Tree Removal Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a free estimate where our arborist evaluates the tree, surrounding structures, and the safest removal approach. You get a detailed explanation of the work and transparent pricing upfront.

On removal day, we arrive with the right equipment and team size for your specific job. We section the tree carefully, using ropes and rigging to control every piece as it comes down. Nothing falls freely or risks damaging your property.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up all debris. Your yard is left clean and level, ready for new landscaping or simply clear of the hazard that brought us there. The entire process typically takes one day for most residential trees.

How much does tree removal cost in Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Most residential tree removals in Islip range from $500 to $2,000. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $500-$800, while large trees over 60 feet or those near structures cost $1,200-$2,000 or more. We provide free estimates that include all work – cutting, stump grinding, and cleanup – so you know the total cost upfront. Emergency removals may cost more due to urgency and after-hours work, but we discuss pricing before starting any work.
Permit requirements vary by tree size and location in Islip. Generally, you don’t need permits for trees under 6 inches in diameter or those that are dead, diseased, or damaged. However, larger healthy trees or those in protected areas may require town approval. We help determine if permits are needed and can guide you through the application process if required. It’s always better to check first rather than face fines later. Our team knows local regulations and will advise you on compliance during your free estimate.
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 require more time for careful sectioning and rigging. Complex jobs involving multiple trees or difficult access may take a full day. We provide time estimates during your consultation and always prioritize safety over speed. Weather conditions can also affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or storms when it’s unsafe for our crew or your property.
Professional tree removal should cause minimal damage to your property. We use protective mats under heavy equipment, plan debris drop zones carefully, and use rigging techniques to control where tree sections land. Some minor lawn damage from equipment is normal and typically recovers quickly, especially if we work during growing season. We avoid working in wet conditions that cause more ground damage. Any significant landscape damage is rare when proper techniques are used. We discuss potential impacts during your estimate and take steps to minimize disruption to your yard and garden areas.
We can remove trees year-round, but weather conditions affect scheduling and safety. Winter removal is often easier because frozen ground supports equipment better and there’s no concern about damaging dormant lawns. However, we don’t work during high winds, ice storms, or severe weather when it’s unsafe. Emergency situations may require immediate response regardless of conditions, but we assess risks carefully. Snow can actually make removal easier by cushioning falling debris, though extremely cold temperatures can make equipment operation more challenging. We’ll reschedule non-emergency work if conditions aren’t safe.
We handle all wood disposal as part of our service, hauling away logs, branches, and debris unless you request otherwise. Many customers ask us to leave firewood-sized logs for their use, which we’re happy to do at no extra charge. We can also cut logs to specific lengths if you have a fireplace or wood stove. Large trunk sections can be left for customers who want them milled into lumber, though this requires advance planning. All other debris gets recycled at local facilities rather than going to landfills. If you want all material removed completely, that’s included in your quoted price with no additional fees.
