Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal covers everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that require crane work. Emergency storm damage gets priority response when trees fall on homes, block driveways, or create safety hazards.

Tree trimming keeps your healthy trees in good shape – removing dead branches, opening up canopies for better light, and preventing branches from growing into power lines or over your roof. Proper pruning actually makes trees stronger and healthier long-term.

Stump grinding eliminates those ugly stumps that stick around after tree removal. We grind them down several inches below ground level and fill the hole with wood chips, so you can replant or just have a clean yard again.

How much does tree removal cost in Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near houses, power lines, or in tight spaces cost more because they require careful sectional removal. The best way to get accurate pricing is with a free estimate where we can see exactly what you’re dealing with. Factors like stump grinding, debris removal, and emergency timing also affect the final price.

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

Islip has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in certain areas. Generally, you can remove trees under 6 inches in diameter without permits, but larger trees often require approval from the town. Trees near wetlands, in historic districts, or designated as “specimen trees” have additional restrictions. We can help you understand what’s required for your specific situation and assist with permit applications if needed. It’s always better to check first rather than face fines later.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

Emergency tree removal gets priority response, typically within 24-48 hours depending on the extent of storm damage in the area. If a tree falls on your house, blocks your driveway, or creates immediate safety hazards, those situations get handled first. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but dangerous situations always take priority. For non-emergency tree removal, scheduling usually happens within a week or two. The key is calling as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your property, but some impact is unavoidable with large trees. We use protective materials to cover plants, lawns, and hardscaping where possible. Heavy equipment may leave some tire marks on soft ground, especially after rain. Most lawn damage recovers naturally within a few weeks, and any significant issues get addressed as part of the cleanup process. Discussing your concerns upfront helps us plan the best approach for your specific property layout.

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

Tree trimming and pruning are often used interchangeably, but pruning is more precise work focused on tree health – removing dead, diseased, or problematic branches to improve the tree’s structure and growth. Trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance, clearance from buildings, or size control. Both require understanding how trees respond to cuts and which branches to remove without harming the tree. Poor trimming can actually weaken trees and make them more susceptible to storm damage or disease.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Several signs indicate a tree should be removed: dead or dying branches throughout the canopy, significant lean toward structures, visible decay or hollow sections in the trunk, root damage from construction, or disease that can’t be treated effectively. Trees growing too close to your house, with branches over the roof, or interfering with power lines often need removal for safety. If you’re unsure, having a certified arborist assess the tree’s condition helps you make an informed decision. Sometimes pruning can solve the problem, but other times removal is the safest option.
