What You Get When It's Done Right

You wake up after a storm and that massive oak isn’t hanging over your roof anymore. Your insurance adjuster sees professional work that meets every requirement. Your neighbors stop asking when you’re going to “do something about those trees.”

The difference is simple: when tree work is handled by actual arborists, you don’t spend the next five years dealing with problems. No surprise root damage to your foundation. No half-dead trees that become the next storm’s projectiles. No cleanup crew that disappears halfway through the job.

You get trees that enhance your property value instead of threatening it. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing the work was done safely, completely, and by people who understand how trees actually grow and respond to cutting.

Tree Cutting Service Process

Here's Exactly What Happens When You Call

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. No guessing, no ballpark estimates shouted from the street. We look at the tree’s health, the risks to your property, and the best approach for removal or trimming.

Then we explain exactly what needs to happen and why. You’ll know which trees can be saved, which ones need to go, and what the timeline looks like. We handle permits if they’re required and coordinate with utility companies when power lines are involved.

On job day, we show up with professional equipment and a crew that knows how to use it. We protect your landscaping, remove trees in sections when needed, and clean up everything down to the sawdust. When we’re done, the only evidence we were there is that your tree problem is gone.

Emergency storm damage response when trees come down on houses, cars, or power lines. Complete tree removal for dead, diseased, or dangerous trees.

We handle the big jobs that require cranes and the detailed work that requires an arborist’s eye. Crown reduction for trees that have outgrown their space. Root management when trees are threatening foundations or septic systems. Disease treatment when valuable trees can still be saved.

Every job includes complete debris removal and cleanup. We’re not the guys who leave brush piles in your yard for weeks. When we finish, your property looks better than when we started.

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might run $300-600, while a large tree near power lines or structures can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. We provide detailed estimates that include everything: cutting, removal, stump grinding, and cleanup. The price you get is the price you pay – no surprise fees for “extra” cleanup or disposal that should have been included from the start.
In West Islip, permit requirements depend on the tree’s size and your property’s zoning. Trees over a certain diameter typically require permits, and there are often restrictions during bird nesting season. We handle permit applications when they’re required and know the local regulations that can trip up homeowners. Don’t risk fines or having to replant expensive trees because the paperwork wasn’t filed correctly. We’ll tell you upfront what’s required and take care of the bureaucracy.
For true emergencies – trees on houses, blocking roads, or threatening power lines – we typically respond within hours, not days. We keep emergency equipment ready and maintain relationships with utility companies for situations involving power lines. Non-emergency work usually gets scheduled within a week, depending on the season. Storm seasons obviously create backlogs, but we prioritize based on safety risks. If your tree is actually dangerous, we’ll treat it as an emergency.
Professional tree removal minimizes lawn damage, but some impact is usually unavoidable with large trees. We use plywood to protect high-traffic areas, remove trees in sections when space is tight, and plan access routes that avoid sensitive landscaping. Any significant damage to lawns gets repaired as part of the job. The key is working with a crew that cares about your property, not just getting the tree down as quickly as possible. We clean up completely and leave your yard in better condition than most companies.
For simple removals of obviously dead trees, either might work. But for anything involving tree health assessment, pruning, disease treatment, or complex removals near structures, you want a certified arborist. Arborists understand tree biology, proper cutting techniques, and how different species respond to pruning. Bad cuts can kill healthy trees or create safety hazards years later. The cost difference is usually minimal, but the expertise gap is enormous. Don’t gamble with expensive mature trees or your property’s safety.
Late fall through early spring is generally ideal for most tree work in our area. Trees are dormant, so pruning cuts heal better and there’s less stress on the tree. It’s also easier to see the tree’s structure without leaves. However, emergency situations don’t wait for ideal timing, and some species have specific requirements. Dead trees should come down immediately regardless of season. We’ll advise you on timing based on your specific situation and the types of trees involved.
