NYC Tree Removal Services

How can tree removal possibly be an emergency problem? You might be surprised by how many homeowners call tree removal emergency services to have items quickly removed from their property. In many cases, having these trees removed goes beyond the aesthetics. Trees, especially very large ones, have a huge impact on the safety and integrity of any structure close to it.

Trees are best removed when they’re in the way of property. For example, if you have a large tree that hangs over the house, having it removed may be the safest option in the long run. This is because the tree or any of its branches can break and fall onto the house, causing damage. This likelihood becomes even more prominent during severe weather conditions like rainstorms, hurricanes, or heavy winds.

Let’s say that the tree is far from your main house and there’s no danger of it falling over the house. However, that doesn’t mean that there’s no need to remove it. Unhealthy trees can easily fall down and block your property. Perhaps it falls on the fence or worse – over an unsuspecting pedestrian on the sidewalk? It’s better to have a controlled fall of the tree and its branches, done by professionals who have the necessary tools to guarantee safety.

But how do you know it’s time to have the tree removed? Here are some signs you’ll need to hire tree removal services:

Look at the trunk. Is it damaged or can you find vertical cracks on the surface? If yes, then chances are you’ll need to have it removed completely. A damaged tree may continue to live but its health will be on a steady decline and you will find yourself worrying about growing debris. Leaves will fall off; branches will break off and you’ll have a hard time keeping your space clean.
Look into the species of the tree. Some trees are undesirable because even if they’re perfectly healthy, they’re likely to fall and cause dirt and damage. Some tree branches are very brittle and a strong gust of wind can easily rip it apart.
Make sure to have arborists check the tree just to make sure that it’s safe to remove. Some trees have been on the property before the house which means that their roots grow deep into the structure of the property. If cut down and killed, this can cause the roots of the tree to rot and essentially damage the foundations of the house.

Make sure to check your state’s tree laws when it comes to protected species. Some trees are considered old growth and are legally protected. If you’re not sure, an arborist should be able to quickly identify a tree and figure out if it is legally protected. Tree removal permits are also required especially if you plan to remove a completely healthy tree. Tree pruning – provided that it’s not destructive – does not require any kind of permit.

Do I Also Need to Have the Stump Removed?

Tree stumps aren’t really a problem once the tree itself is removed. However, if you plan to build a structure on the space or just want a cleaner look to your yard, you can have them ground down to a flat surface. Stump grinding is done with the use of specialized equipment and can be part of the tree removal package. Note though that some stumps definitely need to be removed because some species are very persistent and will continue to grow even after being cut. Stump grinding eliminates this possibility and lets you construct anything on the surface without fear.

How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Tree Near Me?

The cost of tree removal in New York City depends on the tree itself. Small trees can cost anywhere from $150 to $450 to remove. Medium trees which measure from 30 to 60 feet in height can cost as much as $850 for removal. Anything above that can go as high as $1000 to cut down.

How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Fallen Tree Near My House?

If the tree has already fall down, the cost of removal is slightly cheaper because removers don’t take the risk of climbing up to cut it piece by piece. However, the overall cost still depends on the size, ranging from $100 to $500 for medium-sized trees. Note that even if already fallen, trees need to be cut down into smaller pieces so for transportation. The removal can also include restoring the grounds so there is no chunk of upended soil on your yard.

How Much Does It Cost to Cut Down a Massive Tree?

Cutting down a massive tree can cost $1000 minimum. Understand that when removing large trees, specialists have to take several factors into consideration. For example, how do they make sure the branches don’t fall on your house or any important structure? What equipment do they need to take it down? The hardiness of the tree can also come into play as some trees are very hard and will take a long time to cut down. The exact amount really depends on the remover’s final assessment of the tree itself.

If Removing a Tree, How Can I find a New One?

Let’s say you’ve decided to remove an existing tree only to replace it with a new one.

This is entirely understandable as you might want a tree that’s easier to manage – or maybe just to pump up your home’s overall look. The best people to ask for advice would be the same people who removed the initial tree.

As experts in the field, removers should be able to point you in the right direction or have contacts to help with replacement.

In many cases, removers have in-house arborists that can advise you on the best replacement trees and where you can get them for transplanting.

Sometimes, there’s really no other option but to remove a tree from your NYC property. For the sake of safety however, make sure you hire the services of professional tree removers who have the tools and experience to handle tree removal without damage to you or your property.
