Healthier Trees, Safer Property, Better Curb Appeal

Your trees look better when they’re properly maintained. More importantly, they’re safer.

Professional tree trimming removes dead, diseased, and dangerously positioned branches before they become problems. You get peace of mind knowing those heavy limbs hanging over your roof or driveway won’t come down in the next storm.

Proper trimming also promotes healthy growth patterns. Your trees develop stronger branch structures and better resistance to wind damage. The result is mature trees that add value to your property instead of threatening it.

When is the best time to trim trees in North Hempstead?

Most trees benefit from trimming during late fall or winter when they’re dormant. 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 early spring, so we schedule those for late summer instead. Our arborists evaluate each tree’s needs and recommend optimal timing based on species, health, and safety concerns.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, complexity, and accessibility. Small trees typically cost $200-400, medium trees $400-800, and large trees $800-1500 or more. Factors like proximity to power lines, buildings, or difficult access increase costs. We provide free estimates that break down pricing clearly. Emergency work costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular trimming saves money long-term by preventing emergency situations.
Small branches under 2 inches diameter are generally safe for homeowners to handle with proper tools. Anything larger requires professional equipment and expertise. Improper cuts damage trees permanently and create entry points for disease. Working near power lines or above 10 feet height involves serious safety risks. Professional arborists have training, insurance, and equipment to work safely. The cost of hiring professionals is usually less than repairing damage from DIY mistakes.
Proper trimming actually improves tree health when done correctly. We make clean cuts at appropriate locations that heal quickly and don’t stress the tree. Certified arborists understand tree biology and growth patterns. We never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in one season unless it’s an emergency situation. Poor trimming techniques like topping or flush cuts do cause permanent damage, which is why professional expertise matters for valuable mature trees.
Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations including storm damage, fallen trees, and dangerous hanging branches. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, often same-day response when safety is involved. We handle insurance documentation and work with adjusters when storm damage is covered. Emergency work focuses first on safety—removing immediate hazards and securing the area. Follow-up visits address remaining cleanup and any additional tree care needs identified during the emergency response.
Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, depending on species and growth rate. Fast-growing trees like willows need attention more frequently, while slow-growing oaks can go longer between services. Young trees require more frequent shaping to develop proper structure. We also recommend inspection after major storms even if no obvious damage is visible. Regular maintenance prevents small problems from becoming expensive emergencies and keeps trees healthy throughout their lifespan.
