How much does tree removal cost in Baldwin Harbor?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. The price includes safe removal, stump grinding if requested, and complete cleanup. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Factors that affect pricing include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings or power lines, and site access for our equipment.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations throughout Baldwin Harbor and Nassau County. When storms damage trees or create dangerous conditions, we prioritize safety-critical situations like trees on houses, blocking driveways, or threatening power lines. We typically respond within hours during business days and as quickly as possible during major storm events. Emergency services may include temporary stabilization, dangerous limb removal, or complete tree removal depending on the situation. We work directly with insurance companies when storm damage is covered by your homeowner’s policy.

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

Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance, clearance, or safety – like keeping branches away from your house or power lines. Tree pruning is more focused on the tree’s health, removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to promote proper growth and prevent problems. Both services are important for Baldwin Harbor properties. Trimming keeps your trees looking neat and prevents damage to structures, while pruning helps trees stay healthy and strong against storms. We assess each tree individually to determine what type of cutting will best serve your property’s needs.

How long does stump grinding take and what's left behind?

Most residential stump grinding jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size and root system complexity. We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for grass seed or new plantings. What’s left is wood chips and sawdust that can be used as mulch or removed completely – your choice. The area will need topsoil and seed if you want grass, or you can plant directly in the remaining wood chips for most shrubs and flowers. Large stumps from mature trees produce significant amounts of chips, which many homeowners use for landscaping mulch around their Baldwin Harbor properties.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Nassau County?

Yes, Competition Tree is fully licensed and insured to perform tree services throughout Nassau County including Baldwin Harbor. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers compensation coverage that protects both our crew and your property during tree work. Our licensing ensures we meet all local requirements for tree care services, and our insurance coverage gives you protection if anything unexpected happens during the job. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work, and we recommend never hiring tree services that can’t provide current insurance documentation.

What time of year is best for tree trimming and pruning?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree pruning in the Baldwin Harbor area, when trees are dormant and won’t lose energy from cutting. However, timing depends on tree species and the reason for pruning. Dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm damage needs prompt attention to prevent further problems. Some trees like maples should be pruned in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We can advise you on the best timing for your specific trees and situation, balancing tree health with your property’s safety and appearance needs.
