Tree Removal Process Poquott

Here's Exactly How We Handle It

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area. We look at power lines, structures, and the safest direction for removal. You get a written estimate with no surprises.

On removal day, we section the tree from top to bottom if it’s near your house, or fell it in one piece if there’s space. We use ropes, rigging, and cranes when needed to control every piece.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up every branch, leaf, and wood chip. Your yard looks like we were never there, except the tree is gone.

Complete Tree Removal Poquott

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your tree removal includes complete stump grinding, not just cutting it flush. We remove the entire root system so you can plant grass or new landscaping immediately.

All debris gets hauled away the same day. Branches, logs, leaves, everything. We don’t leave piles for you to deal with later or charge extra for cleanup like some companies do.

If we need permits for your removal, we handle the paperwork. If the tree is near power lines, we coordinate with PSEG. You don’t have to make phone calls or figure out regulations.

How much does tree removal cost in Poquott?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, medium trees 30-60 feet cost $800-1,500, and large trees over 60 feet range from $1,500-3,000+. Trees near power lines, houses, or requiring crane access cost more due to additional safety measures and equipment. We provide written estimates that include removal, stump grinding, and complete cleanup so you know the total cost upfront.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Poquott?

Poquott requires permits for removing trees over 6 inches in diameter, with some exceptions for dead or hazardous trees. The village also has specific regulations about trees near wetlands or within certain distances of property lines. We handle permit applications as part of our service and know which removals require approval. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, though emergency removals for storm-damaged or dangerous trees can often proceed immediately with proper documentation.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. Small trees can be removed in under 2 hours, while large trees near structures may take a full day. Trees requiring crane access add time for equipment setup. Weather conditions, especially wind, can delay removal for safety reasons. We complete stump grinding and cleanup the same day whenever possible, though large stumps or wet conditions might require a return visit.

Is tree removal covered by homeowners insurance?

Insurance typically covers tree removal only if the tree damages your home, vehicle, or other covered structure. Preventive removal of healthy trees is usually not covered, even if they pose potential risks. However, if a storm damages a tree and it threatens structures, insurance often covers emergency removal. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can provide documentation needed for claims. For preventive removals, the cost is typically the homeowner’s responsibility but protects against future damage claims.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We typically chip smaller branches and haul away all debris as part of our standard service. Larger logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if requested, or we can remove everything for complete cleanup. Some valuable hardwood logs may be taken to sawmills for lumber. We don’t charge extra for standard debris removal, though special requests like cutting and stacking firewood may have additional costs. Most Poquott homeowners prefer complete removal for a clean, finished appearance.

Can you remove trees in winter or bad weather?

We perform tree removal year-round, though winter conditions can affect scheduling and techniques. Frozen ground actually makes cleanup easier in some cases, while snow and ice require extra safety precautions. We don’t remove trees during active storms, high winds over 25 mph, or severe weather conditions. Emergency removals for storm-damaged trees that threaten structures are prioritized and performed as soon as safely possible. Winter removals often have shorter lead times since it’s our less busy season.
