When is the best time to trim trees in East Northport?

Late fall through early spring works best for most tree species on Long Island. Trees are dormant during this period, which reduces stress and minimizes sap loss. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees specifically should be trimmed during dormant months to prevent oak wilt disease. We can assess your specific trees and recommend optimal timing based on species, health, and your property’s needs.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, complexity, and accessibility. Small trees typically range from $200-500, while large trees can cost $800-1500 or more. Factors affecting price include height, number of branches, proximity to structures, and cleanup requirements. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront. Emergency trimming may cost more due to urgency and potential hazards. The investment protects your property value and prevents costly damage from falling branches.
Improper trimming absolutely can damage trees, which is why hiring certified arborists matters. Common mistakes include topping, removing too much foliage at once, and making improper cuts that invite disease. We follow industry standards for pruning cuts and never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in one session. We cut just outside the branch collar to promote proper healing. Professional trimming actually strengthens trees by removing weak wood and improving structure.
Yes, we provide emergency tree services throughout East Northport and surrounding areas. Storm damage requires immediate attention when branches threaten structures, block roads, or create safety hazards. We prioritize emergency calls and can often respond within hours. We have experience with storm cleanup and know how to safely remove damaged branches without causing additional harm to trees or property. We work with insurance companies and document damage for claims when needed.
Proper trimming significantly improves storm resistance by removing weak, dead, or poorly attached branches before they become projectiles. We thin crowns to reduce wind resistance and eliminate crossing branches that can break during high winds. Regular maintenance trimming also improves overall tree structure and health, making trees more resilient. However, no trimming can guarantee storm survival – severe weather can damage even well-maintained trees. The goal is reducing risk and minimizing potential damage.
Yes, we carry full licensing and comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability and workers’ compensation. Our arborists hold proper certifications for tree care work. We provide proof of insurance before starting any job and ensure all work meets local regulations and safety standards. This protects both our workers and your property. Never hire uninsured tree services – the liability risks are too high when dealing with heavy equipment and potentially dangerous tree work.
