Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed, with general liability and workers' compensation insurance; certificates on request.
Do you have a crane?
Yes, we own cranes and bucket trucks for large and hard-to-reach trees.
Do you need a license to cut down trees?
Big Brothers Tree Service is licensed and insured. Licensing rules for tree contractors vary by county, town and village on Long Island, so whichever company you hire, ask for its license number and certificates of liability insurance and workers' compensation before work starts.
How much does it cost to move a tree?
Moving or transplanting a tree is priced per job and depends mostly on the tree's size, since the root ball grows with the trunk. Small young trees can sometimes be moved by hand at modest cost, while larger trees need specialized equipment and often cost more than removing and replanting a new tree. Ask us whether a transplant is realistic before planning on it.
How much does it cost to haul away tree branches?
Hauling away branches is usually included when we trim or remove a tree. For a pile you cut yourself, the price depends on its size and whether it can be chipped on site; a small pile is a modest charge, and larger loads cost more because of dump fees. Many towns also offer seasonal brush pickup, so check with your town.
