Tree Removal Long Island

Yes. Nassau County tree removal is a primary service for us — we cover every town and village in the county. From the Town of Hempstead and North Hempstead to Garden City, Oyster Bay, Long Beach, and Hicksville, our ISA-certified arborists handle the full range of Nassau County residential and commercial tree removal jobs. No travel fees anywhere in Nassau County.

It depends on your specific village or town. Nassau County has more than 60 incorporated villages, each with its own tree ordinance. In the Town of Hempstead, permits are generally required for street trees and for trees over a certain diameter near the right-of-way. Incorporated villages like Garden City, Rockville Centre, and Great Neck have their own permit requirements. Most private backyard trees on residential property do not require a permit — but front-yard trees, trees near utility lines, and trees classified as protected species may trigger a permit requirement. We check your municipality during the free estimate visit and advise you before any work starts.

Nassau County tree removal typically costs $350–$1,500 for most residential trees depending on size, access, and complexity. Small ornamentals run $350–$600. Mid-size trees (30–60 feet) cost $700–$1,200. Large mature oaks, maples, and Norway maples run $1,200–$2,500+. Tight Nassau County lot conditions and proximity to structures or utility lines can affect pricing. We provide free on-site written estimates with no obligation.

Yes. Emergency storm response in Nassau County is available 24/7. We mobilize within 12–48 hours after major storms for standard cleanup, and same-day for active hazards like trees on structures or blocking driveways. We have responded to every major Long Island storm event since 2009 — including Superstorm Sandy (2012) and Tropical Storm Isaias (2020) — and provide full insurance documentation for Nassau County homeowners filing storm damage claims.

Yes. Our lead arborist holds ISA Certified Arborist credential #NE-7234 and all Nassau County removal jobs are supervised by a certified arborist. ISA certification matters because it means the arborist can assess hidden structural damage, produce written reports accepted by insurance carriers, and make informed decisions on difficult removals near structures or utility lines. We also hold Nassau County HIC License #H1892400 with $2 million in general liability and full workers' compensation.

Tree removal on Long Island typically costs $400–$1,200 for small trees (under 30 feet), $900–$2,000 for medium trees (30–60 feet), and $1,500–$3,500+ for large trees (60–100+ feet). Cost depends on tree size, proximity to structures, access difficulty, and whether stump grinding is included. We provide detailed free estimates — no ballpark guesses over the phone.

Nassau County tree removal costs are comparable to the Long Island average: $500–$1,500 for most residential trees. Tight-lot conditions common in Hempstead, Garden City, Hicksville, and Massapequa can add 10–20% due to rigging requirements. Large trees near homes or power lines in villages like Glen Cove or Great Neck run $2,000–$3,500+. We give a firm written quote after a free on-site assessment — no surprise fees.

Most residential tree removals take 2–6 hours. A full crew with a chipper and aerial equipment can handle most jobs in a single day. Large or complex removals — especially trees near power lines or structures — may take a full day. We can give you a more specific estimate once we see the tree.

Yes. Cleanup is included in every job — not an upsell. We chip all branches on-site and haul everything away. The stump can be ground to lawn level as an add-on. The yard is spotless when we leave.

Yes. We specialize in tight-access removals using rigging techniques that lower sections safely without letting anything fall. Our ISA-certified arborists assess every job before the first cut. In Nassau County, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island for utility-line clearances when needed.

Permit requirements vary by village and town. In the Town of Hempstead, a permit is generally required for trees over a certain diameter in the public right-of-way. Villages like Garden City and Great Neck have their own tree ordinances. We check your specific municipality's requirements during the estimate and advise on permit needs. Most residential backyard trees on private property do not require a permit, but it depends on your village.

The two biggest threats to Long Island trees are oak wilt and emerald ash borer (EAB). Oak wilt has been confirmed on Long Island and can kill red oaks within weeks. EAB has decimated ash trees across the Northeast and is now established in Nassau and Suffolk counties. If you notice wilting, bark splitting, or unusual leaf drop, call for an ISA-certified arborist assessment before the issue spreads to neighboring trees.

We serve all of Nassau County including the Town of Hempstead, Town of North Hempstead, City of Glen Cove, and City of Long Beach. Specific villages include Garden City, Hicksville, Massapequa, Rockville Centre, Valley Stream, Freeport, Lynbrook, Great Neck, Manhasset, Mineola, New Hyde Park, Floral Park, Franklin Square, and Elmont. No travel fees anywhere in Nassau County.

After a hurricane on Long Island, the key factors are: (1) ISA certification — look for an ISA-certified arborist on staff, not just a crew with a chainsaw. Certified arborists can assess hidden structural damage and produce reports your insurance carrier will accept. (2) Nassau County licensing — verify a valid Nassau County HIC license. Ask for the number and confirm it. (3) PSEG coordination experience — trees near power lines can only be safely removed with proper PSEG Long Island coordination. Ask specifically if they have worked with PSEG on utility-adjacent jobs. (4) Storm history on Long Island — ask which specific storm events they have worked. Sandy 2012, Isaias 2020, and the 2011 Irene response are the benchmarks. A company that can detail their operations in those events has the actual experience you need. Long Island Tree Pros has operated through every major storm event since 2009 and carries Nassau County HIC License #H1892400 with $2 million in general liability.
