Medford Tree Company

Local Arborists Who Know Long Island

Miguel’s Tree Service has been handling tree removal in Medford and across Long Island for years. We understand how nor’easters and summer storms affect the oak, maple, and pine trees common in this area.

Our certified arborists carry full insurance and licensing because tree work near homes and power lines isn’t something you trust to weekend warriors with chainsaws. We’ve seen too many botched removal jobs that cost homeowners thousands in property damage.

When you call us for tree removal in Medford, you’re working with professionals who show up with the right equipment and experience to do the job safely the first time.

Tree Removal Process

How We Remove Trees Safely

First, our arborist evaluates the tree and surrounding area to plan the safest removal approach. We identify potential hazards like power lines, structures, and other trees that could be affected.

Next, we section the tree from top to bottom using proper rigging techniques. For trees near your house, we use ropes and pulleys to control exactly where each piece falls. Larger jobs might require our crane service to lift sections over your roof without touching anything.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up all debris. We rake the area and leave your property cleaner than we found it. The whole process typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on the tree’s size and complexity.

Complete Tree Disposal Service

What's Included in Tree Removal

Every tree removal includes complete cleanup and debris disposal. We don’t just cut down your tree and leave you with a pile of wood to deal with. All branches, logs, and leaves get hauled away as part of the service.

Stump grinding is included to remove the remaining root system below ground level. This prevents new shoots from growing and gives you usable space where the tree used to be. We can also provide mulch from the chipped wood if you want it for your landscaping.

For Medford properties with challenging access or trees near structures, we bring specialized equipment including cranes and bucket trucks. Our team handles any necessary permits for protected tree species and works around utility lines safely with proper clearance procedures.

Tree removal costs in Medford typically range from $500 for small trees to $3,000+ for large trees near structures. The price depends on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of removal. Trees close to your house or power lines cost more because they require specialized rigging and equipment to remove safely. We provide free written estimates that break down all costs including stump grinding and cleanup, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Most tree removals on private property in Medford don’t require permits, but there are exceptions for protected species and trees over certain sizes. The Town of Brookhaven has specific regulations about removing healthy trees, especially large oaks and other significant specimens. We help determine if your tree removal needs a permit and can assist with the application process if required. It’s always better to check first rather than face potential fines for unpermitted removal.
For emergency situations like storm-damaged trees blocking driveways or threatening structures, we typically respond within 24 hours in Medford. During major storms affecting Long Island, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we prioritize dangerous situations that pose immediate safety risks. We’re available for emergency tree removal seven days a week because we know fallen trees don’t wait for convenient timing. Call us immediately if you have a tree emergency.
Professional tree removal should cause minimal damage to your existing landscaping. We use protective mats under heavy equipment to prevent soil compaction and lawn damage. Our arborists plan the removal process to avoid flower beds, shrubs, and other plantings whenever possible. Any minor lawn damage from equipment access typically recovers quickly, especially if the removal is done during the right season. We take pride in leaving your property in better condition than when we arrived, not worse.
Yes, but trees touching or very close to power lines require special procedures and coordination with PSEG Long Island. We’re trained in electrical hazard awareness and use proper clearance distances when working near power lines. For trees actually touching wires, the utility company may need to temporarily shut off power during removal. We handle the coordination with PSEG and ensure all safety protocols are followed. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous.
All wood and debris from your tree removal gets hauled away as part of our service unless you request otherwise. We can leave firewood-sized logs if you have a fireplace or wood stove, and we offer free wood chips for mulching your garden beds. The remaining wood gets recycled into lumber, mulch, or biomass rather than going to landfills. Some homeowners in Medford like to keep sections of trunk for landscaping projects or firewood, which we’re happy to accommodate at no extra charge.
