Environmental Considerations

  • Areas along the waterfront, for example, Red Hook or Coney Island, are highly prone to water flood damage or storms. Because of the environmental zoning restrictions in these areas, tree removal might be subject to special considerations.
  • Environmental concerns could be heightened in areas around Gowanus or Prospect Park because of other environmental protections available to these areas, especially with regards to their bodies of water and protected wetlands.

distinguishing private and public trees

A street tree is any tree planted along sidewalks or public spaces and maintained by the city. A private tree would be one that is on your property and therefore your responsibility, unless special rules apply, especially with trees around wetlands, parks, and coastlines.
 

As per the New York Parks Department, homeowners must know if a tree is city-owned or private by looking at their title survey to avoid issues when removing or working on trees in their yard.

faqs

The cost of tree removal generally ranges from $300 to $2,000 in Brooklyn, depending on several factors: the size of the tree, the shape, and where it’s located. The bigger trees require renting cranes, adding another $500 to $1,500 to your total cost. Also, the difficulty of the removal-for instance, proximity to structures or power lines-can affect pricing even more. An accurate estimate is required so that a quote can be provided.

Yes, GreenLeaf Tree Care is a fully insured tree removal service in Brooklyn, NY. Our insurance covers both our team and your property at every step of the tree removal process. We take safety and professionalism seriously at all times, making sure every job is handled with care and expertise. For any tree services you may need, be it removals, Brooklyn tree removal for storm damage, or trimming, we have reliable, insured service you can count on.

Certain serious factors taken into consideration when deciding whether to remove a tree near your house include reasons such as the health of the tree, safety concerns, and damages related to roots or falling branches to your property. If the tree is diseased, structurally compromised, or otherwise poses a risk during storms, this is best left to a professional for assessment and removal options.

To remove the stump in 2-3 days, start working by digging around the stump to expose as much of the roots as possible. Using a hatchet, handsaw, or chainsaw, you can cut through the larger roots, while loppers or clippers can be used on the smaller ones. If the roots are taken care of, you should raise the stump with ease from the ground. The method is somewhat laborious and time-consuming but works well for stump removal. If you don’t feel like doing all of that, just give us a call and it’ll be gone in a few hours.

Dependent on the tree type and tree location on your property in NYC, you might require a permit to remove it. Property owners are supposed to verify property lines through their title survey before this process. The Tree Work Permit is available online and via mail. It is fairly important that you heed the local regulations prior to taking down the tree. For information about the application process, refer to the NYC Parks Department website.

Permits are not usually required for routine pruning of privately owned trees. However, if the tree is near a sidewalk or in a protected area, or if it’s a street tree managed by the city, you may need to consult the NYC Parks Department for permission. Our team at GreenLeaf Tree Care can help guide you through this process.
