Everything You Need for Tree Problems

Tree removal gets handled safely, whether you’re dealing with storm damage, diseased trees, or trees that have simply outgrown their space. We remove trees without damaging your property or leaving you with a mess to clean up.

Stump grinding eliminates those unsightly remnants that affect your property’s appearance and create obstacles for landscaping or lawn care. The area gets restored so you can use your space the way you want.

Tree trimming and pruning keeps your trees healthy while addressing safety concerns like branches near power lines or overhanging your roof. Proper pruning also improves your trees’ appearance and helps prevent future problems. Wood chipping service handles all debris efficiently, so you don’t have to worry about disposal or cleanup.

How much does tree removal cost in South Hempstead?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area typically costs less than a large tree near your house or power lines. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what’s included, so you know what you’re paying for. Most residential tree removals in South Hempstead range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, but the only way to get an accurate price is with an on-site assessment of your specific situation.

Do you provide emergency tree service for storm damage?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations including storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous conditions that threaten property or safety. Storm damage often requires immediate attention to prevent further property damage or safety risks. We prioritize emergency calls and work to respond as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that emergency services during peak storm seasons may involve longer wait times due to high demand, but we’ll communicate clearly about timing and get to your property as soon as we can safely do so.

Will you damage my landscaping or driveway during tree work?

We take extensive precautions to protect your property during tree work. This includes using protective mats for heavy equipment, carefully planning removal routes, and using specialized rigging techniques when working near structures or landscaping. While some minor impact to surrounding areas is sometimes unavoidable with large tree removals, we minimize damage and restore affected areas as part of our cleanup process. If any damage does occur, our insurance coverage protects you, and we’ll work to make it right.

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

Several signs indicate a tree may need removal: visible decay or hollow areas in the trunk, large dead branches, significant lean toward structures, root damage from construction, or disease that can’t be treated effectively. Trees growing too close to power lines, foundations, or other structures may also need removal for safety reasons. The best approach is to have a professional assessment, especially if you’re concerned about a tree’s condition. We can evaluate the tree’s health and safety risks, then recommend whether removal, trimming, or other treatment is the right solution.

What happens to the wood after tree removal?

We handle wood disposal as part of our service, typically through professional wood chipping or removal from your property. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood or other uses, just let us know during the estimate process and we can arrange that. Large logs can be cut to manageable sizes for your use, while branches and smaller debris get chipped or hauled away. Our goal is to leave your property clean and handle all debris according to your preferences and local disposal requirements.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Nassau County?

Yes, Competition Tree, Inc. maintains all required licensing and carries comprehensive insurance coverage for tree service work in Nassau County and South Hempstead. This protects both you and us during the work process. Our insurance includes liability coverage for property damage and worker’s compensation for our crew members. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work on your property. Working with licensed and insured professionals is essential for tree work because of the inherent risks involved with heavy equipment and large trees near valuable property.
