You wake up to a tree leaning toward your house after last night’s storm. Your driveway’s blocked. Your neighbor’s asking if that dead oak is going to fall on their fence.
This is exactly when you need tree removal that actually solves the problem. Not just cutting and leaving. Not just showing up when it’s convenient for us. Real removal that clears the danger, cleans up completely, and gives you back your peace of mind.
When we finish your tree removal in Box Hill, you’ll have a clear, safe property and the confidence that comes from working with people who know what they’re doing.
We’ve been handling tree removal throughout Suffolk County since 2009. We’re the local company Box Hill residents call when they need trees removed safely, completely, and without the runaround.
We’ve seen what Suffolk County weather does to trees. The nor’easters that saturate soil and topple healthy oaks. The summer storms with 60+ mph gusts that turn branches into projectiles. We know which trees survive these conditions and which ones become hazards.
That’s why Box Hill homeowners trust us with their most challenging tree removal projects. We’re not just another tree service – we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what you’re dealing with.
First, we assess your situation. Is this an emergency that needs immediate attention, or can we schedule it properly? We look at the tree’s condition, what’s around it, and the safest way to bring it down without damaging your property.
Next, we plan the removal. Large trees get sectioned carefully. Branches near power lines get handled with extra precautions. We coordinate with utility companies when needed. Everything gets mapped out before we make the first cut.
Then we execute the removal using the right equipment for your specific situation. Portable winches redirect falling sections away from your house. Our cleanup crew chips debris on-site and hauls everything away. When we’re done, your property looks better than when we arrived.

Your tree removal includes everything needed to solve the problem completely. We don’t just cut down the tree and leave you with a mess.
Every removal includes sectioning and safe lowering of all branches and trunk pieces. We chip debris on-site, reducing volume by 85%. All wood and debris gets hauled away the same day. Stump grinding eliminates tripping hazards and prevents regrowth.
Box Hill’s coastal location means trees face unique stresses from salt air and severe weather. We understand how these conditions affect different species and adjust our removal techniques accordingly. Whether it’s a storm-damaged maple threatening your roof or a diseased oak that’s become unstable, we have the experience and equipment to handle it safely.
For true emergencies – trees on houses, blocking roads, or contacting power lines – we respond within hours, day or night. Our 24/7 emergency service means you’re not waiting until Monday morning when a tree falls on Saturday night.
For urgent but non-emergency situations, we typically provide estimates within 24 hours and complete removal within 2-3 days during busy season. In winter months, we can often complete the work within a week of your call.
The key is calling us immediately when you notice a dangerous situation. Trees that look stable after a storm can fail without warning as stress redistributes through damaged root systems.
Complete tree removal means everything gets handled properly. We section the tree safely, control where pieces fall, and remove every bit of debris from your property.
This includes chipping branches and smaller wood on-site, hauling away all debris, and basic stump grinding to eliminate the tripping hazard. We also clean up any existing debris in the work area – not just what we create.
What’s not included is extensive stump removal below ground level (unless specifically requested), restoration of landscaping around the removal site, or repair of pre-existing property damage. We’ll discuss any additional services during the estimate.
Tree removal costs depend on size, location, complexity, and what needs to be done beyond just cutting it down. Small trees under 30 feet typically range from $150-450. Medium trees 30-60 feet run $400-850. Large trees over 60 feet start around $600 and can exceed $1,500 for complex situations.
Emergency removals, trees near power lines, and difficult access situations cost more because they require specialized equipment and extra safety precautions. Trees that can be felled in open areas cost less than those requiring careful sectioning around structures.
We provide written estimates that break down exactly what’s included, so you know what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees for basic cleanup and debris removal.
Storm damage is exactly when you need professional tree removal most. We’re available 24/7 for emergency response when storms hit Suffolk County, because dangerous trees don’t wait for convenient hours.
Our storm damage service includes immediate hazard assessment, emergency stabilization if possible, and complete removal of trees that can’t be saved. We coordinate with utility companies when trees contact power lines and work with insurance companies to document damage properly.
After major storms, we prioritize true emergencies – trees on structures, blocking escape routes, or creating immediate safety hazards. Then we work through scheduled removals for damaged trees that pose future risks.
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured for all tree removal work in Suffolk County. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage that protects both our crew and your property.
Our arborists maintain current certifications and stay updated on industry safety standards. We follow OSHA guidelines for tree removal operations and use equipment that meets or exceeds safety requirements.
Before starting any job, we can provide current certificates of insurance and licensing documentation. This protects you from liability if accidents occur and ensures the work meets professional standards.
Trees near power lines require special handling and coordination with utility companies. We’re experienced in working around electrical hazards and follow strict safety protocols for these situations.
For trees contacting active power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to safely de-energize lines before beginning removal. This prevents electrocution risks and neighborhood power outages during the work.
Trees growing close to but not touching lines can often be removed using specialized techniques that keep all equipment and debris clear of electrical hazards. We assess each situation individually and won’t attempt any removal that compromises safety.
