Trees That Enhance, Not Endanger Your Property

You want trees that add value to your property without keeping you awake during storms. Professional tree trimming gives you exactly that – healthy trees that look great and stay strong when weather hits.

Proper trimming removes dead branches before they fall, opens up blocked views and sunlight, and keeps trees from growing into power lines or too close to your home. Your trees stay healthy, your property stays safe, and you stop worrying about what might happen next time the wind picks up.

When trees are maintained correctly, they become an asset instead of a liability. Better curb appeal, lower insurance risks, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing a professional handled the job right.

Tree Trimming Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

The process starts with a free assessment of your trees and property. Our arborist identifies which branches need removal, explains why, and gives you a clear 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 randomly, but making strategic cuts that promote tree health and achieve your goals. Dead, diseased, or dangerous branches come off first, followed by selective pruning for shape and clearance.

Cleanup is part of our service. All branches and debris get removed from your property, leaving you with healthier trees and a clean yard. You get trees that look better, grow stronger, and pose fewer risks to your home.

When is the best time to trim trees on Long Island?

Late fall through early spring is typically ideal for most tree species on Long Island, when trees are dormant and less stressed by pruning. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Certain species like maples are best pruned in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. Oak trees should avoid pruning during April through June to prevent oak wilt disease. A certified arborist can determine the optimal timing based on your specific tree species and condition.
Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, species, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees under 25 feet typically cost less than larger mature trees that require specialized equipment. Trees near power lines or buildings require extra safety measures that affect pricing. Emergency storm damage work may have different rates than routine maintenance. The best approach is getting a free estimate that accounts for your specific situation, tree condition, and access requirements.
Small branches under 2 inches in diameter can often be safely removed by homeowners with proper tools and technique. However, larger branches, tall trees, or trees near power lines require professional equipment and training. Improper cutting can permanently damage tree health, create safety hazards, or cause expensive property damage. Professional arborists have the insurance, equipment, and expertise to handle complex situations safely. For anything beyond basic small branch removal, professional service is the safer and more cost-effective choice.
Proper tree trimming significantly reduces storm damage risk by removing dead, weak, or poorly attached branches before they fall. Thinning dense canopies reduces wind resistance, making trees less likely to uproot or lose major limbs. However, no pruning can guarantee trees will survive severe weather events like hurricanes or ice storms. Regular professional maintenance is your best defense against preventable tree-related property damage. Well-maintained trees are much more likely to weather normal storms without causing problems.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 2-3 years, with trimming as needed based on growth rate and condition. Fast-growing species may need annual attention, while slow-growing trees might go 4-5 years between major prunings. Young trees often need more frequent shaping to establish proper structure. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately when noticed. Regular inspection by a certified arborist helps determine the right schedule for your specific trees and property conditions.
Yes, we provide emergency response for storm-damaged trees that pose immediate safety hazards. This includes trees or large branches that have fallen on homes, cars, or are blocking driveways and roads. Trees leaning dangerously after storm damage also qualify for emergency service. Response time depends on the severity of the situation and current demand, but safety hazards receive priority scheduling. For non-urgent storm cleanup, regular scheduling applies once immediate dangers are addressed.
