Family-run, licensed and insured tree work for Hempstead's tight lots, done by our own crew from nearby Westbury.
Hempstead runs from dense village blocks to larger homes on the outskirts, but most of the tree calls we get here have the same shape: a mature oak or maple standing too close to the house, on a lot with no room to drop anything. The tree went in decades before anyone thought about how it would come out.
On a lot like that, felling the tree whole is not an option. It has to be dismantled from above in sections — one climber working the tree, the rest of the crew lowering limbs on ropes past the roof, the fence, the wires, and the neighbor's driveway. That's rigging work, and it's the kind of removal we do regularly.
It starts with a look at the tree. Kenny comes out, walks the property, and gives you a straight price before anything goes on the calendar — what's coming down, how it's coming down, and what the yard will look like when we leave. On Hempstead's tighter blocks, access is half the job, so the drop zone and the haul-out route get planned up front, not on the morning of.
Some Nassau County villages require a permit before certain trees can be removed. We'll tell you what your address needs before the work is scheduled, so there are no surprises afterward.
On the day, the crew protects what's around the tree — fences, plantings, the neighbor's side of the line — takes it down in sections, and hauls everything away. You're left with a clean yard, not a pile of wood to deal with.
There's no flat rate, because the tree sets the price. What matters is its size and height, how close it stands to the house, wires, and fences, and how much room the crew has to work — tight Hempstead lots usually mean slower, piece-by-piece rigging rather than a straight felling. Whether you want the stump handled and the wood hauled away factors in too. Kenny gives free estimates, so you'll have an exact price for your tree before any work is scheduled.
Some Nassau County villages require a permit before certain trees come down, and the rules differ from one village to the next. Rather than guess, we check what your specific address requires and tell you before the job is scheduled. If the tree sits on or near a property line, it's also worth a conversation with your neighbor first — on tight lots the work often happens close to their side.
Yes — that's most of what we do. On a tight lot the tree comes down from the top in sections, with a climber cutting and the ground crew lowering each piece on ropes so nothing free-falls near the house, the fence, or the wires. It's slower than dropping a tree in an open field, but it's the only safe way to work on the lot sizes common in Hempstead.
