What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

Your trees look better, but that’s just the beginning. Professional tree trimming eliminates those branches hanging over your roof, the ones scraping your siding during windstorms, and the dead wood that keeps you up at night wondering when it’ll come down.

You get healthier trees that actually grow stronger instead of just bigger. Proper pruning removes diseased branches before problems spread, opens up the canopy so sunlight reaches your lawn again, and shapes growth away from power lines and structures.

The real benefit? You stop worrying about tree-related damage to your home. No more wondering if that heavy branch will survive the next storm, no more dealing with leaves clogging your gutters from overgrown limbs, and no more explaining to neighbors why your untrimmed trees are dropping debris in their yard.

Westbury Tree Trimming Experts

We Know Long Island Trees

Long Island Best Tree Service has been handling tree care across Westbury and Nassau County for years. We understand how coastal weather affects tree health, which species thrive in our soil conditions, and exactly how to trim trees so they stay healthy through our unpredictable seasons.

Our certified arborists carry full licensing and insurance because tree work done wrong can cost you thousands in property damage. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners hire the cheapest option or attempt dangerous trimming themselves.

Every job gets the same approach: assess the tree’s health, identify potential hazards, and trim strategically to promote proper growth while eliminating risks to your property.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough assessment of each tree, looking for dead branches, disease signs, structural weaknesses, and growth patterns that could cause future problems. This isn’t a quick glance—we’re identifying exactly what needs to be removed and what should stay.

Next comes strategic pruning using proper techniques that promote healthy growth. We remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches first, then address structural issues like crossing limbs or branches growing toward your house. Each cut is made at the correct angle and location to help the tree heal properly.

Throughout the process, we protect your property with tarps and careful debris management. We’re not just dropping branches wherever they fall—everything gets controlled, collected, and removed from your property. You get professionally trimmed trees and a clean yard when we’re finished.

Complete Tree Maintenance Services

What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

Every tree trimming service includes hazard assessment, strategic pruning, and complete cleanup. We bring professional-grade equipment that lets us reach high branches safely without damaging your landscape or structures below.

You get proper pruning cuts that heal correctly, not the rough cuts that leave trees vulnerable to disease and pest problems. We remove all debris, including small branches and leaves, so you don’t spend your weekend cleaning up after tree work.

Our Westbury clients often need additional services like crown thinning for storm resistance, clearance pruning around power lines, and deadwood removal for safety. We handle these specialized techniques because they require understanding tree biology, not just knowing how to operate a chainsaw. Each property gets service based on the specific trees, their condition, and the potential risks they present.

When is the best time to trim trees in Westbury?

Late fall through early spring works best for most Long Island trees, typically November through March when trees are dormant. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes sap loss. However, dead branches and safety hazards should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species like maples and birches bleed heavily if pruned in late winter, so we adjust timing based on the specific trees on your property. Storm damage obviously can’t wait for ideal timing—we handle emergency trimming year-round when safety is at risk.

How much does professional tree trimming cost in Westbury?

Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, number of branches being removed, accessibility, and complexity of the work. Small trees typically run $200-400, medium trees $400-800, and large mature trees can range from $800-1500 or more. Trees near power lines, structures, or requiring crane access cost more due to the specialized equipment and safety measures required. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work will be performed. Emergency storm damage cleanup typically costs more than scheduled maintenance trimming.

Will tree trimming damage my trees or make them grow back thicker?

Proper pruning actually strengthens trees and promotes healthy growth when done correctly by certified arborists. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and removing the right amount—typically no more than 25% of the canopy in a single session. Topping or excessive pruning does cause weak, rapid regrowth that’s more prone to breaking. We use scientifically-based pruning techniques that work with the tree’s natural growth patterns. Poor trimming techniques can indeed damage trees permanently, which is why the expertise and experience of your tree service matters significantly.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris after trimming?

Complete cleanup is included in every tree trimming job. We remove all branches, twigs, and leaves from your property, not just the large pieces. Our crew uses tarps during the work to protect your lawn and landscaping, then chips smaller branches and hauls away all debris. You won’t find scattered twigs and leaves weeks later. We also rake up any sawdust or small debris around the work area. The only thing we leave behind are properly trimmed trees and a clean property. Some clients ask us to leave wood chips for mulch, which we’re happy to do if requested.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Nassau County?

Yes, we carry full licensing and comprehensive insurance including general liability and workers compensation coverage. Tree work involves significant risks to property and people, so proper insurance isn’t optional—it’s essential. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Many homeowners don’t realize that if an uninsured tree service damages their property or someone gets injured, they could be held liable. We also follow all local Nassau County regulations and obtain permits when required for tree work near streets or in protected areas.

Can you trim trees near power lines safely?

We handle tree trimming near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe procedures. We have the specialized equipment and training required for electrical hazard tree work. However, some situations require the utility company to de-energize lines temporarily. We never attempt to trim trees in contact with live power lines without proper safety protocols. This type of work requires specific certification and equipment that many tree services don’t have, so always verify your contractor’s qualifications for electrical hazard tree work.
