Understanding Private vs. 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. Additional factors involve trees lying near wetlands, parks, and coastlines.
 
Note: As per the New York Park Department, it is the property owners duty to check whether a tree is city-owned or in private property to avoid issues when removing or working on trees in their yard.

faqs

The cost for tree removal in Queens can vary between $300 and $2,000. Identifying factors like the size of a tree, its location and access is the key to determining cost. The smaller trees, usually less than 30 feet high, are less expensive compared to their taller counterparts. Tall trees, especially those over 60 feet high or near structures like power lines, require more elaboration while removal, adding another $500 to $1,500 to your total cost. Key factors that contribute to variation in cost:

  • Tree Condition: Healthy trees are less expensive and easier to take out than diseased or dying trees since these need more sensitive handling.
  • Location: Additional workforce and time can be taken if the tree is situated in a confined or inaccessible area, near the structure of a house or building.
  • Additional Services: Depending on what all services are going to be incorporated into it, the price can also increase, such as stump grinding, removal of debris, or applying for permits.
Certain serious factors taken into consideration when deciding whether to remove a tree near your house:
  • Tree Health: If the tree is diseased or dying, it may be more likely to fall, especially during storms.
  • Safety: Large overhanging branches around your home may fall and cause serious damage.
  • Root Damage: Roots can buckle your foundation or surrounding pavement. Damage can progressively worsen over time.
  • Storm Risk: A tree structurally weakened by disease or poor health can be a hazard in severe weather.

For stump removal in 2-3 days, you will need to start by digging around the stump to expose as much of the root system as possible. You can cut larger roots with a handsaw, hatchet, or chainsaw, and use loppers or clippers on the smaller roots. With major roots cut through, you should be able to lift the stump out of the ground. This is quite an effective method, though physically demanding and time-consuming. If you’d rather skip the effort, just give us a call, and we shall have it removed in hours.

If the tree is on your private property, you usually don’t need a permit, unless it’s a “protected” species or very large. But if the tree is on city property (like the sidewalk or curb), the NYC Parks Department is in charge. You can’t touch those without going through their process. We deal with this all the time, and we can handle the paperwork if it’s needed. We’ll tell you right away what type of tree it is and what the city rules say.

Need-to-know:

  • Private trees: usually no permit
  • Street trees: always need city approval
  • We handle the permit process if it’s required
  • We’ll confirm ownership of the tree before doing anything

Yes, we do that a lot in Queens. Many properties are tight, especially in older neighborhoods. If a tree’s near utility lines, we are EHAP-certified and can remove it ourselves. We use rigging to bring limbs down safely, piece by piece. No crashing, no damage to your property. We’re used to working in small backyards, alleys, and rooftops. It’s a careful process, but it’s what we do every day.

What we bring to the job:

  • Climbing gear and rigging for tight spots
  • Bucket truck if access allows
  • Communication with utility companies
  • Clean, safe removal start to finish

We recycle it or turn it into wood chips (unless you ask us to leave it.) Most people want it gone, so we chip the limbs, cut the trunk down into manageable pieces, and remove everything. If you want to keep the mulch or logs, just let us know. We’re flexible. Some folks use the wood for fire pits or gardening.

Options for cleanup:

  • Full haul-away (most common)
  • Mulch left on-site (if requested)
  • Logs cut and stacked for homeowner use
  • Stump grinding or full removal also available
