Tree Trimming Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, a certified arborist evaluates your trees and identifies what needs attention. You get a detailed explanation of which branches should be removed and why, plus a written estimate with no surprises.

On service day, our crew arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We trim according to proper arborist standards, not just cutting wherever it’s convenient. Dead, diseased, and structurally weak branches get removed first, followed by any growth that poses risks to structures or utilities.

Cleanup happens as we work, not after. You end up with healthier trees, a safer property, and no mess to deal with. Our crew does a final walkthrough to ensure you’re completely satisfied before considering the job complete.

When is the best time to trim trees in Flower Hill?

Late fall through early spring works best for most Long Island trees, when they’re dormant and won’t be stressed by pruning. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees specifically should be pruned during dormant months to prevent oak wilt disease. Storm-damaged trees obviously need immediate attention no matter when damage occurs. A certified arborist can determine the optimal timing for your specific trees based on species, health, and current conditions.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, complexity, and accessibility. Small trees typically run $200-500, medium trees $500-1200, and large mature trees $1200-3000 or more. Emergency work and difficult access situations cost more due to additional equipment and safety requirements. The investment protects property values that often exceed $1-2 million in Flower Hill, making professional tree care a smart financial decision. You’ll get a detailed written estimate before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Complete cleanup is included in every tree trimming job. Our crew removes all branches, twigs, and debris from your property, leaving your landscape cleaner than when we arrived. Large branches get cut into manageable pieces and hauled away. Smaller debris gets chipped on-site when possible, or removed entirely based on your preference. You won’t find wood chips scattered across your lawn or branches left behind in flower beds. The final walkthrough ensures everything meets your standards before our crew considers the job finished.
Yes, Long Island Best Tree Service carries full licensing and comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability and workers compensation. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property or if equipment causes accidental damage. Many tree services operate without proper insurance, leaving homeowners exposed to significant financial risk. You’ll receive proof of insurance before work begins. Given property values in Flower Hill, working with properly insured professionals isn’t optional – it’s essential protection for your investment.
Trees near power lines require specialized training and equipment for safe removal. Our crew is trained in electrical hazard awareness and uses proper techniques to avoid contact with live wires. However, if branches are already touching or very close to power lines, the utility company may need to de-energize lines temporarily. PSEG Long Island handles some utility line clearance directly, but private property tree work remains the homeowner’s responsibility. Our arborists coordinate with utility companies when necessary to ensure everyone’s safety during the trimming process.
Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health by removing dead, diseased, and weak branches that drain energy from healthy growth. Certified arborists make cuts at the correct locations using techniques that promote healing and prevent decay. Poor pruning by inexperienced crews can severely damage trees, but professional arborists understand tree biology and make cuts that work with natural healing processes. Over-pruning is avoided – generally no more than 25% of a tree’s canopy should be removed in a single season. The goal is healthier, safer trees that will thrive for decades.
