Tree Removal Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your tree and explain the removal plan. You’ll know exactly how the tree comes down, what gets protected, and what the cleanup involves. No surprises.

We set up safety barriers and protective materials around your property. Trees get removed in sections, starting from the top, so nothing damages your house, fence, or landscaping. Each piece gets lowered carefully using ropes and rigging systems.

After the tree is down, everything gets cleaned up. Branches get chipped, logs get hauled away, and the area gets raked clean. You can add stump grinding to completely finish the job. The whole process typically takes a few hours to a full day, depending on the tree size and location.

Complete Tree Disposal Service

Everything's Included in the Price

Tree removal includes the actual cutting, all cleanup, and complete debris removal. You don’t pay extra for hauling away branches or cleaning up the mess. We bring wood chippers for smaller branches and trucks for larger pieces.

Stump grinding is available as an add-on service. Most homeowners choose this option because it completely eliminates the tree and lets you replant or use the space immediately. We can also handle any necessary permits for trees near power lines or in protected areas.

Emergency tree removal is available for storm damage situations. When trees fall across driveways or damage property, our response is typically same-day or next-day, depending on the situation and weather conditions.

How much does tree removal cost in Saint James?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800. Medium trees run $800-1,500. Large trees over 60 feet or trees near power lines can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. The price includes cutting, cleanup, and debris removal. Stump grinding adds $100-400 depending on stump size. Every job gets a free estimate so you know the exact cost before any work begins.

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

Most tree removals on private property in Saint James don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. Trees near power lines, trees over a certain size, or trees in protected areas may need permits from the town. We handle permit applications when needed and know the local regulations. If your tree is diseased, damaged, or poses a safety hazard, permits are usually easier to obtain. The estimate process includes checking whether permits are required for your specific situation.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

Small trees typically take 2-4 hours including cleanup. Medium-sized trees take 4-8 hours. Large trees or complex removals can take a full day or more. Trees near houses, power lines, or other structures take longer because they require careful sectional removal. Weather conditions, crew size, and access to the tree also affect timing. Emergency removals for storm damage get prioritized and often happen the same day or next day, depending on safety conditions and crew availability.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All debris gets hauled away as part of the service. Smaller branches go through wood chippers and get recycled as mulch. Larger logs get cut into manageable pieces and removed by truck. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, that can usually be arranged – just mention it during the estimate. We rake and clean the area after removal, so you’re not left with sawdust, wood chips, or scattered debris. Complete cleanup is included in every tree removal job.

Can you remove trees during winter or bad weather?

Tree removal happens year-round, but weather conditions affect scheduling. Light rain or cold temperatures usually aren’t a problem. High winds, ice storms, or severe weather require waiting for safe conditions. Winter removal is often easier because there are no leaves to deal with, and frozen ground protects landscaping from equipment damage. Emergency storm damage gets handled as soon as it’s safe to work. We prioritize jobs where fallen trees block access or threaten additional property damage.

Are you licensed and insured for tree removal work?

Yes, Miguels Tree Service carries full licensing and insurance for all tree removal work. This includes general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Insurance protects your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during removal. We follow industry safety standards and use proper equipment for every job. Proof of insurance is available upon request, and many homeowners provide this documentation to their insurance companies when filing claims for storm-damaged trees.
