Tree Removal Process

Safe Removal From Start to Finish

The process starts with an assessment of the tree and surrounding area. Our team identifies potential hazards, determines the safest removal approach, and plans the work to protect your property.

Large trees get removed in sections, starting from the top and working down. Each cut is calculated to control where branches and trunk sections fall. Smaller trees may come down in one piece when space allows.

Cleanup happens as the work progresses. All debris gets loaded and hauled away, leaving your property clean. We do a final walkthrough to ensure nothing gets missed and your landscape looks right.

How much does tree removal cost in Melville?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area costs less than a large oak hanging over your house. Most residential tree removals in Melville range from $500 to $2,500. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including removal, cleanup, and debris disposal. Emergency removals may cost more due to urgency and after-hours work. The estimate includes everything needed to complete the job safely.

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

Melville and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those near property lines. Dead or hazardous trees typically don’t require permits, but healthy trees over certain sizes might need approval. We understand local regulations and can advise whether your tree removal needs permits. We handle permit applications when required, ensuring your tree removal complies with all local ordinances. It’s always better to check before cutting to avoid potential fines or legal issues.

How long does tree removal take?

Most single tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. A small tree in an open yard might take 2 hours total including cleanup. Large trees near structures require more time for careful sectional removal and can take a full day. Multiple tree removals obviously take longer. Weather conditions and access to the tree also affect timing. We provide realistic timeframes during the estimate process, so you know what to expect. Emergency removals get prioritized and often happen the same day you call.

Is tree removal dangerous for my house and property?

Professional tree removal is much safer than leaving dangerous trees standing. Our crew uses proper techniques and equipment to control where tree sections fall. Rigging systems guide large branches away from structures. We assess every job for potential hazards and plan removal accordingly. Professional arborists understand tree physics and cutting techniques that prevent property damage. DIY tree removal is extremely dangerous and often causes more damage than hiring professionals. We carry full insurance for additional protection, but proper technique prevents most issues.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All debris gets loaded and hauled away as part of the service. Branches and smaller material typically go to composting facilities. Larger trunk sections may be processed into lumber or firewood depending on the wood type and condition. Some customers ask to keep firewood for personal use, which can be arranged. Wood chips from the removal process can be left for your landscaping use if desired. We handle all disposal according to local regulations, so you don’t worry about where the material goes or how to get rid of it.

Can you remove trees in winter or bad weather?

Tree removal happens year-round, though weather conditions affect scheduling and safety. Winter removal is often easier because there are no leaves to deal with and frozen ground protects landscaping from equipment damage. However, ice storms, high winds, or severe weather may delay non-emergency work for safety reasons. Emergency tree removal happens regardless of weather when trees threaten immediate safety. We prioritize storm-damaged trees that pose hazards to homes or power lines. Our crew uses appropriate safety measures and may adjust techniques based on weather conditions.
