Tree Removal Process Glen Head

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we come out and assess your trees. We’ll show you exactly what needs to be done and why, then give you a clear, written estimate with no surprises.

When we start the work, we protect your property first. Tarps go down, equipment is positioned carefully, and we plan every cut to ensure trees come down exactly where we want them. Safety isn’t just our priority – it’s how we operate every single day.

After the trees are down, we handle everything else. Branches get chipped, logs get removed, and stumps get ground down below grade. When we’re done, your property is cleaner than when we started. No debris left behind, no damage to your lawn or landscaping.

Complete Tree Services Glen Head

Everything Your Trees Need

We handle tree removal when trees are dead, diseased, or threatening your property. Our stump grinding service eliminates those ugly stumps that make mowing impossible and create tripping hazards for your family.

Tree trimming and pruning keep your healthy trees in great shape. We remove dead branches, open up canopies for better light, and shape trees so they grow properly. It’s not just about making them look good – proper trimming prevents future problems.

Wood chipping means you don’t have piles of branches sitting around for weeks. We chip everything on-site and haul it away, or leave you with quality mulch if you want it. Emergency services mean we’re available when storms hit and you need dangerous trees dealt with immediately.

How much does tree removal cost in Glen Head?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree that’s easy to access might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near power lines or buildings can cost several thousand. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for – removal, stump grinding, cleanup, and disposal. The estimate includes everything, so you won’t get hit with surprise charges later. Most Glen Head homeowners find our pricing fair and competitive, especially when they see the level of care we take to protect their property during the work.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to storm damage throughout Glen Head and Long Island. When trees come down on houses, block driveways, or create safety hazards, we prioritize those calls. We understand that storm damage can’t wait for regular business hours. Our emergency service focuses on making your property safe first – removing trees from roofs, clearing blocked access routes, and eliminating immediate dangers. We work with insurance companies regularly and can provide the documentation they need for your claim. During major storms, we work around the clock until all emergency situations are handled.

Will you damage my lawn or landscaping during tree work?

We take extensive precautions to protect your property. Before any cutting starts, we lay down protective materials and plan our approach to minimize impact on your lawn and landscaping. Our equipment operators are experienced in working around delicate plants, sprinkler systems, and decorative features. If we do need to drive equipment across your lawn, we use plywood or mats to distribute weight and prevent ruts. We also time our work to avoid wet conditions when possible, since that’s when lawns are most vulnerable to damage. Most customers are surprised at how clean their property looks when we’re finished.

How deep do you grind stumps?

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for you to plant grass or new landscaping over the area. This depth eliminates the visual eyesore and prevents the stump from interfering with lawn maintenance. We also grind out the major surface roots that can create bumps in your lawn. After grinding, we backfill the area with the wood chips created during grinding, then add topsoil so you can seed or sod immediately. Some customers prefer to have the wood chips removed entirely – we can do that too. The goal is to leave you with a level area that matches the rest of your lawn.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming in the Glen Head area. Trees are dormant during this period, which means less stress on the tree and better healing of cuts. It’s also easier to see the tree’s structure without leaves in the way. However, dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of season since they pose safety risks. Some trees, like maples, are better trimmed in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We can advise you on the optimal timing for your specific trees based on their species, condition, and your goals for the work.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Competition Tree, Inc. is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from any liability if someone gets injured on your property during tree work, and it covers any accidental damage to your home or neighboring properties. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Many homeowners don’t realize that hiring uninsured tree services puts them at serious financial risk. If an uninsured worker gets hurt on your property, you could be liable for their medical expenses and lost wages. Our insurance gives you complete peace of mind during the work.
