When is the best time to trim trees in Port Washington?

Late winter through early spring works best for most tree species in our area, typically February through April. This timing allows trees to heal quickly as growing season begins and reduces stress on the tree. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species like maples and birches are best trimmed in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. The specific timing depends on your tree species and current condition.
Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees typically range from $200-500, medium trees $500-800, and large trees $800-1500 or more. Factors affecting price include tree height, branch accessibility, proximity to power lines or structures, and amount of debris removal needed. Emergency services and hazardous tree situations cost more due to additional safety requirements. We provide free estimates so you can understand exactly what the work will involve.
We take extensive precautions to protect your property during trimming work. This includes using protective coverings for plants, careful equipment placement, and controlled branch removal techniques. Our experienced crews plan cutting sequences to avoid damage to roofs, fences, or gardens below. We carry full insurance to cover any accidental damage, though proper technique and equipment make damage extremely rare. You can verify our insurance coverage before work begins.
Look for dead, diseased, or broken branches that pose safety risks or allow disease entry points. Branches touching your roof, interfering with power lines, or blocking important views typically need removal. Overgrown canopies that block too much sunlight or create wind resistance problems also benefit from professional trimming. If you’re unsure, our certified arborists can assess your trees and recommend only necessary work. We don’t suggest removing healthy branches just to generate more business.
Port Washington has specific regulations about tree removal and trimming, especially for larger trees or those in certain zones. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help navigate permit processes when needed. Most routine trimming doesn’t require permits, but significant work or removal of large trees often does. The permitting process typically involves submitting plans and sometimes requires arborist certification of tree condition. Working with us ensures compliance with all municipal requirements.
Complete debris removal is standard with our tree trimming services. We cut branches into manageable pieces, load them onto our trucks, and haul everything away from your property. We chip smaller branches for mulch and properly dispose of larger wood through recycling programs. Some homeowners request that wood be left for firewood, which we can usually accommodate. The job isn’t complete until your property is cleaned up and restored to its original condition, minus the trimmed branches.
