What Proper Tree Care Does

Your trees look better, your property stays safer, and you sleep better during storms. That’s what happens when branches are trimmed correctly and at the right time.

Overgrown trees don’t just look messy – they’re accidents waiting to happen. Dead branches fall. Heavy limbs crack under snow. Crowded canopies catch wind like sails during storms.

When your trees are properly maintained, they’re stronger, healthier, and actually add value to your property instead of threatening it. You get the shade and beauty you want without the constant worry about what might come down next.

Farmingville Tree Care Experts

We Know Long Island Trees

We’ve been taking care of trees in Farmingville and surrounding areas for years. We understand how salt air, nor’easters, and Long Island’s unique growing conditions affect your trees.

Our certified arborists know which branches need to go and which ones should stay. We’re fully licensed and insured, so you’re protected whether we’re trimming a small ornamental tree or managing large oaks near your house.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Trees

First, we assess your trees and identify what needs attention. Dead branches, crossing limbs, and growth that’s too close to structures or power lines get flagged for removal.

We explain what we’re doing and why before we start cutting. Every cut is made with a purpose – whether it’s removing a hazard, improving the tree’s structure, or opening up the canopy for better air circulation.

The work gets done efficiently with professional equipment. We clean up completely when we’re finished, so your property looks better than when we arrived. You get a clear explanation of what was done and any recommendations for future care.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Our Service

Every tree trimming job includes a full assessment of your tree’s health and structure. We remove dead, diseased, and damaged branches first – these are the ones most likely to fall and cause problems.

Crown thinning opens up dense areas to reduce wind resistance and improve light penetration. Crown raising removes lower branches that interfere with walkways, driveways, or structures. Crown reduction carefully reduces the overall size of trees that have outgrown their space.

All debris gets removed from your property. We don’t just pile brush at the curb and leave – everything gets hauled away. You also get recommendations for ongoing care to keep your trees healthy between professional visits.

When is the best time to trim trees in Farmingville?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best window for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they’re less stressed by pruning, and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. However, dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of season since they’re always a safety hazard. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, oaks should be pruned in winter to avoid oak wilt disease. We can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing for each one.

How much does tree trimming cost in Farmingville?

Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and accessibility. Small ornamental trees might cost a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees requiring extensive work can cost significantly more. Height, proximity to power lines or structures, and the amount of material to be removed all factor into pricing. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific trees and discussing your goals. Emergency work typically costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular pruning actually saves money long-term.

Will trimming hurt my trees or make them grow back thicker?

Proper pruning actually improves tree health when done correctly. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and not removing more than 25% of the canopy in a single year. “Topping” or cutting branches back to stubs does cause problematic regrowth, but that’s not proper pruning. Professional trimming removes specific branches to improve structure, eliminate hazards, and promote healthy growth patterns. Trees that are pruned correctly are stronger, healthier, and less likely to have problems during storms. The goal is working with the tree’s natural growth pattern, not against it.

Do you handle trees near power lines?

We can trim trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island since they have specific protocols for utility line clearance. For trees that are near but not touching lines, we can safely trim them while maintaining proper clearance distances. Safety is always the priority – we never take chances with electrical hazards. If you’re concerned about trees and power lines on your property, we can assess the situation and recommend the safest approach.

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 3-5 years, but the actual trimming frequency depends on the species, age, and condition of each tree. Fast-growing trees may need attention more often, while slow-growing species can go longer between prunings. Young trees often need more frequent pruning to establish good structure. Dead branches should be removed as soon as they’re noticed. After storms, it’s wise to have trees inspected for damage even if no major pruning is needed. Regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than waiting until problems develop.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects both you and our crew during tree work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Tree work involves significant risks – heavy equipment, working at height, and dealing with large branches under tension. Hiring uninsured tree services puts your property and finances at risk if something goes wrong. Our insurance coverage gives you peace of mind that you’re protected if there’s an accident or property damage during the work.
