Professional Tree Removal Services

Your Property, Protected and Enhanced

When trees become hazards instead of assets, you need decisive action. That dead oak leaning toward your house isn’t getting safer with time. The storm-damaged maple blocking your driveway won’t move itself.

You get your property back to normal, fast. No more worrying about branches falling on your roof during the next windstorm. No more explaining to neighbors why that massive stump is still sitting in your front yard six months later.

Your trees either contribute to your property’s value and beauty, or they become expensive problems. We make sure it’s the former. Clean removal, complete stump grinding, and total debris cleanup mean you can actually use your yard again instead of navigating around tree-related obstacles.

Nassau County Tree Experts

Local Arborists Who Know Trees

Competition Tree, Inc. has been handling Nassau County’s tree challenges for years. We know which species thrive here, which ones become problems, and how to work around the utility lines and tight spaces that make Long Island tree work tricky.

Our certified arborists understand local regulations and permit requirements. We carry full insurance because tree work is inherently risky, and we use professional-grade equipment because your property deserves better than weekend warriors with chainsaws.

When storm season hits Malverne Park Oaks, we’re the crew property owners call. Not because we’re the cheapest, but because we show up, assess the situation properly, and get the job done right the first time.

Tree Service Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with an honest assessment of your situation. Our arborist examines the tree, identifies potential hazards, and explains exactly what needs to happen. No surprises, no upselling services you don’t need.

The actual work depends on your specific situation. Tree removal means cutting from the top down in sections, protecting your landscaping and structures. Stump grinding goes below ground level so you can plant grass or install new landscaping. Tree trimming focuses on removing dead wood and improving the tree’s health and appearance.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We chip the branches, remove the logs, and rake up the debris. When we’re done, your property looks better than when we started, minus the problem tree that was keeping you up at night.

Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal covers everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that require crane work. We handle the permits, notify utilities when necessary, and coordinate with your insurance company for storm damage claims.

Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and safety hazard left behind. We grind below ground level and backfill with soil, so you’re not left with a hole in your yard. Tree trimming and pruning improve both safety and appearance, removing dead branches before they fall and opening up canopies for better light and air circulation.

Wood chipping turns your tree waste into useful mulch for your landscaping. Emergency services mean we respond quickly when storms knock trees onto houses, cars, or power lines. In Nassau County, you can’t afford to wait days for tree emergencies to be addressed.

How much does tree removal cost in Malverne Park Oaks?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while a large tree near power lines or structures can run $1,500-3,000 or more. We factor in the tree’s height, trunk diameter, proximity to structures, and disposal requirements. Emergency removals after storms typically cost more due to increased risk and urgency. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, including stump grinding and cleanup, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

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

Nassau County and local municipalities have specific tree removal regulations, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you need permits for trees over certain diameters or in environmentally sensitive zones. Dead or hazardous trees often have expedited permit processes. We handle the permit applications and know which situations require approvals versus those that don’t. Removing trees without proper permits can result in significant fines, so it’s worth getting this right from the start.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most residential stump grinding takes 1-3 hours depending on the stump’s size and root system. Small stumps under 12 inches might take 30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take several hours. We grind 6-8 inches below ground level to ensure grass can grow over the area. The process creates wood chips that we can remove or leave as mulch for your landscaping. Access to the stump affects timing – stumps in tight spaces or behind fences take longer than those in open areas.

When is the best time to trim trees?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area, when trees are dormant and less stressed by pruning. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Different species have specific timing preferences – oaks should avoid spring pruning due to disease risk, while fruit trees benefit from late winter trimming. We assess each tree’s health, species, and your specific goals to recommend optimal timing. Emergency trimming after storms happens when necessary, regardless of season.

Are you insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage specifically for tree work. This protects your property if equipment damages your house, car, or landscaping during the job. We also protect you from liability if a worker is injured on your property. Many homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover damage caused by uninsured contractors, which can leave you financially responsible for accidents. We provide proof of insurance before starting any work and ensure our coverage meets or exceeds local requirements.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We typically chip smaller branches into mulch and cut larger logs into manageable pieces. You can keep the firewood if you want it, or we’ll remove everything as part of our cleanup service. Some customers prefer to keep the mulch for their landscaping projects. Larger logs from valuable species like oak or cherry sometimes go to local sawmills rather than waste facilities. We handle all disposal according to Nassau County regulations and can coordinate with your waste management company if needed for larger jobs.
