Tree Service Process Explained

Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

First, we come out and assess your trees—what needs to be done, what doesn’t, and what the safest approach looks like. You get a clear estimate with no hidden costs or surprise fees later.

On job day, we show up with professional equipment and protect your property before we start. For removals, we carefully section trees to avoid damage to your home, driveway, or landscaping. For trimming and pruning, we focus on safety and tree health, not just cutting branches randomly.

The final step is complete cleanup. We chip the branches, remove all debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You don’t have to worry about hauling wood or cleaning up sawdust—that’s all included in what you pay for.

How much does tree removal cost in Lake Success?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while large trees near houses or power lines can run $1,000-3,000 or more. The key factors are tree height, trunk diameter, how close it is to structures, and site access for our equipment. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—removal, stump grinding if needed, and complete cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.

Do you handle emergency tree removal after storms?

Yes, we provide emergency tree services when storms damage trees that threaten your property or block access. We prioritize calls where trees have fallen on homes, are leaning dangerously against structures, or are blocking driveways and roads. Emergency calls typically get same-day or next-day response, depending on the severity of the situation and weather conditions. Keep in mind that emergency services during peak storm seasons may have higher rates due to increased demand and hazardous working conditions.

What's included in your tree trimming service?

Our tree trimming includes proper pruning cuts that promote tree health, removal of dead or diseased branches, and shaping for safety and appearance. We don’t just cut branches randomly—we follow proper arboricultural practices to avoid damaging the tree. The service includes complete cleanup and chipping of all branches and debris. We can also provide guidance on which trees need regular maintenance and which ones might be better candidates for removal. All work is done with professional equipment and proper safety procedures.

How long does stump grinding take and what does it involve?

Most stump grinding jobs take 1-3 hours depending on stump size and root system complexity. We use professional stump grinders that reduce the stump to wood chips 6-8 inches below ground level—deep enough that you can plant grass or landscaping over the area. The process creates wood chips that we can either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch. We clean up the work area and can provide topsoil if you want to plant immediately. Large stumps or those with extensive root systems may take longer.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Nassau County?

Yes, Competition Tree is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance for all tree services in Nassau County and Lake Success. Our insurance covers property damage and worker injuries, which protects you from liability if something goes wrong during the job. We can provide proof of insurance before starting work if requested. This is crucial for tree work since it involves heavy equipment, climbing, and potential risks to your property. Never hire tree services that can’t prove they’re properly licensed and insured.

What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?

Complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our tree service. We chip smaller branches and remove all debris from your property unless you specifically want to keep firewood or wood chips for your own use. Larger logs can be cut into firewood lengths if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. We don’t leave piles of branches or sawdust scattered around your yard—the job isn’t finished until your property is clean. This cleanup is part of our standard service, not an additional charge.
