Professional Tree Removal Holtsville

Your Property Protected, Your Worries Gone

You know that feeling when you look at a tree and wonder if it’s going to come down in the next storm. That branch hanging over your roof, the dead tree leaning toward your neighbor’s fence, the overgrown mess blocking your view. You shouldn’t have to live with that stress.

When we’re done, you’ll walk outside and actually feel relief instead of worry. Your property will be safer, cleaner, and more valuable. The trees that stay will be healthier and properly maintained. The ones that needed to go will be completely gone – no stumps, no debris, no evidence they were ever a problem.

That’s what professional tree service actually delivers. Not just cutting and leaving, but real solutions that let you enjoy your property without constantly looking up and wondering what’s going to fall next.

Holtsville Tree Service Company

We Know Trees and We Know Long Island

Competition Tree has been handling tree problems across Long Island for years. We understand how coastal storms affect trees here, which species thrive in our soil, and what homeowners in Holtsville actually need from a tree service.

We’re fully licensed and insured because tree work is serious business. When a 50-foot oak is coming down near your house, you want professionals with the right equipment and experience, not someone with a chainsaw and good intentions.

We show up when we say we will, do exactly what we quoted, and clean up completely when we’re done. That shouldn’t be remarkable, but apparently it is in this industry.

Tree Removal Process Holtsville

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. We’ll identify which trees or branches are actually dangerous, which ones just need trimming, and which ones are fine as-is. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why.

Then we schedule the work at a time that works for you. We show up with professional equipment and the crew needed to handle your specific job safely. For tree removal, we carefully section trees to avoid damage to your property. For trimming and pruning, we shape trees to promote healthy growth while removing problem areas.

The last step is complete cleanup. We chip branches, remove all debris, and grind stumps if needed. When we leave, your property will be cleaner than when we arrived, with your tree problems actually solved.

Complete Tree Care Services

Everything Your Trees Need, Nothing You Don't

Our tree service includes removal of dangerous or unwanted trees, professional trimming and pruning for tree health, stump grinding to eliminate trip hazards, and wood chipping for complete debris cleanup. We handle emergency storm damage when trees come down unexpectedly.

We also provide honest assessments. If your tree doesn’t need to come down, we’ll tell you. If it just needs proper pruning instead of removal, that’s what we’ll recommend. You’re not paying for unnecessary work, and you’re not living with unnecessary risks.

Every job includes complete cleanup and debris removal. We’re not leaving you with a pile of branches to deal with or wood chips scattered across your driveway. The job isn’t finished until your property is clean and your tree issues are resolved.

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

Look for obvious signs like dead branches, cracks in the trunk, or trees leaning significantly toward structures. But honestly, unless you’re trained in tree assessment, it’s hard to tell the difference between a tree that needs removal and one that just needs professional pruning. We provide free assessments because we’d rather give you an honest evaluation upfront than have you guess wrong. Dead or diseased trees are usually obvious removal candidates, while healthy trees with problematic branches often just need strategic trimming. Trees growing too close to power lines or structures might need removal depending on the species and growth pattern.

What's included in your tree removal service?

Complete tree removal means we cut down the tree safely, section it to avoid property damage, chip all branches, remove all wood and debris, and grind the stump below ground level. You’re not left with cleanup work or a stump to trip over. We also include site cleanup – your property will be cleaner when we leave than when we arrived. If you want to keep firewood, we can cut logs to your preferred length instead of chipping everything. The goal is to completely eliminate your tree problem, not just cut it down and leave you with the mess.

How much does tree removal cost in Holtsville?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. A small tree away from structures might run $300-600, while large trees near houses or power lines can cost $1,500-3,000 or more. Multiple factors affect pricing: tree height and diameter, proximity to structures, access for equipment, and whether additional services like stump grinding are needed. We provide written estimates after seeing the actual job because accurate pricing requires evaluating the specific situation. Emergency storm damage work typically costs more due to urgency and additional safety requirements.

Can you handle emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to storm damage emergencies when trees fall on houses, block driveways, or create immediate safety hazards. Emergency work focuses on making the situation safe and accessible – removing trees from roofs, clearing blocked roads, and eliminating immediate dangers. We prioritize jobs based on safety risk, so situations involving structural damage or blocked emergency access get handled first. Keep in mind that emergency work costs more than scheduled service due to the urgency and often more dangerous working conditions. If possible, document damage with photos for insurance purposes before we begin work.

Do you trim trees or just remove them?

We provide complete tree care including professional trimming and pruning. Proper tree trimming removes dead or dangerous branches, shapes trees for healthy growth, and clears branches away from roofs and power lines. Many trees that homeowners think need removal actually just need expert pruning. We trim trees to promote health and safety while maintaining their natural shape and value to your property. Timing matters for tree trimming – different species have optimal pruning seasons, and we schedule work accordingly to avoid stressing trees or promoting disease.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance including general liability and workers compensation coverage. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property during tree work, and it protects us if equipment causes unexpected damage. Tree work is inherently dangerous – chainsaws, heavy equipment, and large falling objects create serious risks that require professional insurance coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before beginning work. Never hire uninsured tree services, as you could be liable for injuries or property damage that occurs during the job.
