What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

You get trees that look better and live longer. More importantly, you get peace of mind knowing those branches aren’t going to come down on your roof during the next storm.

Proper trimming removes dead wood before it becomes a hazard. It opens up the canopy so your trees can handle wind better. And it keeps branches from scraping your gutters or blocking your windows.

Your property looks cleaner and more valuable. Your trees stay healthier because we’re removing diseased sections before they spread. And you’re not dealing with the mess and stress of emergency tree removal after storm damage.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Tree Trimming

First, we assess your trees to determine what actually needs trimming. Not every tree needs work every year, and we’ll tell you honestly what does and doesn’t need attention.

We plan our cuts carefully. Proper tree trimming follows specific techniques that promote healthy growth and structural integrity. Random cutting weakens trees and creates more problems.

During the work, we protect your property with tarps and careful positioning of equipment. We clean up completely when we’re done, including hauling away all debris. You shouldn’t have to deal with piles of branches and leaves after we leave.

When is the best time to trim trees in Uniondale?

Late fall through early spring works best for most trees on Long Island. Trees are dormant, so trimming causes less stress and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves. We avoid trimming during active growing seasons unless it’s an emergency situation. Oak trees specifically should be trimmed during dormant months to prevent oak wilt disease. Weather conditions matter too – we don’t trim when it’s too wet or windy to work safely.
Costs depend on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees might run $200-400, while large mature trees can cost $800-1500 or more. Trees near power lines or buildings require more careful work and specialized equipment. We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific trees. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing storm damage and extending tree life. Emergency trimming after storms always costs more than preventive maintenance.
Small branches you can reach from the ground are usually fine for homeowners to handle. Anything requiring a ladder or chainsaw should be left to professionals. Tree work involves serious risks – falling branches, power lines, and improper cuts that can kill trees. Licensed arborists have the training and equipment to work safely at height. We also know which branches to cut and where to make cuts that promote healthy regrowth rather than weakening the tree.
We take steps to protect your property during tree work. We use tarps to catch falling debris and position equipment carefully to minimize lawn damage. Heavy equipment stays on driveways when possible. Some minor lawn impact is unavoidable with large tree work, but it’s temporary and much less than the damage from falling branches. We clean up completely and can recommend lawn repair if needed. The key is working with experienced crews who understand property protection.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 2-3 years, but not every tree needs trimming that often. Young trees might need annual attention to establish good structure. Fast-growing species require more frequent care than slow-growing hardwoods. Storm damage or disease can create immediate trimming needs regardless of schedule. We recommend having trees assessed after major storms and whenever you notice dead branches, unusual growth patterns, or signs of disease.
Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance required for professional tree work in New York State. This includes liability insurance to protect your property and workers compensation for our crew. Tree work involves significant risks, and proper insurance protects both you and us if something goes wrong. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Never hire tree services that can’t show current insurance certificates – you could be liable for injuries or property damage.
