How much does tree removal cost in Garden City Park?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200-3,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional care and equipment required. Emergency storm damage removal often carries premium pricing due to the urgent nature and hazardous conditions. We provide written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.

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

Garden City Park and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you don’t need permits for dead, diseased, or dangerous trees, but healthy trees over certain sizes may require approval. Trees near wetlands or in conservation areas often have additional restrictions. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if permits are needed. If permits are required, we can guide you through the application process or recommend the appropriate municipal contacts to ensure your tree removal is compliant.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

We can safely remove trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe disconnection if necessary. We have specialized equipment and training for working around electrical hazards. However, if branches are actively touching live wires, you should contact PSEG first, as they may need to address the immediate hazard. We never attempt to remove branches from live power lines without proper utility coordination, as this creates serious safety risks for both our crew and your neighborhood.

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

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences in approach and timing. Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance, clearance from buildings, or basic maintenance. Tree pruning is more precise, focusing on tree health by removing dead, diseased, or poorly positioned branches to improve the tree’s structure and growth. Pruning is usually done during dormant seasons, while trimming can happen throughout the growing season. Both services improve your tree’s appearance and safety, but pruning requires more knowledge of tree biology and proper cutting techniques to avoid damaging the tree’s long-term health.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

For true emergencies like trees blocking driveways, threatening structures, or creating safety hazards, we typically respond the same day or within 24 hours. Storm damage situations get priority scheduling, especially when trees are blocking access or posing immediate dangers. Non-emergency tree removal is usually scheduled within a few days to a week, depending on our current workload and weather conditions. During major storm events, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we prioritize the most dangerous situations first. We recommend calling as soon as you notice a tree problem rather than waiting, as conditions can deteriorate quickly.

Do you include stump removal in your tree removal service?

Stump grinding is typically a separate service from tree removal, though we can bundle them together for convenience and cost savings. Tree removal includes cutting the tree down to ground level, but the stump and root system remain. Stump grinding removes the visible stump and major surface roots, leaving wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed entirely. Some customers prefer to keep stumps for decorative purposes or due to budget considerations, which is why we price these services separately. However, we recommend stump grinding for most situations since stumps create lawn maintenance issues and can attract insects over time.
