Everything Your Trees Need

We handle tree removal, trimming, pruning, and emergency storm damage cleanup. Our certified arborists can diagnose tree health issues, recommend treatment, and perform the work safely.

Stump grinding, crown reduction, and hazardous tree removal are all part of what we do. We have the equipment to handle large trees near power lines, homes, and other structures without causing damage.

East Setauket properties often have mature trees that need specialized care. We understand local soil conditions, common tree diseases in our area, and Suffolk County regulations for tree work. Whether you need routine maintenance or emergency response, we have the experience to handle it right.

How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?

Look for obvious signs like dead branches, leaning trunks, or visible decay at the base. If more than 50% of the tree is damaged or diseased, removal is usually the safest option. Trees with large dead branches over your house or power lines are also candidates for removal. However, many trees that look problematic can actually be saved with proper pruning and care. Our certified arborists can assess the situation and give you an honest recommendation about whether removal is necessary or if treatment can save the tree.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

Trimming is basic maintenance – removing overgrown branches for appearance and safety. Pruning is more precise work focused on tree health, removing diseased or damaged branches, and shaping growth patterns. Proper pruning requires understanding tree biology and making cuts that promote healthy growth. Poor pruning can actually harm trees and make them more susceptible to disease or storm damage. Our certified arborists know the difference and use proper techniques that keep your trees healthy long-term, not just make them look better temporarily.

Do you handle emergency tree removal after storms?

Yes, we provide emergency tree services throughout East Setauket when storms cause damage. We prioritize situations where trees are threatening homes, blocking roads, or creating safety hazards. Emergency response typically focuses on making the area safe first, then complete removal and cleanup. We can work directly with your insurance company and provide documentation needed for claims. During major storm events, response times may be longer due to high demand, but we’ll communicate clearly about timing and prioritize based on safety risks.

How much does tree removal cost in East Setauket?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while large trees near structures or power lines can cost several thousand. Factors that affect pricing include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, access for equipment, and disposal requirements. We provide detailed written estimates that break down the work involved. Emergency removal typically costs more due to the urgent nature and potential after-hours work. The best way to get accurate pricing is to have us assess your specific situation.

When is the best time to trim trees?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming in our area, when trees are dormant and less stressed by pruning. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees are best pruned in winter to avoid oak wilt disease. Storm-damaged trees need immediate attention to prevent further damage. Our arborists consider tree species, health, and your specific goals when recommending timing for pruning work.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured for all tree care work in East Setauket and Suffolk County. We carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect you and our crew. Our arborists maintain current certifications and stay updated on safety protocols and industry standards. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This coverage is essential for tree work since it involves heavy equipment, working at heights, and potential property damage risks. Never hire a tree service that can’t provide current insurance documentation.
