Tree Removal Process

Simple Process From Assessment to Cleanup

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 clear explanation of the process and transparent pricing upfront.

Next, we set up safety barriers and position our equipment. Our crew uses professional rigging techniques to remove the tree in sections, controlling every piece as it comes down. This prevents damage to your home, vehicles, or landscaping.

Finally, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up completely. Every branch, wood chip, and piece of debris gets removed from your property. We rake the area clean and leave you with level ground ready for new landscaping or lawn.

How much does tree removal cost in Melville, NY?

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 near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety measures and specialized equipment required. We provide free estimates that include tree cutting, stump grinding, and complete cleanup so you know the total cost upfront. Emergency tree removal during storms may include additional charges for after-hours service, but we’ll discuss all costs before starting any work.
Melville and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain protected areas. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, but dead, diseased, or dangerous trees can often be removed without permits. We handle all permit applications when required and know the local regulations that apply to your property. Our team checks with the town before starting any job to ensure full compliance. This protects you from potential fines and ensures the work meets all local requirements. We include permit costs in our estimates when applicable.
Most tree removal jobs 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 buildings or power lines may take a full day. Stump grinding adds another 30-60 minutes to the process. Weather conditions and ground access can affect timing – wet conditions or limited equipment access may extend the job. We provide realistic time estimates during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process. Emergency tree removal gets prioritized and often completed the same day you call, especially when trees are blocking driveways or creating safety hazards.
Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your existing landscaping, but some impact is unavoidable when removing large trees. We use protective mats under heavy equipment and plan our approach to avoid flower beds, shrubs, and other plantings whenever possible. Small ruts from equipment can occur in soft soil conditions, but we repair any significant damage to your lawn. The stump grinding process creates wood chips that we remove completely, leaving level ground ready for new grass seed. Most homeowners are surprised by how little damage occurs when the job is done properly with professional equipment and experienced crew members.
We handle tree removal near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation and proximity to electrical wires. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe removal procedures. Our certified arborists are trained in electrical hazard awareness and use specialized techniques for working near power lines. In some cases, the utility company needs to temporarily shut off power or remove lines before we can safely remove the tree. We never attempt risky cuts near live electrical wires. Your safety and our crew’s safety always take priority over speed or convenience.
We handle all wood disposal as part of our tree removal service, but you have options for how the wood gets used. Most customers prefer complete removal where we haul away all logs, branches, and wood chips. If you want firewood, we can cut logs to your preferred length and stack them in a designated area on your property. Wood chips from stump grinding can be left for mulch if you request it, though most people prefer removal since fresh chips can attract insects. We recycle all wood materials through local facilities rather than sending them to landfills. Large logs often get milled into lumber, while smaller material becomes mulch or biomass fuel.
