Where We Work
Valley Stream is home base, and the ring of towns around it is a fifteen-minute drive end to end. The trees don't change much from one town to the next. The paperwork does. Half these places are incorporated villages with tree codes of their own, half are hamlets under the Town of Hempstead, and the rules really are different from one side of a street to the other.
Tree Service in Lynbrook
An incorporated village with its own permit rules. There's no fee for a curb-strip removal, but you've got four months to plant the replacement. 1920s lots, century-old street trees.
Lynbrook details →Tree Service in Hewlett
Five different jurisdictions in three square miles. Hewlett Harbor regulates any tree over 22 inches around, dead ones included. Give us the address and we'll sort out which rules you're under.
Hewlett details →Tree Service in Cedarhurst
Incorporated in 1910, licenses its tree servicers, and packed tight enough that most removals mean a crane in the street. Woodmere and Inwood next door run on different rules entirely.
Cedarhurst details →Tree Service in Franklin Square
Unincorporated, Town of Hempstead rules, 40x100 lots. Wind is the risk here, not flooding. Isaias took canopy down all over the hamlet in 2020.
Franklin Square details →Tree Service in Elmont
On the Queens line, post-war Capes, and street trees that grew straight up into the PSEG lines. The curb strip goes through the Town of Hempstead permit path.
Elmont details →Valley Stream and the hamlets
The Village of Valley Stream has its own Chapter 90 tree law. Inside the village you need a permit to remove a tree on private property, not just the one at the curb. North and South Valley Stream are unincorporated and fall under the Town instead. We walk through all of that on the tree removal page.

We've picked up more than one job after a homeowner spent two weeks waiting on a crew from forty miles east that never showed. We're three miles up the road. If a limb's hanging over your driveway this afternoon, we can usually come look at it this afternoon, and if it can wait for daylight we'll tell you that on the phone.
