Your property stays safe. That’s what matters most when you’re dealing with problem trees, storm damage, or routine maintenance that’s been put off too long.

You get complete removal without damage to your lawn, driveway, or neighboring plants. Every branch comes down controlled. Every stump gets ground below grade so you can plant, build, or just have a clean yard again.

The cleanup happens too. All debris, wood chips, and mess get hauled away. You’re not left with piles of branches or sawdust scattered across your property. When our crew leaves, your yard looks better than when we arrived.

Tree Removal Process Amityville

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, you get a free estimate. We come out, evaluate the trees, and give you a clear price for the work. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.

When our crew arrives, we set up protection for your property. Tarps go down to protect landscaping. Equipment gets positioned to avoid damage to driveways, fences, or other plants.

The actual removal happens in sections. Large trees come down piece by piece, never in one dangerous drop. Each cut is planned to control where branches fall. Stumps get ground down to 6-8 inches below grade so grass can grow over them or you can replant.

Everything gets cleaned up the same day. Wood chips can stay if you want them for mulch, or they get hauled away with all other debris. Your property is left clean and ready to use.

Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles the dangerous, diseased, or unwanted trees on your property. Storm-damaged trees get removed safely before they cause more problems. Overgrown trees that block views or threaten structures come down without damaging anything else.

Stump grinding eliminates those unsightly stumps that make mowing difficult and attract insects. The grinding goes deep enough that you can plant new grass or install landscaping right over the area.

Tree trimming and pruning keep healthy trees looking good and growing strong. Dead branches get removed before they fall. Overgrown areas get shaped to improve the tree’s health and your property’s appearance. The work follows proper arborist practices that promote long-term tree health rather than just quick cosmetic fixes.

How much does tree removal cost in Amityville?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800 to remove. Medium trees 30-60 feet run $800-1,500. Large trees over 60 feet or those near structures can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Factors like proximity to power lines, buildings, or tight access areas increase the price because they require more careful work and specialized equipment. Every estimate includes stump grinding and complete cleanup, so you know the total cost upfront.

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

Amityville requires permits for removing certain trees, especially those over 6 inches in diameter or designated as significant trees. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and costs around $50-100 depending on the tree size and species. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees often qualify for expedited permits. We can help you determine if a permit is needed and guide you through the application process. We’ve worked with the town’s requirements for years and know how to get approvals quickly when needed.

When is the best time of year for tree removal?

Tree removal can happen year-round, but late fall through early spring is often ideal for non-emergency work. Trees are dormant, so there’s less stress on surrounding plants and easier access through bare branches. Winter removal is also less expensive because it’s the slower season for tree companies. However, dangerous or storm-damaged trees should be removed immediately regardless of season. Emergency situations don’t wait for convenient timing, and leaving hazardous trees increases the risk of property damage or injury.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscaping damage through careful planning and protective measures. We use plywood, tarps, and mats to protect grass and garden areas from heavy equipment. Tree sections are lowered with ropes rather than dropped, preventing ground damage from impact. Some minor lawn disturbance is unavoidable with large trees, especially if equipment needs to access tight spaces. However, any damaged areas are typically small and grass grows back quickly. The alternative – letting a dangerous tree fall naturally – causes far more extensive damage.

How long does stump grinding take after tree removal?

Stump grinding usually happens the same day as tree removal or within a few days depending on scheduling and equipment availability. Small stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind completely. Large stumps from mature trees can take 2-3 hours, especially if there are extensive root systems. The grinding goes 6-8 inches below ground level to prevent regrowth and allow for replanting or grass installation. All wood chips and debris get cleaned up afterward, leaving the area ready for whatever you want to do with the space.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Amityville?

Yes, Competition Tree, Inc. maintains all required licenses for tree service work in Amityville and throughout Long Island. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect both crew members and property owners. All insurance certificates are current and available for review before work begins. This coverage is essential for tree work because of the inherent risks involved with heavy equipment, climbing, and large falling objects. Never hire a tree service company that can’t provide proof of proper licensing and insurance coverage.
