How much does tree removal cost in Riverhead?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including removal, cleanup, and any additional services like stump grinding. Emergency storm damage removal may have different pricing due to urgency and after-hours work. The best way to get an accurate price is to have us assess your specific situation.

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

Riverhead has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain zones. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without permits, but larger trees may require approval from the town. Trees near wetlands, in historic districts, or designated as significant specimens often need permits. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you determine if permits are needed. If permits are required, we can guide you through the application process or recommend when to contact the town directly.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

For true emergencies where trees are blocking roads, threatening structures, or creating immediate safety hazards, we typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours and as quickly as possible after hours. Storm situations may create higher demand, but we prioritize based on safety risks. If a tree has already fallen on your house or is actively threatening people or property, we’ll make every effort to respond immediately. For urgent but non-emergency situations, we usually schedule within 24-48 hours.

Will you clean up all the debris after tree removal?

Yes, complete cleanup is included in our tree removal service. We remove all branches, logs, leaves, and wood chips from your property. The only thing we typically leave behind is larger logs if you specifically request them for firewood. We also rake and clean the area so your property looks neat when we’re finished. Stump grinding creates additional wood chips, which we can remove or spread as mulch if you prefer. Our goal is to leave your property in better condition than when we arrived.

Can you work around power lines safely?

We can work near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe procedures. In some cases, the utility company needs to de-energize lines temporarily. We never attempt to remove trees from live power lines ourselves – that’s extremely dangerous and should only be handled by utility crews or certified line clearance arborists. We’ll assess your situation and coordinate with the appropriate parties to ensure the work is done safely and legally.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but pruning is the more precise term for proper tree care. Pruning involves selective removal of branches to improve tree health, structure, and appearance. It’s done at specific times of year and follows arboricultural standards. Trimming often refers to more general cutting, sometimes just for appearance or clearance. Proper pruning considers the tree’s biology, growth patterns, and long-term health. Poor trimming can damage trees and create safety hazards. Our arborists use proper pruning techniques to maintain tree health while achieving your goals for safety and appearance.
