What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

You get a thorough assessment of each tree’s condition and specific needs. We remove dead, diseased, and structurally weak branches that pose risks to your property.

Crown thinning improves air circulation and reduces wind resistance. Crown raising clears branches from roofs, power lines, and walkways. We also handle vista pruning when you need to improve views or sunlight penetration.

Bay Shore’s coastal weather can be tough on trees. We understand how salt air and storm conditions affect different species, and we trim accordingly. Emergency tree service is available when storms leave you with dangerous hanging branches or partially fallen trees.

When is the best time to trim trees in Bay Shore?

Late fall through early spring works best for most trees, when they’re dormant and won’t stress from pruning. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm-damaged trees need attention right away to prevent further property damage. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees should be pruned during dormant season to prevent oak wilt disease. We can advise you on the optimal timing for your specific trees based on their species and condition.
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the work needed. Small trees might run a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees requiring extensive work can cost significantly more. Trees near power lines or structures require extra care and specialized equipment, which affects pricing. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific situation. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing property damage and extending your trees’ lifespan, which is much less expensive than emergency removal or replacing dead trees.
Small branches you can reach from the ground are generally safe for homeowners to handle. However, anything requiring a ladder, chainsaw work, or branches near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper pruning can permanently damage trees or create safety hazards. Plus, tree work involves serious injury risks – falling branches, chainsaw accidents, and falls from height send people to the hospital regularly. Professional arborists have the training, equipment, and insurance to handle the job safely while making cuts that promote healthy tree growth.
Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health when done correctly by trained arborists. We use proven techniques that promote healing and prevent disease entry points. However, inexperienced crews can cause permanent damage through improper cuts, over-pruning, or “topping” trees. As for your lawn and landscaping, we take precautions to protect your property during the work. We use drop zones, protective coverings, and careful rigging techniques to minimize impact. Professional crews clean up thoroughly and repair any minor damage that might occur during the process.
Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, though this varies by species and growing conditions. Faster-growing trees may need attention more frequently, while slow-growing species can go longer between services. Young trees often need more frequent pruning to establish proper structure. Bay Shore’s coastal environment and storm exposure may require more frequent maintenance than inland areas. We recommend annual inspections to identify developing problems early, even if major trimming isn’t needed every year.
Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations in Bay Shore, especially after storms when trees pose immediate dangers to people or property. This includes removing hanging branches, clearing fallen trees from driveways and roofs, and securing partially fallen trees that could cause further damage. We prioritize safety-critical situations first, then handle less urgent storm damage. Emergency work often costs more than scheduled maintenance due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved. Having our contact information before you need it can save valuable time when storms hit.
