Your yard will be clean, your remaining trees will be healthy, and you’ll have one less thing keeping you up at night. The dangerous trees are gone completely—stumps ground down, debris hauled away, and your lawn looking better than when we started.
Glen Head Tree Removal Company
We’ve been serving Glen Head and Nassau County for over 25 years, completing more than 500 projects with over 150 customer reviews. We understand Glen Head’s mature tree population and the unique challenges they present to homeowners.
Glen Head’s rural feel comes with tall, established trees that enhance property values but require professional care. Our team knows the local tree species—black locust, black cherry, ailanthus—and how Long Island weather affects them.
We’re not just another tree service company. We’re your neighbors who understand that Glen Head homeowners expect quality work, fair pricing, and complete cleanup when the job is done.
Tree Removal Process Glen Head
First, we assess your trees and property. We’ll show you exactly what needs to be removed and why, then provide a detailed written estimate with no surprises. If permits are required for trees over 8 inches in diameter, we handle that paperwork.
When we start the work, we protect your property first. Tarps go down, equipment is positioned carefully, and we plan every cut to ensure trees come down exactly where we want them. Safety isn’t just our priority—it’s how we operate every single day.
After the trees are down, we handle everything else. Branches get chipped, logs get removed, and stumps get ground 6-8 inches below grade. We backfill with topsoil so you can plant grass immediately. When we’re done, your property is cleaner than when we started.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Glen Head?
Yes, Glen Head requires permits for removing any tree with a diameter of 8 inches or greater measured at 4.5 feet above ground. The permit application must be submitted to the Tree Commission through the Building Department Administrator.
The application requires details about the tree species, size, location, and reason for removal, plus a sketch showing existing trees and proposed improvements. Applications are typically approved or denied within seven business days.
We’re familiar with Glen Head’s permit requirements and handle this paperwork for you. Some emergency situations may be exempt, but it’s always best to check with local authorities before removing any significant trees.
What's the best time of year for tree removal in Glen Head?
Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for tree removal in Glen Head. Trees are dormant during this period, which means less stress on surrounding vegetation and better healing for any trees that need pruning rather than removal.
Winter removal also makes it easier to see tree structure without leaves, and there’s less impact on your lawn and landscaping. However, dead or dangerous trees should be removed immediately regardless of season for safety reasons.
Emergency removals happen year-round when storms damage trees or create hazardous situations. We prioritize these calls because waiting can lead to property damage or injury.
How do you protect my property during tree removal?
We take extensive precautions to protect your Glen Head property during tree removal. Before any cutting starts, we lay down protective tarps and carefully position equipment to minimize lawn damage. Our crews plan every cut to control exactly where branches and trunk sections fall.
We use specialized rigging techniques for trees near structures, and plywood protection for driveways and walkways. Our equipment operators are experienced in working around delicate plants, sprinkler systems, and decorative landscape features.
If we need to drive equipment across your lawn, we use plywood or mats to distribute weight and prevent rutting. After removal, we rake the work area and ensure your landscape looks professional and clean.
What happens to the wood and debris after tree removal?
All debris removal is included in our tree removal service. We chip the branches on-site, cut the trunk into manageable pieces, and haul everything away unless you specifically want to keep some wood for firewood.
Many Glen Head homeowners like to keep sections for firewood, which we’re happy to cut and stack for you. Wood chips from our chipping process can be left as mulch for your landscaping, or we’ll remove them if you prefer.
We also handle stump grinding, which creates additional wood chips. These can be used to backfill the stump hole along with topsoil, leaving you with a level area ready for grass seed or new landscaping.
Are you licensed and insured for tree removal in Glen Head?
Yes, we’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from any liability if someone gets injured on your property during tree work, and covers accidental damage to your home or neighboring properties.
We provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Many tree companies operate without proper coverage, leaving Glen Head homeowners exposed to significant financial risk if accidents occur during tree removal.
Our 25 years of experience serving Nassau County, combined with proper licensing and insurance, gives you the protection and peace of mind you deserve when removing dangerous trees from your property.
