1. When did New Yorkers want tree removal the most?
Interest in tree removal in New York State peaked in July 2025 due to a cluster of severe storms that hit the entire state, paired with extreme heat waves. The heat stressed many already-weakened trees, while the storms caused a massive amount of fallen trees and utility poles, mainly in Central New York.

2. What does tree removal cost?
Searches around “cost tree removal,” “cost of tree removal,” “average tree removal price” and more are some of the most common searches on the list. Every job is different: factors such as tree height, species, health, distance to the house or power lines, equipment needs (like cranes or bucket trucks), permits, and cleanup all affect final price.
A 50‑foot oak leaning over power lines, for example, may require crane-assisted removal, traffic control, and extensive debris handling, while a 20‑foot pine in an open yard can often be handled with smaller crews and equipment. That is why reputable companies avoid one-size-fits-all pricing and instead quote each job individually based on risk, access, and the homeowner’s goals.
3. Tree removal urgency
“Emergency tree removal” appears prominently in both top and rising Google queries, showing that many searches happen right after storms or when a tree suddenly looks unsafe. Homeowners are often reacting to fallen limbs on roofs, trees tangled in power lines, blocked driveways, or trees that start to lean or crack after high winds and heat stress.
This urgency also explains why searches spike in tight windows around major weather events: people are not casually researching; they are trying to solve a dangerous problem as quickly as possible.
4. Tree types
Google Trends data shows meaningful interest in both “large tree removal” and “small tree removal,” along with related entities like “tree stump” and “crane.” That suggests homeowners already understand that big, complex trees and small ornamental trees are different jobs with different risks and costs.
It reinforces the idea that tailored pricing protects customers from overpaying for smaller jobs while ensuring serious hazards are handled with the right equipment
5. “Tree removal near me”
Queries like “tree removal near me,” “tree service near me,” “kingston tree removal,” “tree removal ulster county,” and “tree removal rhinebeck” show strong local intent. People want someone nearby who understands local ordinances, permitting rules, and how regional weather and soil conditions affect different tree species.
