Cost Breakdown:

Understanding the cost of tree removal is an essential part of planning any project. At GreenLeaf Tree Care, we provide transparent and upfront pricing so you can make informed decisions. Here’s how our pricing works:

• Free Estimate: Every project begins with a complimentary in-person consultation. During this visit, one of our experienced arborists evaluates the tree’s size, location, and condition, as well as any specific services required.
• Arborist Fee: Our tree removal services include a $500 arborist fee. This fee covers the initial consultation and a detailed assessment of your tree’s needs.
• Final Quote: After the free estimate, we provide a comprehensive quote based on factors such as the tree’s size, accessibility, and the specific services required. Whether it involves complete removal, stump grinding, or emergency services, we ensure our pricing reflects the complexity and scope of the job.
• Transparent Pricing: While the $500 arborist fee is a flat rate for all projects, the final cost varies depending on the specifics of the tree and property. 

Environmental Considerations:

Properties adjacent to wetlands or coastal zones, surrounding the Staten Island Bluebelt, have additional environmental restrictions. These often provide valuable stormwater management systems and habitat for native wildlife. Pruning or removal of trees within these areas may be subject to unique guidelines and environmental impact statements. For additional resources see NYC Department of City Planning resource: Special Purpose Districts in Staten Island.

the difference between private and public trees

A street tree is any tree that has been planted along sidewalks or public spaces and is maintained by the city. These trees line most residential neighborhoods in Staten Island and, for the most part, are under protection according to city regulations. A private tree can be defined as those trees located on your property and, in most instances, are your responsibility. However, special rules apply if the trees are in close proximity to wetlands, parks, and coastal regions.

Note: The NYC Parks Department recommends that Staten Island homeowners verify if a tree is city-owned or private by consulting their title survey as a pre-requisite when planning tree work on your property to avoid issues.
