That dead tree hanging over your roof isn’t going anywhere on its own. Neither is the stump that’s been an eyesore for months or the overgrown branches scraping your house every time the wind picks up.

Professional tree care gives you back your peace of mind. No more wondering if that questionable oak will come down in the next storm. No more losing sleep over branches that could take out your power line or damage your neighbor’s car.

When the work’s done right, your property looks better, your family stays safer, and you actually get to enjoy your yard again. Plus, proper tree maintenance protects your home’s value instead of letting overgrown or dangerous trees drag it down.

Tree Service Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a free assessment of your trees and property. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to be done, why it matters, and what it’ll cost – no surprises or pressure tactics.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work at a time that works for you. Our crew arrives with professional equipment and gets straight to work, taking care to protect your landscaping, driveway, and anything else that could get damaged.

The cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We haul away all debris, rake up wood chips, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. If you’re getting stump grinding, we’ll backfill the area with topsoil so you can plant grass or whatever else you have planned for that space.

Everything You Need for Healthy Trees

Tree removal handles the obvious problems – dead, diseased, or dangerous trees that need to come down completely. We’ve got the equipment and experience to remove large trees safely, even in tight spaces near houses, power lines, or other structures.

Tree trimming and pruning keep your healthy trees looking good and growing strong. Proper pruning removes dead branches, improves the tree’s shape, and prevents future problems like branches growing too close to your roof or power lines.

Stump grinding gets rid of those ugly reminders of trees that used to be there. We grind stumps below ground level so you can plant grass, install landscaping, or just stop having to mow around them. Wood chipping service turns your brush and branches into useful mulch instead of a pile of debris you need to figure out how to dispose of.

How much does tree removal cost in North Valley Stream?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near power lines or structures can run several thousand. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what’s included – removal, cleanup, stump grinding if needed, and debris hauling. The price you get is the price you pay, with no hidden fees for things like “difficult access” or “extra cleanup” that some companies spring on you after the work’s done.

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

Nassau County and local municipalities have different rules about tree removal permits, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you can remove dead, diseased, or dangerous trees without a permit, but healthy trees over certain sizes may require approval. We’re familiar with North Valley Stream’s requirements and can help you determine if permits are needed. If they are, we’ll guide you through the process or handle the paperwork ourselves. It’s always better to check first than deal with fines or having to replant later.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming and pruning?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best time for most tree pruning in our area. Trees are dormant, so they handle the stress better, and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees, like maples, are better pruned in summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We’ll recommend the best timing based on your specific trees and what needs to be done. Emergency situations obviously can’t wait for the perfect season.

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

Dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees usually need full removal. Look for signs like large dead branches, fungal growth on the trunk, significant lean, or visible decay. If more than 50% of the tree is damaged or dead, removal is typically the safer choice. Healthy trees with specific problems – like branches too close to your house or overgrowth – can often be saved with proper pruning. During our free assessment, we’ll explain exactly what we’re seeing and why we recommend removal versus trimming. Sometimes the answer isn’t obvious, and getting a professional opinion prevents costly mistakes.

Will you clean up all the debris after tree work?

Complete cleanup is included in our service, not an extra charge. We haul away all branches, logs, and debris from the job site. Wood chips from grinding get raked and can be left for your use as mulch or hauled away – your choice. We’ll also clean up any mess on driveways, walkways, or lawn areas. The only thing we don’t handle is repairing damage to existing landscaping if heavy equipment needs to cross planted areas, but we’ll discuss access routes beforehand and take precautions to minimize any impact to your property.

Do you provide emergency tree service for storm damage?

Yes, we respond to emergency calls for storm damage, fallen trees, and dangerous situations that can’t wait for regular scheduling. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or is hanging dangerously after storm damage, that’s an emergency. We prioritize these calls and typically respond the same day when possible. Emergency service does cost more than scheduled work due to the urgent nature and potential for after-hours response, but we’ll give you the emergency rate upfront. For situations involving power lines, you’ll need to call your utility company first for safety reasons.
