Tree Removal Process

Here's How We Handle Your Tree Removal

First, our certified arborist evaluates the tree and surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, check for power lines, and plan the safest removal approach. You get a detailed estimate that covers everything from cutting to cleanup.

On removal day, we protect your property with tarps and barriers. Our crew uses specialized rigging equipment to control each section as it comes down. No guessing, no hoping for the best – every cut is planned and controlled.

After the tree is down, we handle stump grinding if needed and complete debris removal. We rake, blow, and clean until your property looks pristine. You’ll have trouble finding where the tree used to be.

How much does tree removal cost in Lake Success?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near houses or power lines require specialized rigging equipment, which increases the price. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including removal, cleanup, and optional stump grinding. Emergency removals during storms may include additional charges for after-hours service, but we’re transparent about all pricing upfront.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Lake Success?

Lake Success requires permits for removing healthy trees over certain sizes, typically 6 inches in diameter or larger. Dead, diseased, or storm-damaged trees usually don’t require permits, but it’s always best to check with the village office. Trees in wetland areas or those designated as specimen trees have additional restrictions. We help navigate the permit process and can often determine if your tree qualifies for permit exemption. The permit application usually takes 2-3 weeks, so plan accordingly if your tree isn’t an immediate safety hazard.

How long does tree removal take?

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 under two hours, while large trees near structures may require a full day. Complex jobs involving multiple trees or difficult access can take longer. Weather conditions also affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or storms for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the estimate and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal should minimize landscape damage, though some impact is unavoidable with large trees. We use protective barriers, plywood walkways, and careful equipment placement to protect your lawn and garden beds. Our crews are trained to work efficiently in tight spaces without unnecessary damage to surrounding plants. Any minor lawn damage from equipment typically recovers within a few weeks. We discuss potential impacts during the estimate and take extra precautions around valuable landscaping or delicate plants.

Can you remove trees close to my house safely?

Yes, we specialize in removing trees near structures using controlled rigging techniques. Instead of letting tree sections fall freely, we use ropes and pulleys to lower each piece carefully to the ground. Our certified arborists are trained in these advanced techniques and carry specialized equipment for working in confined spaces. We’ve successfully removed trees just feet from houses, pools, and other structures without damage. The key is proper planning, the right equipment, and experienced crew members who understand rigging physics.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

We offer 24/7 emergency tree service for fallen trees, storm damage, and immediate safety hazards. Emergency calls get priority response, typically within 2-4 hours depending on weather conditions and demand. We handle trees blocking driveways, fallen across power lines, or threatening to fall on structures. Emergency pricing includes after-hours charges, but we’re upfront about costs before starting work. For non-urgent situations, regular scheduling is more cost-effective and allows for better planning and preparation.
