Tree Removal Process Port Jefferson

Here's Exactly How We Handle It

First, we assess the tree and surrounding area. We identify potential hazards, plan the safest removal approach, and protect anything that could be damaged during the process.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom when needed, or fell it in one piece when space allows. Our equipment lets us handle trees of any size, even in tight spaces between houses or near power lines.

Finally, we clean up everything. The trunk gets cut and removed, branches get chipped or hauled away, and the area gets raked clean. You won’t find a single twig left behind when we’re done.

Emergency Tree Removal Services

What's Included in Every Job

Every tree removal includes complete debris removal. We don’t just cut the tree down and leave you with a mess. Branches, trunk sections, and cleanup are all part of the service.

We handle the permit process when required by Port Jefferson regulations. Some tree removals need municipal approval, and we know which ones and how to get it done quickly.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. We prioritize dangerous situations and can often respond the same day when trees threaten homes or block access.

How much does tree removal cost in Port Jefferson?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near power lines or structures can cost several thousand. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including removal, cleanup, and any permit fees. The estimate covers everything so you won’t see surprise charges later.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Port Jefferson?

Port Jefferson requires permits for removing certain trees, especially those over specific sizes or in protected areas. We handle the permit application process as part of our service when required. Most residential tree removals for safety reasons get approved quickly, but the process can take a few days to a few weeks depending on the situation. We’ll let you know upfront if your tree removal needs a permit and take care of the paperwork.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Trees near power lines require special equipment and coordination with the utility company. We’re trained and equipped to work around power lines safely, but some situations require the utility company to temporarily shut off power or remove lines. We coordinate all of this for you and won’t start work until it’s completely safe. Never attempt to remove trees touching or near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We remove all wood and debris as part of our standard service. Smaller branches get chipped, and larger trunk sections get cut into manageable pieces and hauled away. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, we can cut it to your specifications and stack it where you want it. Just let us know during the estimate so we can plan accordingly and adjust pricing if needed.

How quickly can you remove a dangerous tree?

Emergency tree situations get prioritized, and we can often respond the same day for trees that pose immediate safety risks. For non-emergency removals, we typically schedule within a week or two depending on the season and weather. Storm seasons and fall are our busiest times, so scheduling ahead is recommended. If a tree is leaning dangerously or has major damage, don’t wait – call immediately and we’ll assess the urgency.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take precautions to minimize damage to your property, but some impact is unavoidable with large tree removals. We use plywood to protect driveways, move vehicles out of the work area, and plan our approach to avoid landscaping when possible. Heavy equipment may leave some marks on lawns, especially in wet conditions, but grass typically recovers quickly. We’ll discuss potential impacts during your estimate and explain how we’ll minimize any damage to your property.
