Your Property Protected, Your Worries Gone

You know that feeling when you look at a tree and wonder if it’s going to come down in the next storm. Maybe it’s leaning toward your house, or the branches are scraping your roof every time the wind picks up. You’ve been putting off dealing with it because tree work feels overwhelming and expensive.

Here’s what changes when you get it handled properly. You stop worrying every time the weather forecast mentions wind. Your property looks clean and well-maintained instead of overgrown. Your neighbors aren’t giving you looks about branches hanging over their yard.

The tree that was keeping you up at night is either gone completely or trimmed back to where it should be. Your driveway is clear, your power lines are safe, and you can actually enjoy your yard again instead of stressing about what might fall.

Everything Your Trees Need, Done Right

Tree removal is the big one – when a tree is dead, diseased, or positioned where it’s going to cause problems. We handle everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that require crane work. Emergency removal when storms bring trees down on houses or block roads.

Tree trimming and pruning keeps healthy trees from becoming problems. Removing dead branches that could fall, trimming back growth that’s too close to power lines or buildings, shaping trees so they grow properly instead of becoming hazards.

Stump grinding gets rid of what’s left after removal. Nobody wants a stump in their yard – it’s ugly, it’s a tripping hazard, and it takes up space you could use for something better. We grind it down below ground level so you can plant grass or whatever else you want there.

How much does tree removal cost in Babylon, NY?

Tree removal costs depend on the size of the tree, how close it is to buildings or power lines, and how difficult it is to access. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, medium trees 30-60 feet cost $800-1500, and large trees over 60 feet can range from $1500-3000 or more. Trees that require crane work or are in tight spaces cost more because of the specialized equipment and extra time needed. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so you know what to expect before we start.

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

Babylon has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain areas. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, but dead or hazardous trees can usually be removed without permits. Trees near wetlands or in protected areas have additional restrictions. We know the local requirements and can help you determine if permits are needed for your specific situation. It’s always better to check first rather than deal with fines or having to replant later.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous and needs removal?

Look for obvious signs like dead branches, cracks in the trunk, or the tree leaning significantly toward buildings or power lines. Fungus growing at the base often indicates root rot, which makes trees unstable. If more than 50% of the tree is dead or diseased, removal is usually the safest option. Trees that have been damaged by storms, even if they’re still standing, may have structural damage that makes them hazardous. When in doubt, have a certified arborist evaluate the tree – it’s better to address problems before they become emergencies.

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

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. Pruning is more precise – removing specific branches to improve tree health, shape, or growth patterns. It’s typically done on younger trees or for maintenance. Trimming usually refers to cutting back overgrown branches for safety or clearance, like getting branches away from power lines or buildings. Both require understanding how trees respond to cuts and which branches to remove without harming the tree’s health or structure.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals take 2-8 hours depending on the size and complexity. Small trees might be done in a couple hours, while large trees near buildings can take a full day. Trees that require crane work or are in difficult locations take longer because everything has to be done more carefully. Weather can affect timing – we won’t work in high winds or storms for safety reasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate, and we always include complete cleanup time in our schedule.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take precautions to minimize damage, but some impact is unavoidable when removing large trees. We use plywood to protect lawns where equipment needs to travel, and we’re careful about where debris falls. Small ruts from equipment can usually be repaired easily, and we’ll rake and clean areas where we’ve worked. The alternative – letting a dangerous tree fall on its own – typically causes much more damage to landscaping, not to mention buildings. Most lawn damage from professional tree removal is minor and recovers quickly.
