Complete Tree Care Russell Gardens

Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal covers everything from emergency storm damage to planned removals of trees that have outgrown their space. We handle the permit process when needed and coordinate with utility companies if power lines are involved.

Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and the maintenance headache. Stumps get ground well below grade so you can plant grass, install landscaping, or just stop mowing around them. Wood chipping turns debris into useful mulch or gets hauled away completely, your choice.

Tree trimming and pruning keep healthy trees healthy while improving their appearance and safety. We know which branches to remove and when to do it for the best results. Emergency service means we’re available when storms hit and trees come down across driveways or onto structures.

How much does tree removal cost in Russell Gardens?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically run $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can cost $1,200-3,000 or more. Trees near houses, power lines, or in tight spaces cost more because they require specialized equipment and techniques. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, including stump grinding and cleanup, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Russell Gardens?

Russell Gardens has specific tree preservation ordinances that may require permits for removing certain trees, especially larger specimens or trees in protected areas. Generally, permits are needed for healthy trees over a certain diameter, but emergency removals of damaged or dangerous trees often have different requirements. We handle the permit research and application process as part of our service, ensuring all work complies with local regulations. It’s always better to check first rather than face potential fines or legal issues later.

How quickly can you remove a tree after a storm?

Emergency tree removal typically happens within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on the severity of the situation and weather conditions. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or poses immediate danger, we prioritize these calls and often respond the same day. For storm damage that’s not immediately threatening, response times may be 2-5 days during major weather events when demand is high. We maintain emergency equipment and crews specifically for these situations because we know how disruptive and stressful tree emergencies can be.

What's included in your stump grinding service?

Stump grinding includes grinding the visible stump and major surface roots down to 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for grass planting or most landscaping projects. We clean up all wood chips and debris, leaving the area ready for your next project. The grinding process also eliminates the root system’s ability to sprout new growth. If you want the wood chips removed completely, that’s available for an additional fee, or we can spread them as mulch in other areas of your property. We don’t just grind and leave – the job isn’t finished until the area looks right.

Can you trim trees near power lines?

We can trim trees near power lines, but the approach depends on who owns the lines and how close the branches are. For utility company power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe, compliant work that won’t cause power outages or safety hazards. Private electrical lines on your property are different and we can work around those with proper safety protocols. Tree work near any electrical lines requires specialized training and equipment that not all tree services have. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the safest, most cost-effective approach for your property.

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

Trees need removal when they pose safety risks that can’t be corrected through pruning or treatment. Signs include large dead branches, significant trunk decay, root damage from construction, severe lean toward structures, or disease that’s killing the tree. Storm damage, especially split trunks or major branch failures, often means removal is the safest option. Sometimes healthy trees need removal because they’ve outgrown their space or are causing foundation problems. We provide honest assessments and will always tell you if a tree can be saved through proper care rather than removal, because unnecessary tree removal doesn’t serve anyone’s interests.
