What Our Customers Are Saying
Our reputation is built on quality work and honest service. Here is what homeowners across the area have to say.
Had a massive oak taken down that was leaning toward our house. The crew was careful, professional, and cleaned up everything. The yard looked better than before they started. Highly recommend.
Second Nature removed three dead ash trees and ground all the stumps in one day. Prompt, fair pricing, and the owners were on site the whole time. Will definitely call again.
A large hemlock fell during a nor'easter and blocked our driveway. Called Second Nature and they were out that same morning. Fast, professional, and the price was very reasonable for emergency work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tree removal costs vary based on tree size, location on your property, proximity to structures, and equipment needed. A small tree in an open yard costs less than a large oak near your home requiring crane work. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate, no-surprise price. Call (914) 391-5233 to schedule yours.
Many Westchester and Putnam County municipalities require permits for removing trees above a certain diameter. For example, some towns require permits for trees over 8 inches in diameter. Requirements vary by town and we stay current on local regulations. We advise you on what is needed during your free estimate.
Tree removal can be done safely year-round. Late fall and winter are often ideal because bare trees are lighter, the ground is firmer, and there is less impact on surrounding vegetation. However, hazardous or dead trees should be addressed immediately regardless of season.
