Professional Tree Service Lake Success

Your Property Protected, Your Peace Restored

You need trees that enhance your property, not threaten it. When branches hang over your roof or dead limbs create hazards, every storm becomes a worry. You’re looking at potential damage to your home, cars, or worse—injury to your family.

Professional tree care eliminates these risks before they become expensive problems. Your property value stays protected. Your insurance stays happy. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing those overhead branches aren’t going to come crashing down during the next nor’easter.

The right tree service means your landscape works for you, not against you. Healthy trees that are properly maintained, dangerous ones removed safely, and your property looking exactly how you want it to look.

Everything Your Trees Need, All in One Call

Tree removal handles the dangerous ones—dead trees, storm-damaged limbs, or trees that have outgrown their space. We use professional rigging techniques to remove trees safely, even in tight spaces between houses or near power lines.

Tree trimming keeps healthy trees in good shape. Proper pruning improves tree health, prevents storm damage, and maintains the appearance of your landscape. Our arborists know how to trim without damaging the tree’s natural growth patterns.

Emergency tree service means you’re covered when storms hit. Fallen trees blocking driveways, branches on roofs, or hazardous limbs ready to fall—we respond quickly to make your property safe again. Stump grinding eliminates those leftover stumps that collect weeds and create tripping hazards.

How much does tree removal cost in Lake Success?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while large trees near structures or power lines can cost several thousand. The height, trunk diameter, and accessibility all affect pricing. Most companies charge more for emergency services or difficult removals that require special equipment. Long Island Best Tree Service provides free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. The estimate includes removal, cleanup, and debris disposal—no hidden fees or surprise charges later.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Lake Success?

Lake Success has specific tree ordinances that may require permits for removing certain trees, especially larger ones or those in front yards. The requirements often depend on the tree’s size, species, and location on your property. Some emergency situations, like storm-damaged trees posing immediate danger, may have different rules. It’s worth checking with the town before removing significant trees to avoid potential fines. Many tree service companies can help navigate the permit process or advise whether your specific situation requires one. When in doubt, a quick call to the building department can clarify what’s needed for your particular tree removal.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

Emergency response times depend on the severity of the situation and current demand, but we prioritize dangerous situations. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking a road, or poses immediate safety risks, we typically respond within hours. Less urgent situations—like a tree that’s leaning but not immediately dangerous—might take a day or two. Storm seasons obviously create higher demand and longer wait times. The key is calling as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting. Many tree emergencies get worse over time, and early intervention often means faster, less expensive solutions.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. Pruning typically refers to selective removal of specific branches for tree health—removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve the tree’s structure and growth. Trimming usually means cutting back branches for appearance, clearance, or size control. Professional arborists focus on pruning techniques that benefit the tree’s long-term health while achieving your aesthetic goals. Poor trimming can actually harm trees by removing too much foliage or making improper cuts. The best approach combines both concepts: maintaining tree health while achieving the appearance and clearance you need for your property.

Are you insured and what does that cover?

Professional tree services should carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Liability insurance protects your property if something goes wrong during the job—if equipment damages your house, driveway, or landscaping. Workers’ compensation covers the crew if someone gets injured on your property. Without proper insurance, you could be liable for accidents or damage. Always ask to see current insurance certificates before work begins. We provide this documentation readily because we understand the risks involved in tree work. The insurance should be sufficient to cover potential property damage, which can be substantial when dealing with large trees and heavy equipment.

When is the best time of year for tree trimming?

The ideal timing depends on the tree species and your goals. Late fall through early spring is generally best for most trees because they’re dormant and won’t experience growth stress from pruning. Winter trimming also makes it easier to see the tree’s structure without leaves. However, some trees have specific timing requirements—oak trees shouldn’t be pruned during certain months due to disease risk, while fruit trees have optimal pruning windows for production. Emergency situations obviously can’t wait for ideal timing. Dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. A certified arborist can advise the best timing for your specific trees and situation.
