Tree Trimming Stump Grinding Services

Complete Tree Care Services

Tree removal handles the dangerous, dead, or unwanted trees threatening your property. We remove trees of any size safely, whether they’re leaning against your house or towering over power lines.

Tree trimming and pruning keep healthy trees looking good and growing strong. Proper cuts prevent disease, improve shape, and remove branches that could become problems later. This isn’t about hacking branches randomly – it’s skilled work that helps trees thrive.

Stump grinding eliminates those ugly stumps that make mowing impossible and attract insects. We grind them below ground level and backfill with mulch, so you can plant grass or landscaping immediately. Wood chipping service means all debris gets processed on-site or hauled away completely – your choice.

How much does tree removal cost in Massapequa?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open yard might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can run $1,000-3,000 or more. We provide written estimates that break down all costs including removal, cleanup, and stump grinding if requested. Emergency storm work may have different pricing due to urgency and hazardous conditions. The best approach is getting a free estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for without surprises.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency calls when storms damage trees and create immediate safety hazards. If a tree falls on your house, blocks your driveway, or threatens power lines, we prioritize these calls and work to make your property safe as quickly as possible. Emergency response focuses on removing immediate dangers first, then scheduling complete cleanup when conditions allow. Keep our number handy during storm season – we understand that tree emergencies can’t wait for normal business hours.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage, and we’re licensed to perform tree work in New York. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property, and covers any accidental damage to your home or vehicles during the job. We can provide proof of insurance before starting work. Never hire uninsured tree services – if something goes wrong, you could be liable for injuries or property damage that should be covered by their insurance.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but pruning typically refers to selective removal of specific branches for tree health, while trimming usually means cutting for appearance or clearance. Proper pruning removes dead, diseased, or crossing branches at the right time of year using correct cutting techniques. This promotes healthy growth and prevents problems. Trimming might focus on clearing branches from rooflines, opening views, or shaping trees for aesthetics. Both require understanding tree biology to avoid damaging the tree or encouraging weak growth patterns.

How long does stump grinding take?

Stump grinding usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size and root system complexity. Small stumps under 12 inches might be done in 30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take several hours. We grind 6-8 inches below ground level so grass can grow over the area. The process creates wood chips that we can leave as mulch or haul away – your choice. Access affects timing too – stumps in tight spaces or behind fences take longer than those in open areas where we can position equipment easily.

When is the best time to remove or trim trees?

Dormant season (late fall through early spring) is generally best for most tree work because trees aren’t actively growing and there’s less stress on the tree. However, dead or dangerous trees should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species have specific timing requirements – oak trees shouldn’t be pruned during growing season due to disease risk, while flowering trees are best pruned right after blooming. Emergency situations override seasonal considerations. We can advise on optimal timing for your specific trees and situation during the estimate process.
