How much does tree removal cost in Great Neck Plaza?

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. Trees near power lines, structures, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety measures required. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency storm damage removal may have different pricing due to urgency and accessibility challenges.

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

Great Neck Plaza has specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger or heritage trees. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over a certain diameter, typically 6-8 inches. Dead, diseased, or hazardous trees usually don’t require permits, but documentation of the tree’s condition may be needed. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you determine if permits are necessary. We’ll also assist with the permit application process if required, ensuring all paperwork is properly completed and submitted.

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

Tree trimming typically refers to maintaining a tree’s shape and removing overgrown branches for aesthetic purposes. It’s usually done on younger trees and focuses on appearance and basic maintenance. Tree pruning is more precise and focuses on the tree’s health, removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to promote proper growth. Pruning also involves strategic cuts to improve tree structure and prevent future problems. Both services are important, but pruning requires more expertise to avoid damaging the tree. We assess each tree individually to determine what type of cutting will benefit it most.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

For true emergencies where trees are blocking roads, threatening structures, or creating immediate safety hazards, we typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours. Storm-related emergencies may take longer due to high demand and safety considerations – we can’t work during active severe weather. We prioritize calls based on safety risk, with situations involving power lines, blocked access routes, or structural damage getting immediate attention. Non-emergency situations are usually scheduled within 3-5 business days. Having our contact information saved before you need it ensures the fastest possible response when emergencies occur.

Will you clean up all the debris after tree removal?

Complete debris cleanup is included in all our tree services. We remove all branches, logs, leaves, and wood chips from your property unless you specifically want to keep materials for firewood or mulch. Our cleanup includes raking the area and removing any debris that may have scattered during the work. We bring our own trucks and equipment to haul everything away, so you don’t need to worry about disposal. The only thing we typically leave behind is sawdust from stump grinding, which naturally decomposes and can actually benefit your soil.

Is your company licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Competition Tree, Inc. is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Our insurance protects your property and covers any unlikely accidents during the work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job, and many homeowners’ insurance companies actually require this documentation. Being properly licensed means we meet all state and local requirements for tree service work. This protects you from liability if someone gets hurt on your property and ensures the work meets professional standards. Never hire uninsured tree services – the risk to your property and finances isn’t worth any potential savings.
