Trees That Enhance, Not Endanger

You shouldn’t have to worry about whether that large oak is going to come down in the next storm. Or wonder if those overgrown branches are slowly damaging your roof. When your trees are properly maintained, they become assets that add beauty and value to your property instead of liabilities that keep you up at night.

Professional tree care means your landscape looks intentional and well-maintained. Your neighbors notice. Your insurance company isn’t sending you letters about hazardous trees. And when severe weather hits Long Island, you’re not scrambling to find emergency tree services because you’ve already taken care of the problems before they became emergencies.

The right tree maintenance also means healthier trees that live longer and require fewer interventions over time. You’re not dealing with the same problems year after year because the underlying issues were actually addressed the first time.

Complete Tree Care Solutions

Everything Your Trees Need

Green Light Tree Services handles the full spectrum of tree care, from routine maintenance to emergency situations. Tree trimming and pruning are done according to proper arboricultural standards, not just cutting branches wherever it’s convenient. This approach keeps trees healthy and reduces the likelihood of future problems.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or when hazardous situations develop. We respond quickly to secure dangerous trees and clear debris, understanding that these situations often involve safety risks and property damage that can’t wait for regular business hours.

Tree removal is handled when trees are beyond saving or pose ongoing risks. The process includes careful planning to protect surrounding property, complete removal of the tree including stump grinding when requested, and thorough cleanup of all debris. For Flower Hill properties with mature landscapes, this often requires working in tight spaces while preserving the rest of the landscaping.

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

Several signs indicate a tree may need removal: significant dead or dying branches throughout the canopy, visible decay or cavities in the trunk, root damage from construction or disease, or structural problems like splitting trunks. Trees leaning severely after storms or those with extensive storm damage may also need removal. However, many trees that look problematic can actually be saved with proper care. A certified arborist can assess the tree’s condition and recommend whether removal is necessary or if other treatments might restore the tree’s health and safety.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

While these terms are often used interchangeably, pruning typically refers to selective removal of specific branches for tree health, structure, or safety reasons. This includes removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches, and shaping the tree’s growth pattern. Trimming usually refers to cutting back overgrown branches for clearance or aesthetic purposes, such as clearing branches from power lines or buildings. Professional tree care involves both techniques applied at the right times and in the right ways to maintain tree health while achieving your goals for safety and appearance.

When is the best time to trim trees in New York?

The ideal timing depends on the tree species and the reason for trimming. For most deciduous trees, late fall through early spring (when dormant) is best because it minimizes stress and reduces disease risk. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Spring-flowering trees should be pruned right after flowering to avoid removing next year’s buds. Oak trees are best pruned in late fall or winter to reduce the risk of oak wilt disease. Emergency situations obviously can’t wait for optimal timing, but routine maintenance should be scheduled appropriately.

How much does tree removal cost in Flower Hill?

Tree removal costs vary significantly based on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet might cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,500-4,000 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to the additional care and equipment required. Factors affecting price include trunk diameter, height, number of branches, accessibility for equipment, and whether stump removal is included. The only way to get an accurate estimate is to have the specific tree assessed in person, which is why reputable companies provide free estimates.

Do you provide emergency tree services?

Yes, Green Light Tree Services provides emergency tree service for situations that pose immediate safety risks or property damage. This includes trees that have fallen on structures, are leaning dangerously after storms, or have large branches hanging precariously. Emergency services focus first on making the situation safe and preventing further damage, then on complete cleanup and removal. While emergency services may cost more than routine work due to the urgency and often difficult working conditions, addressing these situations quickly prevents additional damage and safety risks.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Green Light Tree Services is fully licensed and insured for all tree care work. This includes general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, which protects both our crew and your property during tree work. Licensing ensures we meet professional standards and local regulations for tree care services. You should always verify that any tree service company you hire carries proper insurance and licensing, as tree work involves significant risks to property and people. We will readily provide proof of insurance and licensing upon request.
