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.

Tree removal costs in Queens vary depending on several key factors. The size of the tree plays a major role, as smaller trees are generally less labor-intensive to remove than tall or mature trees. Location and accessibility also matter. Trees close to buildings, fences, or power lines require additional safety measures and specialized equipment. The condition of the tree can affect cost as well, since diseased or unstable trees often require more careful handling. Extra services such as stump grinding, debris removal, or permit assistance can also influence the final price. An on-site evaluation is the best way to determine the exact cost for your situation.

You should consider removing a tree near your home if it poses a risk to safety or property. Key factors include the tree’s health, large overhanging branches, root damage that could affect foundations or pavement, and vulnerability during storms. A licensed arborist can inspect the tree and advise whether pruning, support, or complete removal is the safest choice.

To remove a stump yourself in 2–3 days, start by digging around it to expose the roots. Cut larger roots with a handsaw, hatchet, or chainsaw, and trim smaller roots with loppers or clippers. Once the major roots are cut, the stump can usually be lifted out. This method works but is physically demanding and time-consuming. If you want to skip the effort, give us a call- we can remove the stump safely in just a few hours.

If the tree is on your private property, a permit is usually not required unless it is a protected species or exceptionally large. Trees located on city property, such as sidewalks or curbs, fall under NYC Parks regulations, and city approval is always required before any work. We handle this process regularly and can take care of the paperwork if needed. Before starting, we’ll identify the tree and confirm ownership so you know exactly what the rules require, ensuring the removal is safe and compliant.

Yes, we regularly remove trees in tight spaces throughout Queens, including narrow backyards, alleys, and rooftops in older neighborhoods. If a tree is near utility lines, our EHAP-certified team can safely handle it using climbing gear and rigging to bring limbs down piece by piece, preventing damage to your property. When access allows, we also use bucket trucks and coordinate with utility companies as needed. Our goal is a careful, safe removal from start to finish, ensuring both the tree and your property are managed properly.

After removing a tree, we usually chip the limbs, cut the trunk into manageable pieces, and haul everything away, unless you prefer to keep some of it. Many homeowners use the wood for fire pits, gardening, or as mulch. We are flexible and can leave mulch on-site, cut and stack logs for your use, or handle stump grinding and full removal if needed. Our goal is to leave your property clean and safe while accommodating your preferences.
