Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles the dangerous ones – storm-damaged trees threatening your house, dead trees that could fall unexpectedly, or trees that have simply outgrown their space. Each removal is planned to avoid damage to your property or landscaping.

Tree trimming and pruning keep healthy trees from becoming problems. Proper pruning prevents branches from interfering with power lines, improves tree health, and reduces wind resistance during storms.

Emergency services respond quickly when storms hit Middle Island. Fallen trees blocking driveways, branches on roofs, or trees threatening to fall get priority response. Stump grinding removes what’s left behind, so you can replant or reclaim that space for other uses.

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while large trees near structures or power lines cost more due to the specialized equipment and extra care required. Most Middle Island tree removals range from $300 to $1,500, but the only way to get an accurate price is with an on-site estimate. Our estimate includes the removal, cleanup, and debris hauling – no hidden fees for cleanup that should be part of the job anyway.
Most tree removals on private property in Middle Island don’t require permits, but there are exceptions. If the tree is very large, considered a heritage tree, or if local ordinances protect certain species, you might need approval first. Trees near property lines sometimes require neighbor notification. The safest approach is checking with Brookhaven Town offices before removing large or significant trees. Dead, diseased, or storm-damaged trees that pose safety hazards typically don’t face permit restrictions since they’re considered emergency removals.
The terms get used interchangeably, but pruning is more precise work focused on tree health, while trimming is generally about appearance and clearance. Pruning removes dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve the tree’s structure and health. It’s done at specific times of year based on the tree species. Trimming usually means cutting back branches for clearance from buildings, power lines, or to maintain a certain shape. Both require understanding how trees respond to cuts – improper cutting can damage trees or encourage weak growth that creates future problems.
Emergency response depends on the severity of the situation and current demand, but safety hazards get priority. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or poses immediate danger, our goal is same-day or next-day response when possible. During major storms that affect the whole Middle Island area, response times are longer because everyone needs help at once. Non-emergency situations – like a tree that looks like it might fall eventually – typically get scheduled within a few days to a week.
Insurance coverage for tree removal depends on why the tree needs to come down and what it damaged. If a storm knocks down a tree that damages your house, fence, or other structures, insurance usually covers both the tree removal and the property damage. However, if you want to remove a healthy tree for landscaping reasons, or if a tree falls without damaging anything, insurance typically won’t pay. Dead or diseased trees are generally your responsibility as preventive maintenance. Always check with your insurance company before assuming coverage, and document everything with photos.
Complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our professional tree service. We haul away all branches, leaves, and debris – you shouldn’t have to deal with piles of brush cluttering your property. Larger wood pieces can often be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if you want them, but most customers prefer complete removal. The wood gets recycled through local facilities or used for mulch and biomass. Some companies charge extra for cleanup, but that’s not how professional service should work – cleanup is part of doing the job right.
