What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

You get trees that can handle Long Island’s unpredictable weather without threatening your roof, car, or power lines. Proper trimming isn’t just about looks—though your property will definitely look better.

When we thin your tree crowns and remove deadwood, wind flows through instead of against your trees. That means fewer broken branches during storms and less chance of entire trees coming down when the next Nor’easter hits.

Your trees stay healthier too. Strategic pruning removes diseased branches before problems spread and opens up the canopy so sunlight and air can reach where they need to go. The result is stronger, more resilient trees that add value to your property instead of keeping you awake during every windstorm.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

First, we assess your trees to identify what actually needs attention. Not every tree needs aggressive pruning, and we won’t recommend work you don’t need. Our certified arborists look for dead branches, crossing limbs, and areas where strategic thinning will improve tree health and storm resistance.

During the trimming, we use proper techniques that promote healing and prevent disease. We make clean cuts at the right angles and never top trees or leave stubs that invite rot and pest problems. Each cut serves a purpose—whether it’s removing a hazard, improving tree structure, or enhancing airflow through the canopy.

Cleanup is included and thorough. We chip branches, remove all debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You won’t be dealing with piles of brush or scattered twigs for weeks after we finish.

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

Late fall through early spring works best for most trees, typically November through March when trees are dormant. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes the risk of attracting pests or diseases to fresh cuts. However, dead branches and safety hazards should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees specifically should avoid pruning during April through June when oak wilt disease spreads most easily. We can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing based on species and current condition.
Costs vary based on tree size, complexity, and accessibility, but most residential trimming jobs range from $300 to $1,500 per tree. Smaller ornamental trees might cost $200-500, while large mature trees requiring specialized equipment can run $1,000-2,500. Factors affecting price include tree height, branch density, proximity to structures, and cleanup requirements. We provide free written estimates that break down exactly what work we’re recommending and why. Emergency situations may involve additional charges, but we’ll always discuss pricing upfront before starting any work.
Proper trimming actually improves tree health and can stimulate healthy growth when done correctly. The key is using proper techniques—making clean cuts at the right locations and removing only what’s necessary for tree health and safety. We never “top” trees or remove more than 25% of the canopy in a single season, both practices that can severely damage trees. Our ISA-certified arborists understand tree biology and make cuts that promote natural healing. Poor trimming techniques can definitely harm trees, which is why certification and experience matter when choosing a tree service.
Complete cleanup is included in every job. We bring chippers to process smaller branches and trucks to haul away larger material. All debris gets removed from your property—you won’t find scattered twigs, leaves, or wood chips left behind. We also clean up any bark or sawdust that falls during cutting and rake the area around each tree. The only thing we leave behind are healthier, safer trees. Many homeowners are surprised by how thorough our cleanup is compared to other services they’ve used in the past.
Yes, we carry full licensing and comprehensive insurance including general liability and workers compensation. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property and covers any accidental damage to your home, vehicles, or other structures. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting work. Many tree services operate without proper coverage, leaving homeowners exposed to significant financial risk. Given the inherent dangers of tree work—chainsaws, heavy equipment, work at height—proper insurance isn’t optional. It’s essential protection for both our crew and your property.
We provide emergency response for dangerous situations like trees on houses, blocking driveways, or threatening power lines. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we can often respond the same day for urgent safety issues. We have the equipment and experience to safely remove trees from structures and clear access routes quickly. While emergency work may involve additional charges due to urgency and after-hours response, we’ll always discuss pricing upfront before starting. For storm preparation, we recommend scheduling routine trimming before hurricane season rather than waiting for emergency situations to develop.
