equipment, plan our drop zones carefully, and work around flower beds and shrubs whenever possible. Some minor lawn damage is inevitable with large tree removals – heavy equipment leaves tracks and falling branches can create divots. However, we repair obvious damage and reseed affected areas as part of our cleanup process. The key is hiring experienced crews who know how to work in tight residential spaces without destroying everything around the tree.
Tree removal is one of the most dangerous DIY projects homeowners attempt. Every year, people are seriously injured or killed trying to cut down trees without proper equipment or training. Trees fall unpredictably, chainsaws kick back, and branches under tension can snap with lethal force. Professional tree services have specialized equipment, insurance coverage, and years of experience reading how trees will fall. Unless you’re dealing with a small sapling, hire professionals. The cost of professional removal is minimal compared to potential medical bills, property damage, or worse.
Most tree services, including ours, haul away all the wood and debris as part of the removal cost. We typically chip smaller branches for mulch and cut larger sections for firewood or lumber processing. If you want to keep some of the wood for your own use, just let us know before we start – we can cut logs to your preferred lengths and stack them where you want. Wood chips also make excellent mulch for landscaping if you’d rather keep them than have us haul them away. We’re flexible about what stays and what goes based on your preferences.
