How much does tree removal cost in East Islip?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large oak near power lines or close to your house will cost more because of the additional safety measures and equipment required. We provide detailed estimates that include everything – the removal, stump grinding if requested, and complete cleanup. No surprise charges for “debris removal” or other basics that should be included in any professional tree service.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency calls when trees come down during storms or high winds. We prioritize situations where trees are blocking driveways, threatening structures, or creating safety hazards. Emergency response typically costs more than scheduled work because of the urgency and potential after-hours timing, but we’ll give you a clear price before starting any work. We also help with insurance documentation if you need to file a claim for storm damage.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

Tree trimming usually refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance or clearance – like getting branches away from your roof or power lines. Tree pruning is more focused on tree health, removing dead or diseased branches, improving air circulation, and shaping growth patterns. Both are important, but pruning requires more knowledge of tree biology to avoid damaging the tree. We handle both types of work and will recommend what your specific trees actually need rather than just cutting everything back.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most stumps can be ground out in 30 minutes to an hour, depending on size and root system. Large stumps or multiple stumps obviously take longer. The actual grinding is usually the quick part – setup and cleanup take additional time. We grind stumps below ground level and can either leave you with the wood chips for mulch or haul them away. Some companies just cut stumps flush with the ground, but that leaves the root system intact and the stump can still sprout new growth.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance for tree service work in New York. This includes liability insurance that protects your property if something goes wrong, and workers compensation for our crew members. Tree work involves serious equipment and significant risks – chainsaws, heavy machinery, working at height near power lines. Any tree service company you hire should be properly licensed and insured. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work on your property.

What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?

Complete cleanup is included in our tree service. Branches get fed through our wood chipper, and you can keep the chips for mulch or we’ll haul them away – your choice. Larger trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths if you want to keep them, or we’ll remove everything from your property. We don’t leave piles of brush and debris sitting in your yard. The job isn’t finished until your property is clean and all the mess is gone. Some homeowners are surprised by how much debris even a medium-sized tree creates, but that’s our problem to handle, not yours.
