Great Neck Gardens Arborists

We Know Long Island Trees

We’ve been handling tree care throughout Nassau County for years. We understand how coastal weather affects your trees and what species thrive in our specific climate.

Our team consists of licensed arborists who live and work in this area. We’re not a national chain trying to apply generic techniques to Long Island conditions. We know which trees need extra attention before hurricane season and how salt air impacts growth patterns.

You’re working with professionals who are fully insured and equipped to handle everything from routine maintenance to emergency storm damage. We show up when we say we will and clean up completely when the job is done.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a property assessment to identify which trees need attention and what type of trimming will benefit them most. Every tree species has different requirements, and timing matters for optimal health and growth.

Our arborists remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches first. Then we focus on structural pruning to improve the tree’s shape and reduce weight on heavy limbs. We never top trees or use techniques that compromise long-term health.

Safety equipment and proper cutting techniques protect both your property and our crew. We work systematically from top to bottom, making precise cuts that promote healthy healing. All debris gets chipped or removed completely – you won’t find branches scattered around your yard when we’re finished.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

You get a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just cutting branches. Our tree trimming includes crown cleaning to remove deadwood, crown thinning to reduce density, and crown raising to clear structures or improve sightlines.

We handle the technical aspects that most homeowners don’t think about. Proper cut placement to prevent disease entry. Weight distribution to reduce storm damage risk. Growth direction management to keep trees from interfering with power lines or buildings.

Great Neck Gardens properties often have mature trees that require specialized attention. We understand the balance between maintaining the tree’s natural shape and addressing safety concerns. Complete cleanup is standard – we’re not leaving you with a mess to deal with after we finish the actual tree work.

When is the best time to trim trees in Great Neck Gardens?

Late fall through early spring is typically ideal for most tree species in our area. Trees are dormant during this period, which reduces stress and minimizes sap loss. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees like maples bleed heavily if pruned in late winter, so timing varies by species. We can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing for each one.
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the work required. Small trees typically run $200-500, while large mature trees can cost $800-1500 or more. Emergency work and difficult access situations increase pricing. We provide free written estimates that break down exactly what work will be performed. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing storm damage and maintaining property values.
Basic pruning of small branches is manageable for most homeowners, but anything requiring a ladder or chainsaw should be left to professionals. Improper cutting techniques can permanently damage trees or create safety hazards. Large branches can fall unpredictably and cause serious injury or property damage. Professional arborists have the training, equipment, and insurance to handle tree work safely. The cost of fixing botched DIY tree work usually exceeds the original professional service cost.
Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, though this varies significantly by species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees may need attention every 2-3 years, while slow-growing species can go longer between services. Young trees require more frequent pruning to establish proper structure. We recommend annual inspections to identify potential problems early, even if major trimming isn’t needed every year.
We take extensive precautions to protect your property during trimming work. We use drop zones, rigging systems, and protective materials to control where branches fall. Lawn damage is typically minimal and temporary – grass recovers quickly from equipment traffic. We’re fully insured for any accidental damage that might occur. Proper planning and experienced crews minimize risks significantly compared to inexperienced operators or DIY attempts.
Yes, we provide emergency tree service throughout Great Neck Gardens and Nassau County when storms cause tree damage. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, though response times depend on the severity of the situation and call volume. We can safely remove branches from roofs, clear blocked driveways, and address immediate safety hazards. For insurance claims, we provide detailed documentation of the damage and work performed. It’s best to have our contact information saved before you need emergency service.
