Family-run, licensed and insured tree work for Garden City's oldest and biggest trees, from our base a few minutes away in Westbury.
The oaks and maples lining Garden City's streets have been standing for generations, and plenty of the trees in back yards went in around the same time. Trees that old are what make the village look the way it does. They are also the ones that start dropping limbs, dying back at the crown, or leaning over a roofline after a hard storm.
A tree that size on a village lot cannot just be cut and dropped. There is a house on one side, a neighbor's fence on the other, and usually plantings and a lawn underneath that someone has put real care into. So the tree comes apart from the top down — a climber works it in sections while the crew ropes each piece to the ground.
Not every old tree needs to come down, either. A lot of what we do in Garden City is pruning: taking the deadwood out of a healthy oak, lifting a canopy off a roof, thinning shade that has gotten heavy enough to kill the lawn under it. If the tree can be saved, we will say so.
It starts with Kenny looking at the tree. He will walk the property, look at what is under and around the drop zone, and give you a straight price before anything is scheduled. That price is the price — nothing changes once the crew shows up.
One thing to know about working in the village: Garden City is one of the Nassau villages where certain tree work needs a permit before it can happen. We deal with that question up front, before the job is booked, so you are not finding out about paperwork after a tree is half down.
On the day of the job, we protect what stays — fences, beds, walkways, the lawn — bring the tree down in sections, and haul everything away. Wood, brush, debris, all of it. When we leave, the yard is clean and the only sign we were there is the tree being gone.
It depends on the tree and the spot it is in. The height and trunk size matter, but what really drives the price is access — a tall oak tight between two houses takes far more rigging and time than the same oak standing in an open yard. Condition matters too, since dead or storm-damaged trees have to be handled more carefully. Kenny gives a free estimate with a firm price before any work is scheduled, so you will know the exact number up front.
For certain tree work in the Village of Garden City, yes — the village regulates removals in a way some neighboring towns do not. Whether your job needs one depends on the specific tree and where it sits on the property. We sort out the permit question for your address before the work is booked, so it is settled before a saw ever starts.
Most residential removals are done in a day, though a very large tree in a tight spot can take longer because it has to come apart piece by piece. Everything gets hauled away when the work is finished — trunk wood, limbs, and brush — so you are not left with a pile in the yard. If you want some wood kept for firewood, just say so when we quote the job.
