Cost Breakdown:

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 trees’ needs.
• Final Quote: After the free estimate, we provide a 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. This ensures you only pay for the services you need.

Environmental Considerations:

There are several protected zones within Westchester County, especially those areas surrounding rivers, parks, and nature preserves such as the Croton Gorge and Harriman State Park. These may require county or town authorization for tree removal within the area or near it, especially if wetlands or water bodies are involved.

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.

 

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.
