Professional Tree Care Services

Safe Properties, Healthy Trees, Zero Headaches

You shouldn’t have to worry about branches falling on your roof or blocking your driveway after every storm. When your trees are properly maintained, you sleep better knowing your property is protected.

Healthy trees add thousands to your property value and create the kind of curb appeal that makes neighbors take notice. But more importantly, they’re not threatening your family’s safety or your insurance coverage.

The difference between DIY tree work and professional tree services isn’t just the equipment. It’s knowing which branches to remove, which trees can be saved, and how to do the work without damaging your landscape or creating bigger problems down the road.

How much does tree removal cost in Southold?

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures can range from $800-2000 or more. We provide free estimates that break down all costs including removal, stump grinding, and cleanup. The price reflects the specialized equipment, insurance, and expertise needed to safely remove trees without damaging your property. Emergency removal during storms may cost more due to increased risk and urgency.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency tree service throughout Southold. When storms hit, we prioritize calls involving trees that are blocking roads, threatening structures, or creating immediate safety hazards. Our emergency response includes safe removal of storm-damaged trees, clearing blocked driveways, and securing dangerous hanging branches. We understand that storm damage can’t wait, so we maintain crews ready to respond even during severe weather conditions when it’s safe to do so.
Tree trimming requires knowledge of proper cutting techniques, tree biology, and safety protocols that most homeowners don’t possess. Incorrect pruning can damage trees permanently, create safety hazards, or even kill healthy trees. Professional arborists know where to cut, how much to remove, and when trimming should be done for different species. We also carry insurance and have equipment to safely reach high branches. DIY tree work is one of the leading causes of homeowner injuries, so professional service is worth the investment.
Most trees benefit from professional evaluation every 2-3 years, with pruning as needed based on species, age, and location. Trees near structures or power lines may need annual attention. Fast-growing species require more frequent trimming than slow-growing hardwoods. In Southold’s coastal environment, salt exposure can stress trees and require more regular care. Dead or diseased branches should be removed immediately regardless of schedule. We can assess your specific trees and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps them healthy and safe.
Yes, Green Light Tree Services is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance for all tree work. Our arborists hold proper certifications and we maintain workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from liability if accidents occur on your property. We provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Many tree services operate without proper licensing or insurance, which puts homeowners at serious financial risk. Always verify credentials before hiring any tree service company.
Many diseased trees can be saved with proper treatment if caught early enough. Our certified arborists can diagnose tree diseases and recommend treatment options including pruning infected areas, soil treatment, or targeted applications. However, some diseases like oak wilt or advanced decay require removal to prevent spread to healthy trees. We always evaluate whether treatment is viable before recommending removal. The key is early detection – diseased trees that are ignored typically worsen and become more expensive to treat or remove.
