Complete Tree Removal Manhattan

For complete tree removal in Manhattan, GreenLeaf Tree Care takes care of everything from the initial assessment to the final cleanup. While we cherish our Manhattan trees, sometimes they become more of a problem than a solution. Large, unruly, and difficult-to-maintain trees often need to be removed entirely.

We manage every part of the process, including stump grinding and debris removal, to leave your property clean and ready for new landscaping. And if you need tree-planting services, we can help with that too.

Tree Removal Permits in Manhattan

Street Trees:

For the removal of pruning, planting of street trees a permit is required by the NYC Parks Department. When this is done unauthorized, there are very heavy fines assessed. In historic districts, like Greenwich Village and the Upper East Side, you may have to coordinate with the LPC for changes in street trees.

Private Property Trees:

Generally, no permit is required for removal on private property, except when the property is in a historic district or is a landmarked property. In that case, permission from the LPC must be secured prior to the removal or essential alteration of trees.

Environmental Considerations:

The trees that are closer to Central Park or other protected areas might have more scrutiny if their removal is going to affect the local ecology or tree cover. Manhattan is highly urbanized and, therefore, requires the retention of trees to improve air quality and shade. Because of this, added pressure could be placed on retaining trees during construction or renovation projects.

Distinguishing Private and Public Trees

A street tree is any tree planted along sidewalks, or in public spaces, usually on the street side of the sidewalk and managed by the city. Private trees are located on your own property and fall under your responsibility unless special rules apply-such as when a tree falls within a historic district or protection area. Additional factors involve trees lying near wetlands, parks, and coastlines, where special agencies may need extra permits to maintain the natural habitats.
 
Note: As per the New York Park Department, it is the property owners duty to know whether a tree is on their property or on City property. Homeowners should check their title survey for property lines to prevent problems when removing or working on trees in their yard.
