Tree Cutting Process Plainview

Straightforward Tree Removal Process

First, we come out and assess the tree, the surrounding area, and any potential complications. You get a written estimate that covers everything – no surprises later about “additional debris removal fees.”

On removal day, we set up protection for your landscaping and nearby structures. The tree comes down in sections using proper rigging techniques. We don’t just drop it and hope for the best.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and haul away all debris. Your yard gets raked clean. Most customers are surprised by how little evidence there is that a large tree was ever there.

How much does tree removal cost in Plainview, NY?

Tree removal costs vary based on size, location, and complexity, but most residential trees in Plainview range from $800 to $3,500 for complete removal including stump grinding. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $800-1,500, while large trees over 60 feet or those near power lines can cost $2,500-5,000. We provide written estimates that include all costs upfront – tree cutting, stump grinding, and debris removal – so you won’t get hit with surprise fees later.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency tree service for storm damage, fallen trees, or trees posing immediate safety risks to people or property. During major storms, we prioritize calls where trees are blocking roads, have fallen on homes, or are threatening power lines. Emergency response typically costs 25-50% more than scheduled removal due to after-hours work and urgent response requirements. We can often provide temporary solutions like cutting fallen trees off driveways within hours, then return for complete removal and cleanup.
Professional tree removal should minimize damage to your existing landscaping, though some impact is unavoidable with large trees. We use plywood and protective barriers to shield flower beds, walkways, and lawn areas from equipment. Our crews are trained to work around existing plants and restore disturbed areas after removal. However, very large trees or those in tight spaces may require equipment that will leave ruts in soft ground, especially during wet conditions. We discuss potential impacts during the estimate and can schedule work during drier periods when possible.
Most residential tree removals in Plainview take 4-8 hours from start to finish, including stump grinding and cleanup. Small to medium trees (under 50 feet) typically take half a day, while large trees or complex removals near structures can take a full day or longer. Emergency removals often happen faster since the focus is on safety rather than perfect cleanup. Weather, ground conditions, and access to the tree all affect timing. We provide estimated completion times with your quote and will update you if conditions change the timeline.
Plainview tree removal permits depend on the tree’s size, species, and location on your property. Most residential trees can be removed without permits, but trees over certain diameters or those in protected areas may require approval from the Town of Oyster Bay. We’re familiar with local regulations and can advise whether permits are needed for your specific situation. If permits are required, we can help with the application process, though permit fees and approval times are separate from our removal costs.
Yes, Long Island Best Tree Service is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We provide copies of our insurance certificates before starting any work, so you have documentation that your property is protected. Our arborists maintain current certifications and follow industry safety standards for all tree removal work. Never hire unlicensed tree services – if someone gets hurt on your property or damages your home, you could be held liable for costs that proper insurance would otherwise cover.
