Everything Your Trees Need Under One Roof

You get comprehensive tree care including trimming, pruning, removal, and emergency storm damage response. Our services cover routine maintenance that keeps trees healthy and prevents problems, as well as corrective work when issues arise.

Emergency response is available when storms damage trees or create immediate safety hazards. We understand that tree emergencies don’t wait for business hours, especially during Long Island’s storm season.

Our arborists also provide tree health assessments, helping you make informed decisions about which trees to preserve, which need treatment, and which pose risks to your property. This expertise helps Islip homeowners avoid costly mistakes while maintaining beautiful, safe landscapes.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations in Islip?

We prioritize emergency calls involving safety hazards like trees on structures, blocking roads, or threatening power lines. During major storms, we typically respond within 24 hours, though we’ll get to life-threatening situations much faster. For routine emergencies outside of major weather events, we can usually provide same-day or next-day service. We keep emergency equipment ready and maintain relationships with local crews to handle the increased demand that comes with nor’easters and severe weather that frequently impacts Long Island.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning, and which does my property need?

Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance and basic maintenance, while pruning is more precise work focused on tree health, structure, and safety. Most Islip properties benefit from both depending on the situation. Pruning removes dead, diseased, or poorly positioned branches to improve tree health and reduce hazards. Trimming maintains shape and controls size. Our arborists assess each tree individually because Long Island’s coastal conditions create specific challenges like salt damage and wind stress that require targeted approaches rather than generic cutting.

Do you handle permits required for tree removal in Islip?

We help guide you through Islip’s tree removal requirements, though permit responsibility typically falls to the property owner. Many tree removals don’t require permits, especially for dead, diseased, or hazardous trees. However, Islip has specific regulations about removing healthy trees over certain sizes. We’ll assess your situation and let you know if permits are needed, provide documentation to support your application, and ensure our work complies with local regulations. This saves you from potential fines and ensures the removal is done legally and properly.

How do you protect my property during tree removal near houses or structures?

We use specialized rigging equipment and controlled dismantling techniques to remove trees in sections rather than dropping entire trees. This approach is essential in Islip’s established neighborhoods where homes are close together and space is limited. Our crew uses ropes, pulleys, and precise cutting techniques to lower branches and trunk sections safely away from structures. We also protect landscaping, driveways, and other features with plywood and tarps when necessary. Our insurance covers property damage, but our primary focus is preventing damage through proper technique and equipment.

What's the best time of year for tree maintenance on Long Island?

Late fall through early spring is generally ideal for most tree work because trees are dormant and there’s less stress on the tree. However, emergency work and hazard removal happens year-round regardless of season. Dead or diseased branches should be removed immediately to prevent spread of problems. For Islip properties, we often recommend pre-storm season maintenance in late spring to address any winter damage and prepare trees for summer storms. Oak trees have specific timing requirements to prevent disease transmission, so we schedule that work during appropriate windows.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed versus just trimmed?

Several factors determine whether removal is necessary: structural integrity, disease extent, location relative to structures, and overall tree health. Trees with significant trunk damage, extensive root problems, or severe disease often require removal for safety. However, many trees that look problematic can be saved with proper pruning and care. Our certified arborists assess the tree’s condition, consider your property’s specific situation, and provide honest recommendations. We’d rather maintain a healthy tree than remove it unnecessarily, but we won’t compromise safety to save a tree that poses real risks to your property or family.
