How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations in Valley Stream?

We typically respond to emergency calls within hours, depending on the severity of the situation and current weather conditions. During major storms, we prioritize the most dangerous situations first – trees on houses, blocking roads, or threatening power lines. For urgent but non-life-threatening situations, you can expect response within 24 hours. We maintain emergency equipment and crews specifically for these situations, so you’re not waiting days for help when you need it most.

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 is more precise work focused on tree health. Pruning involves removing specific branches to improve tree structure, eliminate disease, or encourage proper growth patterns. A certified arborist knows which branches to remove and when to do it without harming the tree. Both services are important, but pruning requires more expertise and is usually done less frequently. We provide both services and can explain what your specific trees need during the estimate.

Do you handle cleanup and debris removal after tree work?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included with every job. We remove all branches, logs, and wood chips from your property unless you specifically request to keep firewood or mulch. This includes raking up smaller debris and leaving your yard clean. Many homeowners are surprised by how much debris tree work creates, and disposal can be expensive and time-consuming if you handle it yourself. We have the equipment and disposal relationships to handle everything efficiently, so you don’t have to worry about cleanup or finding a way to dispose of large branches.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Valley Stream?

Yes, we are fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects both your property and our workers if something goes wrong during the job. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work, which is important when dealing with large trees near your home or other structures. Many tree service companies operate without proper insurance, which puts homeowners at serious financial risk. Always verify insurance coverage before hiring any tree service, and never work with uninsured contractors.

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

Our certified arborists evaluate several factors: the tree’s overall health, structural integrity, proximity to structures, and potential safety risks. Dead or dying trees usually need removal, as do trees with significant structural damage or disease that can’t be treated. Sometimes healthy trees need removal if they’re too close to houses, interfering with power lines, or causing foundation problems. We’ll explain our assessment and discuss alternatives when possible. Tree removal is typically the last resort – many trees can be saved with proper pruning or treatment. We provide honest assessments and won’t recommend removal unless it’s truly necessary.

What happens if tree work damages my property?

We carry comprehensive liability insurance specifically to cover property damage, though we take extensive precautions to prevent damage in the first place. This includes using proper rigging techniques, protecting landscaping with plywood or tarps, and having experienced operators handle all equipment. If damage does occur, our insurance handles repairs or replacement quickly. We document the property condition before starting work and discuss any potential risks upfront. This is why working with properly insured tree services is so important – uninsured contractors leave you responsible for any damage that occurs during the job.
