Tree Removal Process Lake Ronkonkoma

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we evaluate the tree and surrounding area to plan the safest removal approach. You get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why, plus a written estimate with no hidden costs.

The removal starts with strategic cutting to control where each section falls. Professional rigging equipment guides heavy branches away from your house, cars, and other trees. We work systematically from top to bottom.

Cleanup happens as we go, not after everything’s down. Branches get chipped, logs get sectioned for removal, and the stump gets ground below grade if requested. Your yard gets raked clean before we leave.

How much does tree removal cost in Lake Ronkonkoma?

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 close to houses or power lines cost more because they require specialized rigging equipment and extra safety precautions. Emergency removals during storms may include additional charges for immediate response. The best way to get accurate pricing is through a free on-site estimate where we can evaluate your specific situation and provide a written quote with no surprises.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Most tree removals on private property in Lake Ronkonkoma don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. Trees over a certain diameter or those in protected areas may need approval from the town. If your tree is near property lines, you’ll want to verify it’s actually on your land before removal. Some homeowner associations have their own tree removal restrictions. Heritage or landmark trees sometimes have special protection status. The safest approach is checking with the Town of Islip building department if you’re unsure, especially for very large or old trees that might have special designations.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

Emergency tree removal typically happens within 24 hours of your call, often the same day if the tree poses immediate danger to people or property. Priority goes to trees that have fallen on houses, are blocking driveways, or threatening to fall on structures. During major storms affecting multiple properties, response times may extend to 48-72 hours as we work through the most dangerous situations first. Non-emergency removals after storms usually get scheduled within a week once immediate hazards are cleared. Having a local tree service you can call immediately after storm damage gives you the fastest response when you need it most.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn damage through careful planning and proper equipment. We use plywood or mats to protect grass areas where heavy equipment needs to travel. Strategic rigging controls where branches fall instead of letting them crash randomly across your landscaping. Some minor lawn damage is unavoidable with large tree removals, but experienced crews know how to limit it to small areas that recover quickly. The alternative – letting a dangerous tree fall naturally – typically causes far more extensive damage to your property. Most lawn areas recover within a growing season, especially if the work is done during dormant periods when grass isn’t actively growing.

Should I try to remove a small tree myself?

Small tree removal looks simple but involves more risk than most homeowners realize. Even trees under 20 feet can cause serious injury or property damage if they fall the wrong direction. Chainsaw operation requires experience to avoid kickback accidents that send people to emergency rooms every year. You also need to consider underground utilities, overhead power lines, and nearby structures that could be damaged. Professional arborists carry insurance to cover accidents, while DIY removal leaves you personally liable for any damage or injuries. For the relatively small cost difference, professional removal eliminates personal risk and ensures the job gets done safely.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

Most tree removal services chip branches and haul away all debris as part of the standard service. Larger trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths if you want to keep them, or hauled away if you don’t. Some homeowners like keeping logs for firewood, especially from hardwood trees like oak or maple. Wood chips can be left for mulch if you have garden areas, though fresh chips should age before using around plants. If you have specific plans for the wood, discuss this during the estimate so we can cut pieces to your preferred lengths. Otherwise, everything gets removed and disposed of properly at approved facilities.
