We Know Long Island Trees

How We Remove Trees Safely

First, we assess the tree and your property to plan the safest removal approach. This includes checking for power lines, structures, and underground utilities that could complicate the job.

We section the tree from top to bottom when space is tight, or fell it in one piece when there’s room. Our equipment includes cranes and specialized rigging when needed to avoid any damage to your property.

The cleanup is thorough. We chip all branches, cut logs to your preferred size if you want firewood, and grind stumps below ground level. Your property looks better than when we arrived, not like a construction zone.

What's Included in Tree Removal

Every tree removal includes complete site cleanup and debris removal. We don’t leave you with a pile of wood to deal with later. Branches get chipped, logs get hauled away or cut for firewood if you prefer.

Stump grinding goes at least six inches below grade so you can plant grass or new landscaping immediately. We fill the hole with clean soil and seed if needed.

In Oakdale’s tight suburban lots, we often work around landscaping, driveways, and neighboring properties. Our team knows how to navigate these challenges without damaging your lawn, garden beds, or hardscaping. We use plywood and other protection methods to preserve your property during the removal process.

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-800, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,500-4,000. We provide free estimates that include all aspects of the job – cutting, cleanup, stump grinding, and disposal. The estimate covers everything so you won’t get surprised with extra charges later. Emergency removals after storms may cost more due to the urgent nature and additional safety precautions required.
Most tree removals on private property in Oakdale don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. Trees over a certain size or those in protected areas may need approval from the town. If the tree is near property lines, you’ll want to verify it’s actually on your property before removal. We can help you determine if permits are needed and guide you through the process if required. It’s always better to check first than deal with fines or legal issues later.
Trees touching or very close to power lines require special procedures. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe removal. In some cases, the utility company needs to de-energize lines temporarily during the work. We have the training and equipment to work around electrical hazards, but safety always comes first. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. We handle all the coordination with utility companies so you don’t have to navigate that process.
You have several options for the wood from your removed tree. We can cut logs into firewood lengths if you have a fireplace or wood-burning stove. Many homeowners in Oakdale choose this option since heating costs keep rising. If you don’t want the wood, we haul it away for recycling into mulch or other wood products. Branches and smaller material get chipped on-site and removed. We can also leave you some of the wood chips for your garden beds if you’d like natural mulch for your landscaping.
Most single tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. Small trees in open areas might be done in under two hours, while large trees near structures can take a full day. Multiple tree removals obviously take longer. Weather can affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or storms for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate. Emergency removals get priority scheduling, often same-day service when trees are blocking driveways or threatening structures.
Yes, Miguel’s Tree Service is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property during the tree removal. We can provide proof of insurance before starting work if your homeowner’s insurance requires it. Many insurance companies actually require professional removal for certain tree situations, especially after storm damage. Being properly licensed means we follow industry safety standards and local regulations for tree removal in Oakdale and throughout Long Island.
