Tree Removal Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess the tree and your property. We identify potential hazards, check for power lines, and plan the safest removal approach. You get a clear explanation of what we’ll do and a written estimate.

On removal day, we set up safety barriers and position our equipment. We cut the tree down in sections, starting from the top, controlling each piece to avoid damage to your house, landscaping, or neighbor’s property.

After the tree is down, we cut everything into manageable pieces and haul it all away. We rake up debris, clean the area, and can grind the stump if you want it gone completely. You’re left with a clean, safe space.

How much does tree removal cost in South Setauket?

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. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. Most residential tree removals in South Setauket range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, but every situation is different. We’ll give you a written quote that includes removal, cleanup, and disposal.

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

South Setauket and Suffolk County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. We know the local requirements and can help you determine if you need permits. Generally, you can remove trees on your property, but there are exceptions for heritage trees, trees near wetlands, or in certain zoned areas. We’ll check your specific situation and handle any necessary paperwork if permits are required.

Can you remove a tree that's close to my house?

Yes, we specialize in removing trees near structures. This is actually one of the most common situations we handle in South Setauket’s residential neighborhoods. We use specialized techniques and equipment to remove trees in tight spaces without damaging your house, roof, or landscaping. The tree is cut down in sections, with each piece carefully controlled and lowered safely. We’ve removed trees just feet from houses, over pools, and in other challenging locations.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We haul away all the wood and debris as part of our service. The wood is recycled – usually chipped for mulch or processed for other uses. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood or other purposes, just let us know and we can cut it to size and stack it for you. Most customers prefer complete removal and cleanup, which is what we include in our standard pricing.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

We prioritize emergency tree removal situations, especially when trees are threatening structures or blocking access. During major storms affecting South Setauket, we typically respond within 24-48 hours for dangerous situations. We’ll secure the immediate hazard first, then schedule complete removal when it’s safe to do so. If a tree has fallen on your house or is hanging dangerously, call us immediately. We understand that storm damage can’t wait.

Are you licensed and insured for tree removal work?

Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured for all tree removal work in South Setauket and throughout Long Island. Our insurance covers property damage and liability, which protects both you and us during the job. We can provide proof of insurance before starting work. This is crucial for tree removal because of the inherent risks involved. Never hire an uninsured tree service – if something goes wrong, you could be liable for damages or injuries.
