What You Get When It's Done Right

Your trees work with your property instead of against it. Healthy trees that frame your home beautifully while staying clear of power lines, rooflines, and walkways.

No more worrying about that leaning oak during the next nor’easter. No more branches scraping your roof at 2 AM or blocking your waterfront views.

You get a property that looks intentional and well-maintained. Trees that add value instead of creating liability. And when storms hit Long Island, you sleep better knowing your trees were properly maintained by professionals who understand how coastal weather affects mature growth.

Cove Neck Tree Specialists

We Know Long Island Trees

Competition Tree has been handling tree service throughout Cove Neck and the North Shore for years. We understand how salt air, coastal storms, and Long Island soil affect tree health and growth patterns.

Every property is different. Your mature maples and oaks need different care than newly planted landscaping. We’ve worked on waterfront estates and inland properties, handling everything from routine maintenance to emergency storm cleanup.

We’re licensed, insured, and equipped to handle jobs of any size without damaging your landscaping or neighboring properties.

Tree Service Process

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

We start with a property assessment to identify problem areas, healthy trees that need maintenance, and potential safety concerns. You’ll know exactly what needs attention and why.

For tree removal, we use professional rigging and cutting techniques to bring down trees in sections, protecting your property and landscaping. Stump grinding follows, taking stumps below ground level so you can replant or restore the area.

Tree trimming and pruning happen on a schedule that works for your trees and your property goals. We clean up completely – no branches, sawdust, or debris left behind. Your property looks better than when we arrived.

Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles dangerous, diseased, or unwanted trees safely. We work around power lines, structures, and valuable landscaping without damage.

Stump grinding eliminates unsightly stumps and root systems that attract insects or interfere with lawn care. We grind below grade and backfill with clean soil.

Tree trimming and pruning keeps healthy trees looking their best while removing dead wood, crossing branches, and growth that threatens structures. Professional wood chipping turns debris into useful mulch or handles complete removal – your choice.

Emergency services respond quickly when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards around your Cove Neck property.

How much does tree removal cost in Cove Neck?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. A small ornamental tree might cost $300-600, while large mature trees near structures can range from $1,500-4,000. Factors include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings or power lines, and site access. Emergency removals after storms typically cost more due to increased hazard and urgency. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs including removal, stump grinding, and cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you handle emergency tree service during storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations throughout Cove Neck and Long Island. When trees fall on homes, block driveways, or create safety hazards, we prioritize these calls. Storm damage often means working around power lines and unstable trees, which requires specialized equipment and experience. We’re equipped to handle emergency removals safely, even in challenging conditions. During major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we triage based on safety concerns and work systematically through our service area.

Will tree removal damage my landscaping or property?

Professional tree removal protects your property and landscaping. We use rigging techniques to lower tree sections in a controlled manner rather than letting them fall freely. Ground protection boards distribute equipment weight to prevent lawn damage. We plan removal routes that avoid flower beds, irrigation systems, and valuable plants. Our crews are trained to work in tight spaces around pools, patios, and structures. While some minor lawn repair might be needed where equipment travels, we minimize impact and restore disturbed areas. The key is proper planning and professional execution.

When is the best time for tree trimming and pruning?

Most tree trimming happens during dormant season – late fall through early spring – when trees aren’t actively growing. This timing reduces stress on trees and minimizes sap loss. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm-damaged trees need prompt attention to prevent further problems. Some species have specific timing requirements – oaks shouldn’t be pruned during active beetle season, and maples are best pruned in late summer to avoid heavy sap bleeding. We schedule pruning based on tree species, health, and your property’s specific needs.

How deep do you grind stumps?

We typically grind stumps 8-12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for most landscaping and lawn restoration projects. This depth eliminates the visible stump and major root flare that interferes with mowing or planting. For areas where you plan to plant new trees, we can grind deeper to ensure adequate soil depth. The grinding process also breaks up surface roots in the immediate area. We backfill the area with clean soil and can provide grass seed if you’re restoring lawn. Some large root systems may require additional work depending on your future plans for the area.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Competition Tree carries full licensing and insurance required for professional tree service in New York. This includes general liability insurance that protects your property during our work, and workers compensation coverage for our crew members. Tree work involves significant risks – heavy equipment, elevated work, and potential property damage – so proper insurance coverage is essential. We can provide certificates of insurance for your records or homeowners association requirements. Never hire uninsured tree services, as you could be liable for injuries or property damage that occurs during the work.
