Tree Trimming Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a property assessment to identify which branches need attention and why. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters for your tree’s health and your property’s safety.

Our team arrives with professional equipment and safety gear. We protect your lawn, driveway, and landscaping before we start cutting. Every cut is made with purpose – removing dead wood, opening up the canopy for better airflow, and shaping for healthy growth.

Cleanup is part of the job. We haul away all debris, rake up sawdust, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You get healthy trees and a tidy yard without lifting a finger.

When is the best time to trim trees in Roslyn?

Late fall through early spring is typically best for most tree species in our area. Trees are dormant, so they experience less stress from pruning. This timing also lets you see the tree’s structure clearly without leaves in the way. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Emergency situations don’t wait for perfect timing, and safety always comes first.
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the work. A small ornamental tree might cost a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees near structures can cost significantly more. We provide free estimates because every situation is different. The investment in professional trimming usually pays for itself by preventing property damage and extending your tree’s healthy lifespan.
Most routine tree trimming doesn’t require permits in Roslyn, but removing large trees or working on trees in protected areas might. Local regulations can be complex, especially for mature trees or those near property lines. We’re familiar with Nassau County and Roslyn’s tree ordinances and can help you understand what’s required for your specific situation before we start any work.
Look for dead branches, branches rubbing against each other, limbs hanging over your roof or power lines, or areas where the canopy is so thick that grass won’t grow underneath. If you can see obvious problems from the ground, there are likely more issues higher up that only a professional can safely assess. When in doubt, a free consultation can give you clarity on what your trees actually need.
Professional tree services take steps to protect your property during the work. We use tarps to catch debris, position equipment carefully to minimize lawn damage, and clean up thoroughly when finished. Some minor impact is unavoidable with larger jobs, but experienced crews know how to work efficiently while protecting your investment in landscaping. Most lawn areas recover quickly from any temporary disturbance.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but pruning typically refers to more precise cuts for tree health and structure, while trimming might include general maintenance and shaping. We use both techniques depending on what your tree needs. The important thing is that cuts are made correctly, at the right time, and for the right reasons – whether you call it trimming or pruning.
