What Proper Tree Trimming Does

When your trees are properly trimmed, you sleep better during storms. No more worrying about branches crashing through your roof or taking out power lines.

Your property looks intentional instead of overgrown. Sunlight reaches your lawn again. Your gutters stay clear. Your trees actually live longer because they’re not fighting disease or carrying dead weight.

Most importantly, you’re not dealing with emergency tree removal after the next big storm. Regular trimming catches problems before they become expensive disasters that could cost thousands in property damage.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Trees

First, our arborist evaluates your trees and explains exactly what needs to be done and why. No surprises, no upselling on work you don’t need.

We protect your property with tarps and barriers before any cutting begins. Our crew removes branches systematically, starting with dead or hazardous wood, then shaping for health and appearance.

Everything gets cleaned up the same day. Branches are chipped or removed completely. Your lawn gets raked. We do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you’re satisfied with the work.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Our Service

Our tree trimming service covers everything from light pruning to major crown reduction. We remove dead, diseased, or dangerous branches first, then shape your trees for optimal health and appearance.

Every job includes emergency tree service if storms damage your newly trimmed trees within 30 days. We also provide guidance on ongoing tree care and maintenance schedules.

Glenwood Landing’s waterfront location means your trees face unique challenges from salt air and coastal storms. We adjust our trimming techniques based on your specific location and the tree species in your yard.

When is the best time to trim trees in Glenwood Landing?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they handle pruning better and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves. We avoid trimming during active growing season unless it’s for safety reasons. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees specifically should be trimmed in winter to prevent oak wilt disease.

How much does professional tree trimming cost on Long Island?

Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees typically run $200-400, medium trees $400-800, and large trees $800-1500 or more. Trees near power lines or buildings cost more due to safety requirements. We provide free written estimates that break down exactly what work will be performed. Emergency storm damage removal costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular trimming saves money long-term.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Yes, complete cleanup is included in every tree trimming job. We chip smaller branches on-site when possible and haul away larger wood. Your gutters get cleared of any debris, and we rake the work area clean. We bring tarps to protect your landscaping and driveway during the work. The only thing you might notice afterward is that your trees look better and your property is safer.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Tree work is inherently dangerous, especially around homes and power lines, so proper insurance protects both you and our crew. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Never hire uninsured tree services – if someone gets hurt or your property gets damaged, you could be held liable for costs that insurance should cover.

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

Proper pruning actually improves tree health when done correctly by certified arborists. We follow industry standards for cut placement and timing to promote healing. Topping or excessive pruning does cause problematic regrowth, but selective trimming removes only what’s necessary for safety and health. Most trees need 10-25% of their canopy removed at most. We never “top” trees or use climbing spikes on living trees, both practices that damage tree health.

Can you trim trees near power lines safely?

We handle trees near power lines regularly, but approach each situation carefully. For trees touching or very close to live wires, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island for safety. Our crew is trained in electrical hazard awareness and uses proper equipment. We never work on trees in direct contact with power lines without utility company involvement. However, we can safely trim trees that are simply near power lines but not touching them, which prevents future contact and outages.
