Emergency Tree Removal Edgewood, NY
Our tree removal service covers every situation you might face. Dead trees, storm-damaged trees, trees growing too close to your house, or trees blocking your renovation plans – we handle them all safely and efficiently.
Edgewood gets hit hard by winter ice storms and summer thunderstorms. Trees that look fine often have hidden damage making them ticking time bombs. We know how to spot these problems and eliminate them before they become expensive emergencies.

How much does tree removal cost in Edgewood, NY?
Tree removal costs in Edgewood, NY typically range from $300 to $1,500, depending on the tree’s size, location, and how tricky the removal will be. Small trees under 30 feet usually cost $300-500, while large trees over 60 feet can run $1,000-2,000 or more.
What affects your price? How close the tree sits to your house or power lines, whether we need special equipment to reach it safely, the tree’s condition, and if you want the stump ground out. Trees we have to carefully piece down to avoid damage cost more than ones we can drop in open space.
We always give you a free estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work starts. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to decide immediately.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Edgewood, NY?
Most tree removals on private property in Edgewood, NY don’t require permits, but there are exceptions you should know about. Trees in protected areas, near public roads, or certain species might need approval from local authorities before removal.
Trees sitting on the boundary between your property and public areas sometimes fall under municipal rules. If there’s any question about ownership or requirements, we help you figure out what’s needed before starting work.
We’ve worked in Greene County long enough to know the local regulations inside and out. If a permit is required for your situation, we’ll tell you upfront and can often help with the paperwork to keep your project moving smoothly.
What happens to the wood after tree removal?
We handle complete debris removal as part of our standard service – you won’t be left with piles of branches and wood to deal with. Everything gets hauled away, leaving your property clean and ready to use.
If you want to keep some wood for your fireplace or wood stove, we can cut it to length and stack it wherever you want it. Many Edgewood homeowners like keeping hardwood from healthy trees for winter heating.
For trees that are healthy but need removal for other reasons, we sometimes work with local sawmills or woodworkers who can use the lumber. This reduces waste and occasionally helps offset removal costs, though it depends on the wood species and quality.
How quickly can you remove a storm-damaged tree?
For emergencies where a tree threatens your home or blocks access, we typically respond within 24 hours. Storm damage gets priority because we understand how stressful and dangerous these situations become.
If the tree is down but not creating immediate danger, we’ll usually schedule removal within a few days to a week, depending on our current workload and weather conditions.
During major storms affecting multiple properties, response times may stretch longer as we work through emergency calls by priority. Trees on houses or blocking roads get handled first, followed by trees posing immediate safety risks to families.
Is stump grinding included with tree removal?
Stump grinding is separate from tree removal, though we can handle both jobs during the same visit if you want complete cleanup. Most customers choose stump grinding because stumps are ugly and waste usable yard space.
Stump grinding typically costs $150-500 depending on the stump’s size and location. We grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level – deep enough for grass to grow over the area or for you to plant something new there.
If you’re unsure about stump removal, we can always come back later to handle it. Some people wait to see how the area looks without the tree before deciding whether they want the stump gone too.
What makes a tree dangerous enough to remove?
Several warning signs indicate a tree should come down: dead or dying branches, visible decay at the base, leaning that’s gotten worse over time, or root damage from construction or storms. Trees that regularly drop large branches are also safety hazards you shouldn’t ignore.
In Edgewood, NY, we see frequent problems from ice storms and high winds that crack trunks or damage root systems. Sometimes the damage isn’t obvious until months later when the tree starts showing stress through leaf loss or strange growth patterns.
If you’re worried about a tree on your property, we can assess it during a free consultation. We’ll give you an honest opinion about whether removal is necessary or if trimming and maintenance can solve the problem. We’d rather help you save a healthy tree than remove one unnecessarily.
