Long Island Tree Service — Removal, Trimming & Stump Grinding

Tree removal pricing depends on the size of the tree, access to your property, and disposal requirements. We provide free on-site estimates with no obligation. Most residential jobs in Nassau and Suffolk County are completed in a single day.

Yes. We hold Nassau County HIC License #H1892400 and Suffolk County License #48221-H. We carry $2M general liability and full workers compensation coverage. ISA Certified Arborist #NE-7234.

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response for storm damage, downed limbs, and trees threatening structures. Call us any time — we keep a crew on call for exactly these situations.

We chip all branches on-site and haul everything away. Logs can be left in sections for firewood if you want them, or we take everything. Either way, the yard is spotless before we leave — that's not optional for us.

Nassau County tree removal typically costs $400–$1,800 for a standard residential tree depending on height, diameter, and access. A small ornamental tree under 25 feet runs $400–$700. A medium shade tree 25–50 feet runs $700–$1,200. A large oak or maple over 50 feet with tight access in towns like Garden City, Manhasset, or Great Neck can run $1,200–$1,800+. Stump grinding adds $150–$350. We provide free written estimates on every Nassau County job — call us and Jim or a crew lead will be at your property within 24–48 hours.

It depends on the town. Nassau County does not have a single countywide tree permit — permit requirements are set by each of the three towns (Town of Hempstead, Town of Oyster Bay, Town of North Hempstead) and by incorporated villages. Many Nassau County villages require a tree removal permit for trees over 6 inches in diameter, and some require approval for trees on private property near street rights-of-way. We check permit requirements for your specific Nassau County address before every job and handle the filing at no extra charge when a permit is needed.

Most Nassau County tree removal jobs are scheduled within 3–5 business days of the estimate. Emergency jobs — trees threatening structures, active storm damage, or blocked driveways — are typically on-site the same day or next morning. If a permit is required in your Nassau County village, the filing adds 3–10 business days for approval before we can cut. We tell you the full timeline at the estimate so there are no surprises.

Yes. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and full workers compensation coverage on every crew member. Both policies are current and we carry certificates we will provide on request. This matters for Nassau County homeowners because your homeowner's insurance can deny claims for property damage caused by an uninsured contractor. We are also ISA Certified — Arborist #NE-7234 — which means our work meets the American National Standard for tree care operations.

Yes. We grind stumps flush to ground level or below on every Nassau County job where requested. Our stump grinder works in tight backyards and beside foundations — common in densely built Nassau County neighborhoods in Levittown, Massapequa, Hicksville, and Great Neck. Grinding fills are topped with topsoil and can be seeded. Stump grinding is quoted separately from tree removal and typically adds $150–$350 per stump depending on diameter. Most clients combine removal and grinding in a single visit.
