How much does tree removal cost in Herricks, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically range from $300-800. Large trees over 60 feet or those near structures can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Emergency removals after storms may have additional charges. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Factors like power line proximity, access difficulty, and stump removal affect the final price.
Herricks and Nassau County have specific tree removal regulations, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without permits, but larger trees may require approval. Trees near wetlands or in conservation areas have stricter rules. We help determine if permits are needed and can guide you through the application process. It’s better to check first than deal with fines later.
Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours, depending on size and complexity. Small trees can be removed in under 2 hours. Large trees near houses or power lines take longer because we work carefully to avoid damage. Emergency removals get priority scheduling and often happen the same day. Weather conditions can affect timing – we don’t work during high winds or severe storms for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your tree.
Insurance typically covers tree removal if the tree falls due to a covered event like storms, lightning, or wind damage and damages your home or other structures. They usually don’t cover removal of trees that are simply dead, diseased, or pose a potential threat. If a tree falls without damaging structures, most policies won’t cover removal costs. We can work with your insurance adjuster and provide documentation they need for claims. It’s worth checking your specific policy details.
Trees touching or very close to power lines require coordination with PSEG Long Island or your utility company. We don’t cut trees in direct contact with live power lines – that’s utility company work for safety reasons. Once they disconnect or clear the lines, we can safely complete the removal. For trees near but not touching lines, we use specialized techniques and equipment to avoid contact. We always assess the electrical hazard risk before starting any tree removal project.
We typically haul away all debris unless you request otherwise. Many homeowners want the wood for firewood, and we can cut and stack it for you. Larger logs can be milled into lumber if the tree species and condition are suitable. We can also chip smaller branches for mulch if you want it for landscaping. Everything else gets disposed of properly at authorized facilities. Just let us know your preference when we give you the estimate.
