Everything Your Trees Need Under One Roof

Tree removal handles the dangerous, dead, or poorly placed trees that threaten your property. We remove trees of any size safely, whether they’re close to your house, near power lines, or in tight spaces.

Tree trimming and pruning keep your healthy trees looking good and growing properly. This isn’t just about appearance – proper pruning prevents storm damage and extends tree life.

Stump grinding eliminates those unsightly stumps that make your yard look unfinished and create tripping hazards. We grind stumps below ground level so you can plant grass or landscaping right over the area.

Wood chipping turns your tree debris into useful mulch, and we handle emergency calls when storms leave you with damaged trees that need immediate attention.

How much does tree removal cost in Roslyn Harbor?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A typical residential tree removal in Roslyn Harbor ranges from $500 to $2,000, but trees near structures or power lines, or exceptionally large specimens, can cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that include all aspects of the job – cutting, removal, and complete cleanup. The estimate accounts for protecting your property during the work and any special equipment needed for tight spaces or challenging access. We never give you a price over the phone because every tree and every property is different.

When is the best time to trim trees on Long Island?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best time for tree pruning on Long Island, when trees are dormant and you can see their structure clearly. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees should be pruned in late fall or winter to avoid oak wilt disease. Storm damage obviously requires immediate attention. We assess each situation individually because the “best” time depends on the tree species, its health, and your specific goals for the work.

Do you handle emergency tree removal after storms?

Yes, we provide emergency tree service throughout Nassau County when storms damage trees. We prioritize calls where trees are blocking driveways, threatening structures, or creating safety hazards. Emergency response typically costs more than scheduled work due to the urgency and often challenging conditions. We can often provide temporary solutions to make situations safe, then return to complete the full cleanup when conditions improve. If you have storm damage, call us as soon as it’s safe to do so. Document the damage with photos for your insurance company, but don’t attempt to move large branches or cut damaged trees yourself.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in New York?

Competition Tree, Inc. carries full licensing and comprehensive liability insurance for all tree service work in New York. This protects you if there’s property damage during the job or if someone gets injured on your property. Many homeowners don’t realize that if an uninsured tree service damages their roof or neighbor’s fence, they could be held responsible. We provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Our coverage includes general liability and workers’ compensation, so you’re protected from potential lawsuits if a crew member is injured. Always verify insurance coverage before hiring any tree service – it’s not worth the risk to save a few dollars.

How long does stump grinding take and what's left behind?

Most residential stump grinding takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the stump’s size and root system. We grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for grass or new landscaping. What’s left is a pile of wood chips and sawdust that we can either remove or leave for you to use as mulch. The ground will settle over time as the remaining roots decompose, so you might need to add soil and reseed in a few months. Large stumps with extensive root systems take longer and create more debris. We clean up the work area completely, but the ground where the stump was will need some attention to look perfect again.

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

The terms are often used interchangeably, but pruning is more precise work focused on tree health, while trimming is generally about appearance and size control. Pruning removes dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve tree structure and health. It requires understanding tree biology and proper cutting techniques. Trimming typically means reducing size or shaping for aesthetic reasons. Both require knowledge of how trees respond to cuts and which branches to remove. Poor cutting techniques can damage trees permanently or make them more susceptible to disease and storm damage. Professional tree care involves both approaches depending on your trees’ needs and your goals for your landscape.
