What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

You’re not just cutting branches. You’re preventing the kind of damage that costs thousands when storms hit Garden City South.

Properly trimmed trees resist wind damage better. They don’t drop limbs on your roof, car, or power lines. The weight distribution stays balanced, so your mature oaks and maples can handle whatever Long Island weather throws at them.

Your property value stays protected too. Overgrown or poorly maintained trees make your home look neglected. Professional trimming keeps everything looking intentional and well-cared-for. Plus, healthy trees actually increase your property value more than most other landscaping investments.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

First, we assess your trees. Not every tree needs the same approach. We look at species, age, health, and proximity to structures. Then we explain what needs to be done and why.

The actual trimming follows proper arborist techniques. We remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches first. Then we address structural issues like crossing branches or poor weight distribution. Finally, we shape for aesthetics while maintaining the tree’s natural form.

Cleanup is part of the job. We don’t leave you with a yard full of branches. Everything gets chipped, hauled away, or cut into manageable pieces if you want firewood. Your property looks better than when we arrived.

What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

Every tree trimming job includes a complete assessment by our certified arborists. We don’t just cut what looks overgrown. We identify potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Our service covers crown cleaning, crown thinning, and crown raising depending on what your trees need. Crown cleaning removes dead and weak branches. Crown thinning reduces density to improve air flow and light penetration. Crown raising lifts lower branches away from structures, walkways, and vehicles.

We also handle specialty situations common in Garden City South. Trees growing too close to power lines, branches threatening your roof, or storm-damaged trees that need careful assessment. Our equipment handles jobs from small ornamental trees to massive old-growth specimens that define your property’s character.

When is the best time to trim trees in Garden City South?

Late fall through early spring works best for most trees in our area. This dormant season timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes disease transmission. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm-damaged trees obviously can’t wait for ideal timing either. Some species like maples bleed sap heavily if pruned in late winter, so we adjust timing based on what you have growing on your property.
Tree trimming costs depend on size, species, location, and complexity of the job. Small ornamental trees might run a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees near structures can cost significantly more. We provide free estimates because every situation is different. Factors like accessibility, proximity to power lines, and tree health all affect pricing. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing storm damage and maintaining property values.
Small branches below head height are generally safe for homeowners to handle. Anything requiring a ladder, chainsaw, or near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper cuts can permanently damage trees, and the safety risks are serious. Many homeowners underestimate how heavy branches are and how unpredictably they fall. Plus, our insurance covers any accidents or property damage during the work. DIY tree work often costs more in the long run when you factor in equipment rental, disposal, and potential mistakes.
Most mature trees benefit from professional assessment every 3-5 years, but this varies significantly by species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees like willows might need attention every 2-3 years, while slow-growing oaks can go longer between services. Young trees often need more frequent shaping to establish good structure. We recommend annual inspections for any trees near your house, especially after major storms. Regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming major problems.
Proper trimming significantly reduces storm damage risk, but it’s not a guarantee against severe weather. We remove weak, dead, and poorly attached branches that are most likely to fail in high winds. Thinning the crown reduces wind resistance, and balancing the weight distribution helps trees flex rather than break. However, no amount of trimming can protect against tornadoes or extreme weather events. The goal is to make your trees as resilient as possible while maintaining their health and appearance.
Complete cleanup is included in our service. We chip smaller branches, cut larger pieces into manageable sections, and haul everything away unless you specifically want to keep some material for firewood. We also rake up loose debris and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Some homeowners like to keep wood chips for mulch, which we’re happy to accommodate. Our goal is to complete the job entirely, not leave you with additional work or disposal costs.
