How much does tree removal cost in Valley Stream?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,500-3,000. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra care required. We provide detailed written estimates that include all aspects of the job – removal, cleanup, and stump grinding if requested. Emergency removal after storms may include additional charges for immediate response, but we discuss all costs upfront before starting work.
Valley Stream requires permits for removing certain trees, particularly those over specific sizes or protected species. The town has regulations about removing healthy trees on residential properties, and there are often restrictions during bird nesting season. We handle permit applications as part of our service and know the local requirements. Dead, diseased, or immediately dangerous trees typically don’t require permits, but we verify this before starting work. The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, but emergency situations involving safety hazards can often be addressed immediately with proper documentation.
Most residential tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on the tree’s size and location. A small tree in an open yard might take just an hour, while a large oak near your house could take a full day. Complex jobs involving power lines, tight spaces, or multiple trees obviously take longer. Weather conditions also affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or severe storms for safety reasons. We provide time estimates with your quote and always call ahead on the day of service to confirm our arrival time. Emergency removals get priority scheduling, often same-day service when trees are blocking roads or threatening structures.
Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscaping damage, but some impact is unavoidable with large trees. We use protective mats under heavy equipment and plan our approach to avoid flower beds and shrubs whenever possible. Small trees can often be removed with minimal ground disturbance, while large trees require equipment that may leave tire marks or compact soil. We restore the area as much as possible after removal, including filling holes and leveling ground. Any significant damage is discussed upfront, and we work with you to minimize impact on valuable landscaping. Most lawn damage recovers quickly, especially if the tree was blocking sunlight.
We remove trees year-round, but weather conditions determine what’s safe. Winter tree removal is often easier because there are no leaves to deal with, and frozen ground can actually support equipment better. However, we don’t work during ice storms, high winds, or severe weather for obvious safety reasons. Emergency situations like fallen trees or immediate hazards get priority regardless of season. Winter scheduling is often more flexible since it’s not peak season, and you might save money on off-season rates. Snow makes access more challenging, but we have equipment to handle most winter conditions safely.
We typically remove all wood and debris as part of our service, but you can keep the wood if you want it for firewood. Large logs are cut into manageable pieces, and we can stack them wherever you prefer on your property. Branches and smaller debris go to recycling facilities where they’re turned into mulch or biomass fuel. If you don’t want the wood, removal and disposal are included in your quote. Some valuable wood species like oak or cherry might have resale value – we can discuss options if your tree produces premium lumber. Stump grinding creates wood chips that we usually leave on-site as natural mulch, but we can remove those too if preferred.
