Tree Maintenance Kensington NY

Complete Tree Care Services

Our services cover everything from emergency tree removal to routine maintenance. Tree trimming and pruning are handled by certified arborists who understand proper cutting techniques and timing for different species common in Kensington.

Emergency services are available when storms damage trees or when hazardous situations develop. We respond quickly with the equipment needed to safely remove damaged trees and clear debris from your property.

Regular tree maintenance includes health assessments, disease prevention, and pruning that promotes strong growth patterns. This preventive approach helps avoid emergency situations and keeps your trees healthy for the long term.

How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?

Emergency tree services are available 24/7 for situations that pose immediate safety risks, such as trees that have fallen on structures or are blocking roads. Response time depends on the severity of the situation and current weather conditions, but most emergency calls in Kensington are addressed within a few hours. For urgent but non-emergency situations, like a tree leaning toward your house, same-day or next-day service is typically available. We prioritize calls based on safety risk and work to address dangerous situations as quickly as possible.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance and basic maintenance, while pruning involves more selective cutting to improve tree health, structure, and growth patterns. Pruning requires understanding of tree biology and proper cutting techniques to avoid damaging the tree. It includes removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches, as well as shaping the tree’s growth. Both services are important, but pruning is more technical and should be done by certified arborists who understand how different cuts affect tree health and growth over time.

Do you clean up all the debris after tree work?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in every tree service. This includes hauling away all branches, logs, and wood chips from the work area. We also rake up smaller debris and leave the area clean and ready for you to use. Large logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left on your property if you prefer, but most customers choose to have everything removed. Our goal is to leave your property in better condition than when the work started, with no cleanup tasks left for you to handle.

How do you determine if a tree needs to be removed?

Tree removal recommendations are based on several factors including structural integrity, disease, location, and safety risks. A certified arborist evaluates the tree’s root system, trunk condition, branch structure, and overall health. Trees with significant decay, structural damage, or disease that can’t be treated may need removal. Location matters too – a tree that’s too close to power lines, structures, or other trees may need to come down even if it’s healthy. Our assessment includes looking at the tree’s potential to cause property damage or safety hazards, and removal is only recommended when other treatments won’t address the problem.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Green Light Tree Services carries full licensing and insurance coverage for all tree care work. This includes general liability insurance to protect your property during the work, as well as workers’ compensation coverage for our crew. Our team includes certified arborists who have the training and credentials to properly assess tree health and perform complex tree work safely. All equipment is maintained to professional standards, and safety protocols are followed on every job. You can request proof of insurance before any work begins, and our coverage protects both your property and our workers throughout the entire process.

What time of year is best for tree trimming?

The best timing for tree trimming depends on the species and the reason for trimming. Most trees benefit from pruning during their dormant season in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes the risk of disease transmission. However, dead, damaged, or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees, like maples and birches, are best pruned in late summer to avoid excessive sap flow. Oak trees should be pruned in winter to prevent oak wilt disease. A certified arborist can recommend the optimal timing for your specific trees and situation.
