How much does tree removal cost in Montauk?

Tree removal costs in Montauk typically range from $500 for smaller trees to $3,000+ for large, complex removals. The final price depends on tree size, location difficulty, and whether stump grinding is included. Trees near power lines, structures, or in tight spaces require more specialized equipment and time, which affects pricing. We provide free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Emergency storm damage removal may carry premium pricing due to urgent response needs.
Montauk tree removal permits depend on tree size, species, and location on your property. Trees over certain diameter thresholds or protected species typically require permits from local authorities. Trees in wetland areas or near shorelines may need additional environmental permits. We handle permit applications and know which removals require approval. It’s worth checking requirements before scheduling removal, as unpermitted tree removal can result in fines. We’ll guide you through any permit requirements during the initial assessment.
Most residential tree removals in Montauk take 2-6 hours depending on tree size and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet often get removed in 1-2 hours including cleanup. Large trees near structures or power lines can take a full day when sectional removal and careful rigging are required. Weather conditions, equipment access, and stump grinding add time to the process. Emergency removals for storm damage get prioritized and often completed same-day. We provide time estimates during the initial consultation based on your specific situation.
We carry comprehensive liability insurance covering property damage during tree work. This insurance protects your home, vehicles, landscaping, and neighboring properties if accidents occur. We readily provide insurance documentation and understand why property owners need this protection. We carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Always verify insurance coverage before hiring any tree service and request to see current certificates. Uninsured tree services put your property at serious financial risk if something goes wrong during removal.
Trees near power lines require specialized training, equipment, and often coordination with utility companies. We use insulated tools and maintain safe distances from energized lines during removal. Some situations require the utility company to temporarily disconnect power for safe removal. Never attempt DIY removal of trees touching or near power lines – this creates serious electrocution and fire risks. We assess each situation and coordinate with PSEG or other local utilities when necessary. The process takes longer but ensures everyone’s safety during removal.
We include complete debris cleanup and hauling in our pricing. Branches and smaller wood get chipped on-site and removed for composting or mulch production. Larger trunk sections may get cut for firewood if requested, or hauled away for lumber processing. We can leave firewood on-site for property owners who want it. All leaves, chips, and debris get cleaned from your property as part of standard service. Stump grindings typically get removed or can be left as mulch if desired. Complete cleanup leaves your property looking better than before the tree was removed.
