FAQs
Tree removal in Manhattan is unique due to tight spaces, urban infrastructure, and permit requirements, which can impact the overall cost. Our pricing starts with a $500 base fee, which covers an expert on-site assessment. The final cost depends on factors such as tree height, accessibility, and whether special equipment like cranes are needed. Trees growing in confined courtyards, near buildings, or in hard-to-reach areas often require additional labor and safety measures, which can increase the price.
Yes, in most cases, you will need a permit to remove a tree in Manhattan, especially for trees on public property or street trees. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation oversees tree removals in Manhattan, and removing a tree without the proper permits can result in fines.
GreenLeaf Tree Care offers permit assistance for $250, handling all the paperwork and ensuring compliance with city regulations. If your tree is on private property and not protected, a permit may not be required, but our team will help you determine what’s needed before we begin. This way, you avoid unnecessary delays and potential legal issues.
Yes! We specialize in urban tree removal, and our team is highly experienced in safely removing trees from small courtyards, rooftops, and compact backyards. Manhattan’s unique layout means many trees grow in challenging spaces, surrounded by buildings, power lines, and walkways. Removing these trees requires precision, careful planning, and sometimes specialized rigging techniques.
At GreenLeaf Tree Care, we use advanced equipment and professional climbing techniques to dismantle trees in sections. Whether it’s a large tree wedged between apartment buildings or a small ornamental tree in a tight space, we’ll find the best removal strategy.
