How much does tree removal cost in University Gardens?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $800-2000 or more. The tree’s condition, accessibility for equipment, and whether you want stump grinding all affect the price. Long Island Best Tree Service provides free written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Emergency tree removal typically costs more due to the urgent nature and potential after-hours work required.
University Gardens follows Nassau County regulations for tree removal, and permits may be required depending on the tree’s size and location. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, but dead, diseased, or hazardous trees can often be removed without permits. Trees near property lines, in protected areas, or those considered significant to the community may have special requirements. Long Island Best Tree Service handles permit applications when needed and knows the local regulations. During your free estimate, we’ll let you know if permits are required and can obtain them for you, ensuring your tree removal is completely legal and compliant.
Most residential tree removals in University Gardens take 2-6 hours to complete, including cleanup. Small to medium trees in open areas can be removed in 1-3 hours, while large trees or those in tight spaces near structures may take a full day. Complex removals requiring crane work or extensive rigging can take longer. The timeline includes sectioning down the tree, cleaning up all debris, and hauling everything away. Stump grinding adds another 30-60 minutes depending on stump size. Weather conditions, equipment access, and permit requirements can affect scheduling. Long Island Best Tree Service provides realistic timeframes during your estimate and keeps you informed if conditions change the expected schedule.
Homeowner’s insurance typically covers tree removal only when the tree damages your home, other covered structures, or blocks your driveway. If a storm knocks down a tree that hits your house, insurance usually pays for both the damage repairs and tree removal. However, insurance rarely covers removing trees that haven’t caused damage, even if they’re dead or dangerous. Preventive tree removal is considered maintenance and comes out of your pocket. If you’re filing an insurance claim, Long Island Best Tree Service can work with your insurance adjuster and provide the documentation needed for your claim. We understand insurance requirements and can help make the claims process smoother when coverage applies.
After tree removal, Long Island Best Tree Service typically hauls away all wood and debris as part of our service. The wood goes to local recycling facilities where it’s processed into mulch, wood chips, or lumber depending on the tree species and condition. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood or other uses, let us know during your estimate – we can cut sections to your specifications and stack them where you want. Some homeowners like keeping logs for landscaping projects or firewood. Our crew can also chip smaller branches on-site if you want wood chips for your garden beds, though this isn’t always practical in residential settings.
Removing trees near power lines requires special training, equipment, and often coordination with utility companies. Long Island Best Tree Service’s certified arborists are trained in electrical hazard awareness and have the specialized equipment needed for working around power lines safely. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe removal procedures. In some cases, the utility company needs to temporarily shut off power or remove lines before tree removal can proceed safely. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – even dead branches can conduct electricity, and the risk of electrocution or widespread power outages is serious. Our professional arborists know how to assess and handle these dangerous situations properly.
