Professional Tree Removal Herricks

Your Property, Protected and Beautiful

You’ve got trees that need attention, and you need someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Maybe it’s that massive oak that’s gotten too close to your house, or the storm-damaged maple that’s making you nervous every time the wind picks up.

When we’re done, you’ll have peace of mind. No more worrying about branches falling on your roof or car. No more struggling to get sunlight into your yard because overgrown trees are blocking everything.

Your property will look clean, maintained, and safe. The dangerous trees will be gone completely – not just cut down and left for you to deal with. We handle the entire job, from the initial cut to grinding out the stump to cleaning up every piece of debris.

Herricks Tree Service Company

We Know Trees and We Know Herricks

Competition Tree has been handling tree work in Nassau County for years. We understand the specific challenges that come with Long Island’s mature trees and changing weather patterns.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your property. Our team knows the difference between a tree that needs removal and one that just needs proper pruning. We know which trees can handle our coastal storms and which ones are accidents waiting to happen.

We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. Most importantly, we clean up completely when we’re done – because your property should look better than when we started, not like a construction zone.

Tree Removal Process Herricks

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Trees

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. We’ll look at the tree’s health, its position relative to your house and power lines, and determine the safest way to remove it. No guesswork, no surprises.

When we show up for the job, we bring the right equipment. Professional-grade chainsaws, stump grinders, and safety gear. We section the tree down carefully, making sure nothing damages your property or landscaping.

After the tree is down, we grind the stump below ground level and clean up all the debris. Wood gets chipped, branches get hauled away, and your yard gets raked clean. You won’t find random wood chips or sawdust scattered around weeks later.

Everything You Need for Proper Tree Care

Tree removal is just one part of what we do. We also handle tree trimming and pruning to keep your healthy trees in good shape. Sometimes a tree doesn’t need to come down – it just needs proper maintenance.

Stump grinding is included with our removals, but we also grind stumps left behind by other companies. We’ll take that eyesore down to below ground level so you can plant grass or landscaping over it.

Emergency storm damage is something we deal with regularly in Herricks. When trees come down in storms, they usually need immediate attention – especially if they’re blocking driveways or threatening structures. We respond quickly and safely remove storm-damaged trees so you can get back to normal.

How much does tree removal cost in Herricks?

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 tree near power lines or structures can cost several thousand. We provide detailed estimates that include removal, stump grinding, and complete cleanup. The price you get is the price you pay – no surprise charges for “extras” like hauling away debris. Most Herricks homeowners find our pricing fair and transparent, especially when they see how thorough our cleanup is compared to other companies.

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

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to remove trees on your own property in Herricks, but there are exceptions. If the tree is very large, considered significant to the community, or if you’re in a protected area, you might need approval. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if permits are required. For emergency situations like storm damage, permits usually aren’t needed. We’ll let you know during our initial assessment if we see any potential permit issues, and we can help guide you through the process if needed.

How long does it take to remove a tree and grind the stump?

Most tree removals take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the size and complexity. A straightforward removal of a medium-sized tree usually takes 2-4 hours including stump grinding and cleanup. Larger trees or those in tight spaces near structures can take longer. We don’t rush the job – safety comes first, and we’d rather take the time to do it right than risk damage to your property. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate, and we’ll let you know if weather or other factors might affect the schedule.

What happens to all the wood and debris after tree removal?

We handle all cleanup as part of our service. Smaller branches and debris get run through our wood chipper, and we haul away all the chips unless you specifically want them for landscaping. Larger wood pieces can be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. We rake and clean the area so your property looks neat when we’re done. You won’t find random wood chips, sawdust, or branches scattered around your yard weeks later. Complete cleanup is included in our pricing – it’s not an extra charge.

Can you remove trees that are close to power lines?

We can handle trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. If branches are actually touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safety. We never cut trees that are in direct contact with live wires – that’s extremely dangerous and should only be handled by utility professionals. For trees that are near but not touching power lines, we use specialized techniques and equipment to safely remove them without causing power outages or safety hazards. We’ll assess the situation during our estimate and explain exactly how we’ll handle it safely.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services in Herricks?

Yes, we provide emergency tree removal services, especially after storms when trees come down unexpectedly. We understand that when a tree falls across your driveway or damages your roof, you need immediate help. We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond the same day or next day, depending on the situation and weather conditions. Emergency work does cost more than scheduled removals because it often involves working in difficult conditions and outside normal hours. We’ll give you upfront pricing for emergency work and focus on making your property safe first, then handling the complete cleanup once the immediate danger is addressed.
