Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your trees and identify what needs attention. Dead branches, crossing limbs, growth that’s too close to structures. We explain what we’re doing and why before we start cutting.

Then we trim strategically. Not just hacking away, but making precise cuts that promote healthy growth and maintain the tree’s natural shape. We use proper equipment to reach high branches safely.

Finally, we clean up completely. All branches, leaves, and debris get removed from your property. You don’t lift a finger or deal with the mess. Your trees look professional, and your yard stays clean.

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

Late fall through early spring works best for most Long Island trees, when they’re dormant and won’t lose sap from cuts. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. We avoid trimming during active growth periods in late spring and early summer unless it’s an emergency situation. Weather conditions matter too – we won’t trim when it’s too windy or wet to work safely.
Most residential tree trimming jobs in East Rockaway range from $300 to $1,500, depending on tree size, number of trees, and complexity of the work. Small ornamental trees cost less, while large oaks or maples near power lines cost more. We provide written estimates after seeing your specific situation because every property is different. Emergency work costs more than scheduled maintenance, so regular trimming actually saves money long-term.
Small branches under 2 inches diameter are usually safe for homeowners to handle with proper tools. Anything larger, higher than you can reach from the ground, or near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper cuts can kill trees or create hazardous weak points. Plus, tree work injuries are serious – emergency room visits cost more than hiring an arborist. If you’re questioning whether you should do it yourself, that’s usually your answer.
Proper trimming actually promotes healthier growth by removing competing branches and allowing better air circulation. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and not removing more than 25% of the canopy in one season. Bad trimming – like topping or leaving stubs – definitely hurts trees and makes them more susceptible to disease and storm damage. That’s why technique matters more than just having a chainsaw.
Complete cleanup is included in every job. We remove all cut branches, leaves, and debris from your property – you don’t deal with any of the mess. Larger branches get cut into manageable pieces for removal. We can either haul everything away or chip it into mulch for your garden if you prefer. Your yard looks cleaner after we’re done than when we started.
Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for all our crew members. We’re licensed for tree care services in Nassau County and follow all local regulations for tree work. You get certificates of insurance before we start work if requested. This protects both you and us if something unexpected happens. Never hire uninsured tree services – you could be liable for injuries or property damage.
