Everything Your Trees Need

Our tree removal service handles everything from small ornamental trees to large oaks that have outgrown their space. We use proper rigging techniques to bring down trees in sections when space is tight, so your neighbor’s fence stays intact.

Tree trimming and pruning keep your healthy trees in good shape. We remove dead branches, thin overcrowded areas, and shape trees to improve their health and appearance. Proper pruning also reduces wind resistance, which means less chance of storm damage.

Stump grinding eliminates those trip hazards and gives you back usable yard space. We grind stumps below ground level and clean up the wood chips. Wood chipping service handles brush and branches, turning debris into useful mulch or hauling it away completely – your choice.

How much does tree removal cost in Central Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near your house or power lines requires more specialized work and costs more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The estimate includes removal, cleanup, and disposal – no surprise charges after we’re done.

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

Most tree removals on private property in Central Islip don’t require permits, but there are exceptions for certain protected species or trees in designated areas. We’re familiar with local regulations and will let you know if permits are needed for your specific situation. If permits are required, we can help guide you through the process. It’s always better to check beforehand than deal with potential fines later.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

For emergency situations where a tree is threatening your home or blocking access, we prioritize those calls and typically respond within 24 hours. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we triage based on safety concerns. If a tree has already fallen on your house or is clearly about to fall, that gets immediate attention. For storm cleanup that’s not an immediate safety threat, we usually schedule within a few days.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to your property, but some impact is unavoidable when bringing down large trees. We use protective measures like plywood over delicate areas and plan our approach to avoid your landscaping whenever possible. Any minor lawn damage from equipment typically recovers quickly, especially if we’re working during growing season. We’ll discuss potential impacts during your estimate so you know what to expect.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

The terms 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 is more about appearance and size control, like reducing height or clearing branches away from your house. Both require understanding how trees respond to cuts. Poor cutting techniques can damage trees permanently, which is why proper training and experience matter.

Do you clean up all the debris after tree work?

Complete cleanup is included in our service. We remove all branches, logs, and debris from your property. Wood chips from grinding can be left for you to use as mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul them away – your choice. We don’t leave your property looking like a disaster zone. Part of professional tree service is leaving your yard clean and ready to use, not creating more work for you.
