Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Trees

First, we assess your trees and identify what needs attention. Dead branches, overgrowth near structures, limbs that could cause problems during storms. We explain what we’re doing and why before we start cutting.

The actual trimming follows proper arborist techniques. We remove problematic growth while preserving the tree’s health and natural shape. No hack jobs that leave your trees looking butchered or vulnerable to disease.

Cleanup is part of the service. We haul away all debris, rake up smaller pieces, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You get the results without dealing with piles of branches sitting around for weeks.

When is the best time to trim trees in Water Mill?

Late fall through early spring is typically ideal for most tree species in our area. The trees are dormant, which reduces stress and allows them to heal properly before the growing season. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. We also handle emergency trimming after storms when safety is the priority. For specific trees like flowering species, timing matters more to preserve next year’s blooms, so we adjust our approach based on what you’re dealing with.
Costs depend on tree size, complexity, and how much work needs to be done. A basic trim on smaller trees might run a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees requiring extensive work or special equipment can cost significantly more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing property damage and maintaining your home’s value. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re priced fairly for professional work that’s done right the first time.
Poor trimming absolutely can harm trees, which is why technique matters. Improper cuts, removing too much at once, or cutting at the wrong time can stress trees and make them vulnerable to disease or pest problems. We follow proper arborist standards for every cut. This means making clean cuts at the right locations, never removing more than 25% of the canopy at once, and timing the work appropriately. Done correctly, trimming actually improves tree health by removing diseased or damaged wood and improving air circulation through the canopy.
Yes, we respond to emergency situations when trees pose immediate safety risks. Coastal storms can cause significant damage, and we understand that broken limbs hanging over your house or blocking your driveway can’t wait for a convenient appointment. We prioritize emergency calls and work to make dangerous situations safe as quickly as possible. This might involve temporary stabilization followed by proper trimming once conditions allow. We’re equipped to handle storm damage and work safely around power lines or structural damage.
Complete cleanup is included in our service. We don’t just cut your trees and leave you with piles of branches to deal with. All debris gets loaded and hauled away, including smaller twigs and leaves. We also rake and clean the work area so your property looks better than when we started. This is part of professional service – you shouldn’t have to spend your weekend cleaning up after tree work or figure out how to dispose of large branches. The job isn’t finished until everything is cleaned up and hauled away.
Look for obvious signs like dead branches, limbs touching your house or roof, branches blocking windows or walkways, or growth that looks unbalanced. If you can see daylight through dead wood or notice branches rubbing against each other, trimming is needed. Safety concerns like limbs over driveways or near power lines should be addressed promptly. Sometimes it’s less obvious – trees might need trimming to improve their shape or health even when there’s no immediate danger. We can assess your trees and explain what needs attention and what can wait.
