Everything Your Trees Need

Tree removal handles the dangerous or unwanted trees that threaten your property. We safely remove trees of any size, whether they’re storm-damaged, diseased, or just in the wrong place.

Tree trimming and pruning keeps your healthy trees looking good and growing properly. Proper pruning techniques protect the tree’s health while improving its appearance and removing potential hazards.

Stump grinding eliminates those unsightly stumps that attract insects and make your yard look unfinished. We grind stumps below ground level so you can replant or simply enjoy a clean landscape. Wood chipping service turns debris into useful mulch when possible.

How much does tree removal cost in Shinnecock Hills?

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 your house or power lines could run several thousand. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment is usually much less than the potential damage from leaving a dangerous tree in place.

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

Permit requirements vary depending on the tree size, species, and local regulations in Shinnecock Hills. Some areas protect certain tree species or require permits for trees over a specific diameter. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you understand what’s needed for your specific situation. It’s always better to check before starting work rather than dealing with potential fines or legal issues later.

When is the best time of year for tree trimming?

The best timing depends on the type of tree and your goals. Most trees benefit from pruning during their dormant season in late winter or early spring, before new growth starts. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees, like oaks, are best pruned in winter to avoid disease transmission. We can recommend the optimal timing for your specific trees and situation.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most residential stump grinding jobs take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the stump size and root system. Large stumps or those in difficult locations may take longer. We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for replanting or laying sod. The process creates wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed completely, depending on your preference.

Are you insured for tree work near my house?

Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Tree work near structures requires experienced professionals with proper insurance—this isn’t the time to hire the cheapest crew you can find. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This protects both you and us if something unexpected happens during the job.

What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?

Complete cleanup is included in our tree service. We remove all branches, logs, and debris unless you specifically want to keep some of the wood for firewood or other uses. Large logs can often be cut to length for your fireplace if you prefer. Wood chips from our grinding can be left as mulch for your landscaping or removed entirely—whatever works best for your property.
