Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles the dangerous, diseased, or unwanted trees on your property. We remove everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks, safely and completely.

Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and tripping hazard left behind. We grind stumps below ground level so you can plant grass, install landscaping, or just have a clean, usable yard again.

Tree trimming and pruning keeps your healthy trees in good shape. Proper pruning removes dead branches, improves tree structure, and prevents future problems. We understand which branches to cut and when to cut them for optimal tree health.

How much does tree removal cost in Kensington?

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 $1,500-3,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional safety measures required. We provide detailed estimates that include removal, stump grinding, and complete cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Kensington?

Kensington follows Nassau County tree removal regulations, which typically require permits for removing healthy trees over a certain size, especially those considered significant or heritage trees. Dead, diseased, or dangerous trees usually don’t require permits, but emergency situations may need documentation. We help you understand the local requirements and can assist with permit applications when necessary. It’s always better to check before cutting rather than face potential fines later.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

For true emergencies – trees on houses, blocking roads, or creating immediate safety hazards – we typically respond within hours during business hours and as quickly as possible after hours. Storm situations may create higher demand, but we prioritize safety emergencies first. Non-emergency situations like routine removals or maintenance are usually scheduled within a week or two, depending on the season and our current workload.

What's included in your tree service pricing?

Our pricing includes the complete job: safe tree removal or trimming, stump grinding to below ground level, and full cleanup of all debris. We haul away branches, logs, and wood chips unless you specifically want to keep firewood. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay – no surprise fees for cleanup, disposal, or “extra” services that should be standard. We also carry full insurance coverage, so you’re protected if anything unexpected happens during the work.

Can you save my tree or does it need to be removed?

Many trees that look problematic can actually be saved with proper pruning, disease treatment, or structural support. We assess each tree’s health, structural integrity, and location before recommending removal. Dead, severely diseased, or structurally compromised trees typically need removal for safety reasons. Trees with minor issues, pest problems, or overgrowth can often be restored to health. We’ll give you an honest assessment and explain your options so you can make the best decision for your property.

Do you clean up completely after tree work?

Complete cleanup is included in every job. We remove all branches, logs, wood chips, and debris from your property unless you want to keep firewood or mulch. We also rake and clear the work area, so your yard is ready to use immediately. Many homeowners are surprised by how clean we leave things – no scattered wood chips in flower beds, no forgotten branches behind sheds. Professional tree work includes professional cleanup, and that’s exactly what you get.
