Hillside Manor Tree Care Experts

We Know Long Island Trees

Competition Tree, Inc. has been handling tree removal and care throughout Long Island for years. We understand how the salt air affects your oaks and maples, and we know which trees typically cause problems during nor’easters.

Our crew is licensed and insured because tree work is serious business. When a 60-foot oak is leaning toward your house, you want professionals with the right equipment and experience handling the job.

We’re local to the area, so we’re familiar with Hillside Manor’s tree ordinances and the mature landscaping that makes this neighborhood special. We’re not here to clear-cut your property—we’re here to keep it safe and beautiful.

Tree Removal Process Hillside Manor

Straightforward Process, No Surprises

First, we assess your trees and explain exactly what needs to happen. You’ll know which trees are dangerous, which ones can be saved with trimming, and what the entire job will cost before we start.

We show up with professional equipment that can handle large trees without tearing up your lawn or damaging your driveway. Our crew sections down trees carefully, especially in tight spaces between houses.

The cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We remove all debris, grind stumps below ground level, and leave your property clean. You won’t find wood chips in your flower beds or sawdust on your car three weeks later.

Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles the dangerous ones—dead trees, storm-damaged trees, or healthy trees that are just too close to your house. We can remove trees of any size, even in tight spaces where most companies won’t work.

Tree trimming and pruning keep your healthy trees in good shape. We remove dead branches, thin out overgrown canopies, and shape trees so they’re less likely to lose major limbs during storms. This is especially important for the mature trees common in Hillside Manor.

Stump grinding eliminates the leftover stumps that become tripping hazards and prevent you from replanting. We grind them well below ground level so you can plant grass or new landscaping right over the area.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Dead or dying trees are obvious candidates—if more than 50% of the tree is dead, it needs to go. Look for trees leaning more than 15 degrees, especially if the lean developed recently. Trees with major trunk damage, large cavities, or root problems near the base are also dangerous. If branches keep falling from a tree, even small ones, that’s usually a sign of internal decay. When in doubt, have a certified arborist take a look. We can assess your trees and tell you which ones are actually dangerous versus which ones just look scary but are structurally sound.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or driveway?

Professional tree removal shouldn’t damage your property when done correctly. We use equipment mats to protect driveways and lawns from heavy machinery. For trees in tight spaces, we section them down piece by piece rather than dropping entire trees. Our crew plans the removal process to avoid damage to fences, other plants, and structures. If there’s any unavoidable minor damage to grass from equipment access, we’ll discuss it upfront and help with restoration. The key is using the right equipment and techniques for each specific situation rather than taking shortcuts.

How much does tree removal cost in Hillside Manor?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800. Medium trees 30-60 feet run $800-1,500. Large trees over 60 feet or trees in difficult locations can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Emergency removals cost more than scheduled work. Stump grinding is usually $100-300 per stump depending on size. We provide detailed written estimates that include all costs—removal, cleanup, and disposal. No surprise charges after the work is done. The estimate is good for 30 days, so you have time to think it over.

Can you remove trees close to power lines?

Trees touching or very close to power lines require coordination with your utility company. We can handle trees near power lines, but the utility company may need to temporarily shut off power or remove their lines first. Never attempt to remove trees touching power lines yourself—it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. We’ll contact PSEG Long Island or your utility provider to coordinate the work safely. For trees just growing toward power lines but not touching them yet, we can often trim them back to prevent future contact. Emergency situations with trees on power lines should be reported to your utility company immediately.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we provide emergency tree removal for dangerous situations like storm damage, trees blocking roads, or trees that have fallen on structures. Emergency calls get priority response, usually within a few hours during business hours. After major storms, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we work as quickly as possible to address safety hazards first. Emergency services do cost more than scheduled removals due to the urgent nature and potential after-hours work. We focus on making the situation safe first, then can return later for complete cleanup and stump removal if needed.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We handle all debris removal as part of our service. Branches and smaller wood get chipped and removed from your property. Larger trunk sections can be cut into firewood lengths and left for you if you want them, or we can remove everything. Some homeowners like to keep oak or maple for firewood, while others prefer complete removal. We can also arrange for logs to be milled into lumber if you have a particularly nice tree, though this requires advance planning. All debris goes to licensed disposal facilities or recycling centers. You won’t have piles of wood sitting in your yard for weeks waiting for municipal pickup.
