Complete Tree Services Commack

Full Tree Care Beyond Just Removal

Tree removal gets the attention, but smart property owners know that proper tree care prevents most emergency situations. Our certified arborists provide comprehensive services that keep your trees healthy and your property safe year-round.

We handle pruning and trimming to remove dead wood, improve tree structure, and reduce storm damage risk. Crown reduction helps oversized trees that threaten power lines or structures. Emergency services are available when storms hit and you need immediate help with fallen trees or dangerous hangers.

Stump grinding completes the job properly, eliminating trip hazards and allowing you to replant or landscape the area. We also provide tree health assessments – sometimes that “dying” tree just needs proper care, not removal. Our goal is keeping your property safe while preserving valuable trees whenever possible.

How much does tree removal cost in Commack, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity, but most residential jobs in Commack range from $500 to $2,500. A small tree under 30 feet might cost $500-800, while large oaks or maples near structures can run $1,500-2,500 or more. Emergency storm work typically costs more due to urgency and hazardous conditions. We provide free written estimates that include removal, cleanup, and debris hauling – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment protects your property value and eliminates safety risks that could cost much more if ignored.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Commack and most Long Island municipalities don’t require permits for removing trees on private property, but there are exceptions. Trees in wetland areas, trees over certain sizes, or properties in historic districts may have restrictions. Some homeowners associations also have tree removal policies. We’re familiar with local regulations and can advise you during our assessment. If permits are needed, we’ll guide you through the process. It’s always better to check first rather than face fines or legal issues later. Most standard residential tree removals proceed without permit requirements.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Several warning signs indicate a tree may need removal: large dead branches, fungal growth at the base, significant lean toward structures, root damage from construction, or hollow trunk areas. Storm damage that splits the main trunk or removes major limbs often means removal is the safest option. However, many trees that look “bad” to homeowners can actually be saved with proper care. Our certified arborists assess tree health, structural integrity, and risk factors to give you an honest evaluation. We’ll recommend removal only when it’s truly necessary for safety – healthy trees add too much property value to remove unnecessarily.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscape damage through proper planning and equipment. We use protective mats under heavy equipment, plan debris drop zones carefully, and use rigging techniques to control where branches fall. Some minor lawn disturbance is usually unavoidable, especially for large trees, but we repair obvious damage and reseed if needed. The key difference between professionals and amateurs is that we plan the entire job before making the first cut. Fly-by-night operators who just drop trees wherever they fall cause the expensive damage you’re worried about. Proper tree removal protects your investment in landscaping.

Can you remove trees in winter or bad weather?

We perform tree removal year-round, including winter months when trees are dormant. Winter removal actually has advantages – no leaves means better visibility of branch structure, and dormant trees are lighter. However, we don’t work in dangerous conditions like ice storms, high winds, or severe weather that compromises safety. Emergency storm damage is different – we respond quickly to remove fallen trees blocking driveways or threatening structures, but we prioritize crew safety. Frozen ground can actually make access easier for heavy equipment. We’ll schedule around weather conditions and communicate clearly about any delays for safety reasons.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

Complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our service – not an extra charge. Small branches and leaves get chipped for disposal, while larger logs can be handled several ways depending on your preference. We can remove all wood from your property, cut logs into firewood lengths for you to keep, or leave select pieces if you want them for other projects. Stumps are ground below grade so you can plant grass or landscaping over the area. We rake and clean the work area, leaving your property neat and ready for whatever comes next. The goal is having your tree problem completely resolved, not just cut down and abandoned.
