Professional Tree Care Services

Your Trees Stay Healthy and Beautiful

You get trees that look better, live longer, and don’t threaten your property when storms hit. Proper trimming isn’t just about cutting branches – it’s about understanding how each cut affects the tree’s health and growth pattern.

When we finish, your trees have better structure, improved air circulation, and reduced weight on vulnerable limbs. You’ll notice the difference immediately, but the real value shows up years later when your trees stay strong through storms that damage your neighbors’ neglected ones.

No more worrying about dead branches falling on your car or overgrown limbs scraping your roof. Your property looks cleaner, your views open up where you want them, and your trees actually thrive instead of just surviving.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess each tree’s health, structure, and specific needs. Not every tree gets the same treatment – we look at species, age, condition, and your goals for the property. This evaluation determines our trimming approach and timing.

Next, we remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches using proper pruning cuts that heal cleanly. We thin overcrowded areas to improve air circulation and light penetration, then shape the canopy for better structure and appearance. Every cut follows arboricultural standards that promote long-term tree health.

Finally, we clean up completely – chipping branches, removing debris, and leaving your property spotless. You get a brief walkthrough of what we did and recommendations for ongoing care. The whole process typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on the number and size of trees.

Our tree trimming service includes proper pruning cuts, deadwood removal, canopy thinning, and structural pruning to reduce storm damage risk. We also handle crown raising to clear buildings or walkways and crown reduction for trees that have outgrown their space.

Every job comes with complete cleanup – we chip branches on-site when possible and haul away all debris. You don’t deal with piles of brush or scattered leaves. We also inspect for signs of disease or pest problems and let you know if your trees need additional attention.

Malverne’s mature tree canopy requires experienced care, especially with the mix of native oaks, maples, and ornamental species common in the area. We understand local growing conditions and seasonal timing that affects when different species should be pruned for optimal results.

When is the best time to trim trees in Malverne?

Late fall through early spring works best for most tree species in our area. Trees are dormant, so pruning stress is minimized and wound healing improves when growth resumes. We avoid pruning oaks during April through October to prevent oak wilt disease transmission. Emergency trimming for safety hazards can happen anytime, but routine maintenance should follow seasonal timing. Each species has specific preferences – maples do better with late summer pruning while flowering trees should be trimmed right after blooming to preserve next year’s flowers.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, number of trees, accessibility, and complexity of the work. Small ornamental trees might cost $200-400 while large mature oaks can run $800-1500 or more. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what’s included so you know what you’re paying for. Factors like proximity to power lines, tight spaces requiring specialized equipment, or extensive deadwood removal affect pricing. The investment pays off through improved tree health, reduced storm damage risk, and enhanced property value.
Small branches under 2 inches diameter on young trees are generally safe for homeowners to handle with proper tools and techniques. Anything larger, higher than you can reach from the ground, or near power lines requires professional equipment and expertise. Improper pruning cuts can permanently damage trees, create safety hazards, or lead to expensive removal later. Certified arborists understand tree biology, proper cutting techniques, and safety protocols that prevent injury and property damage. The cost of professional service is usually less than dealing with mistakes from DIY attempts.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 3-5 years, with actual trimming needed every 5-7 years depending on species and growth rate. Fast-growing trees like willows or silver maples may need attention every 2-3 years, while slow-growing oaks might go 7-10 years between major prunings. Young trees require more frequent shaping to develop good structure. Dead branches should be removed promptly regardless of schedule. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early and determine if trimming is needed ahead of schedule.
Proper trimming significantly reduces storm damage risk by removing weak, dead, or poorly attached branches before they fail. We thin dense canopies to reduce wind resistance and eliminate branch conflicts that cause breakage. Structural pruning develops stronger branch attachments and better weight distribution. However, no amount of trimming can guarantee trees will survive severe storms – the goal is reducing risk and minimizing damage when extreme weather hits. Regular maintenance keeps trees healthier overall, which improves their ability to withstand stress from wind, ice, and heavy snow.
Complete cleanup is included in every tree trimming job. We chip branches on-site when space allows and haul away all debris, including leaves and small twigs. You won’t find brush piles or scattered debris on your property when we finish. We also rake and blow clean around work areas to leave everything neat. The only thing we typically leave behind is mulch from chipped branches if you want it for landscaping – otherwise that gets hauled away too. Our goal is leaving your property cleaner than when we arrived.
