Complete Tree Removal Service

Every tree removal includes professional assessment, safe cutting techniques, and complete cleanup. We bring the equipment needed to handle trees of any size, from small ornamentals to massive oaks that have been growing for decades.

Emergency response is available when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. Sag Harbor’s coastal location means weather can change quickly, and we understand that some tree situations can’t wait.

How much does tree removal cost in Sag Harbor?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard 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 stump grinding if needed. The estimate includes everything so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Sag Harbor has specific tree protection ordinances, especially for larger trees and certain species. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, but dead, diseased, or hazardous trees may be exempt. We help you navigate the permit process and can provide documentation showing why removal is necessary. Our arborists know local regulations and will let you know if permits are required for your specific situation.
For true emergencies like storm-damaged trees threatening structures or blocking roads, we typically respond the same day or within 24 hours. We prioritize situations where trees pose immediate safety risks to people or property. Non-emergency removals are usually scheduled within a week, depending on the season and weather conditions. During storm season, emergency calls may experience longer response times due to high demand across Long Island.
We take extensive precautions to protect your property during tree removal. We use protective mats under heavy equipment, plan debris drop zones carefully, and work in sections to minimize impact. Some minor lawn damage is possible with large tree removals, especially if the ground is soft, but we repair obvious damage and clean up thoroughly. Our goal is to leave your property in better condition than we found it, minus the problem tree.
Yes, removing trees near structures is one of our specialties. We use controlled dismantling techniques, taking the tree down piece by piece rather than felling it whole. This involves climbing or using bucket trucks to access different sections and lowering branches and trunk sections with ropes and rigging systems. The process takes longer but eliminates the risk of the tree falling onto your house, garage, or other structures.
We handle all debris removal as part of our service. Branches and smaller wood get chipped and hauled away. Larger trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if requested, or we’ll remove everything. We can also arrange for specialty wood to go to sawmills if the tree has value for lumber. Stump grinding reduces the remaining stump to wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed entirely, depending on your preference.
