We Know Long Island Trees

Long Island Best Tree Service has been handling tree care across Suffolk County for years. We understand how coastal weather affects your trees and what species thrive in our sandy soil.

We know the difference between a tree that needs selective pruning and one that’s becoming a liability. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners wait too long or try to handle big jobs themselves.

Every crew member is trained in proper climbing techniques and safety protocols. We carry full insurance because tree work has real risks, and we take them seriously.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Tree Trimming

We start with an assessment of each tree’s health, structure, and risk factors. Not every tree needs the same approach, and we explain what we’re seeing before we start cutting.

The actual trimming follows arborist standards for your tree species. We remove dead, diseased, or structurally weak branches first. Then we address clearance issues around your house, power lines, or other structures.

Clean-up is part of the job. We chip branches on-site when possible and remove all debris. You don’t get stuck with a pile of brush in your yard or have to figure out how to dispose of large limbs yourself.

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

Most trees benefit from trimming during dormant season, typically late fall through early spring. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes sap loss. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species like maples bleed heavily if trimmed in late winter, so we adjust timing accordingly. Emergency situations obviously can’t wait for optimal timing, and healthy trees can handle necessary trimming year-round when done properly.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, accessibility, and complexity of the work required. A basic trim on a smaller tree might run a few hundred dollars, while large trees requiring bucket truck access or complex rigging can cost significantly more. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why. Emergency calls typically carry premium pricing due to the urgent response required. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing property damage that would cost thousands to repair.
Proper trimming actually improves tree health and promotes stronger growth patterns. We follow industry standards for pruning cuts and never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in a single session. Incorrect trimming techniques like topping or flush cuts can seriously damage trees, which is why professional knowledge matters. Our cuts are made at the proper angle and location to encourage natural healing. Most trees respond to good trimming with improved structure and reduced wind resistance, making them safer long-term.
Most routine tree trimming doesn’t require permits, but removal of large trees or work near wetlands might need approval from Brookhaven Town. We’re familiar with local regulations and can advise you if permits are necessary for your specific situation. Tree work near power lines requires coordination with PSEG Long Island for safety reasons. If your trees are part of a homeowner’s association, check your bylaws as some communities have restrictions on tree work. We handle permit applications when required and know which situations trigger regulatory review.
We can trim trees near power lines, but safety protocols are critical. For trees directly touching or very close to lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island who may need to temporarily shut off power. Our crew is trained in electrical hazard awareness and maintains proper clearance distances during all work. We never attempt to move or work around live wires ourselves. Many homeowners don’t realize that even small branches can conduct electricity when wet, so professional handling of these situations protects both our crew and your property from electrical hazards.
Complete cleanup is included in our tree trimming service. We chip smaller branches on-site when possible, which creates mulch you can use in your landscaping if desired. Larger logs can be cut into firewood lengths if you want to keep them, or we’ll remove everything from your property. We rake up debris and leave your yard clean. Some companies charge extra for cleanup or expect homeowners to handle disposal themselves, but we consider debris removal an essential part of the job since most people don’t have ways to dispose of large amounts of tree waste.
