Do I need a permit for tree removal in Garden City?

Garden City requires permits for removing trees over 6 inches in diameter on residential properties. The village has strict tree preservation laws designed to maintain the community’s character and property values.You’ll need to submit an application with tree measurements, photos, and reason for removal. The village typically approves removals for dead, diseased, or dangerous trees but may deny permits for healthy trees.We help navigate the permit process and can provide documentation about tree condition to support your application. Most permits take 2-3 weeks to process, though emergency removals for immediate hazards can be expedited.

What's the best time of year for tree removal?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for tree removal in Garden City when trees are dormant. This timing minimizes stress on surrounding plants and reduces the risk of disease transmission to healthy trees.Winter removal is often easier because frozen ground supports heavy equipment better, and bare branches make it easier to see the tree’s structure. However, emergency removals happen year-round when trees pose immediate dangers.We avoid removal during nesting season (April through August) when possible to protect wildlife. If removal is necessary during this period, we inspect for active nests and work with local wildlife authorities if needed.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes lawn and landscaping damage through careful planning and proper equipment. We use plywood sheets to protect grass areas where heavy equipment travels and plan debris drop zones to avoid flower beds and shrubs.Some minor lawn damage is unavoidable with large tree removals, especially in wet conditions when equipment creates ruts. We repair obvious damage like deep tire tracks and reseed affected areas at no extra charge.Stump grinding creates wood chips that we remove unless you want them for mulch. The grinding process leaves a depression that we fill with topsoil and seed so grass grows back naturally within a few weeks.

How long does tree removal take to complete?

Most residential tree removals in Garden City take 2-6 hours depending on tree size and complexity. Small trees under 40 feet might be removed in 2-3 hours, while large trees near structures can take a full day.Complex removals requiring piece-by-piece dismantling take longer than trees that can be felled in one piece. Trees near power lines, buildings, or other valuable landscaping require more careful sectioning and rigging.Stump grinding adds 1-2 hours to the job. Complete cleanup and debris removal typically happens the same day, so your property is back to normal when we leave.

What happens if the tree damages something during removal?

We carry comprehensive liability insurance that covers property damage during tree removal operations. If our crew accidentally damages your home, vehicle, or other structures, our insurance handles repairs at no cost to you.Professional tree removal companies like Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing plan every cut to avoid property damage. We use rigging systems, cranes when necessary, and careful sectioning to control where tree pieces fall.Before starting work, we document existing conditions and discuss any concerns about nearby structures or landscaping.
