Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Tree Trimming

Every tree trimming job includes proper pruning cuts that heal correctly and promote healthy growth. We remove dead, diseased, and structurally weak branches that pose risks to your property.

Crown thinning opens up your trees to better light and air circulation. Crown raising lifts lower branches away from structures, walkways, and vehicles. Crown reduction reduces overall tree size while maintaining natural shape.

You get complete debris removal, site cleanup, and disposal of all branches and leaves. We also provide recommendations for ongoing tree care and maintenance schedules to keep your trees healthy between visits.

When is the best time to trim trees in Elmont?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they handle pruning stress better and heal faster when spring arrives. We avoid trimming during active growth periods unless it’s for safety reasons. Oak trees specifically should be trimmed in winter to prevent oak wilt disease. Emergency trimming for storm damage or hazardous branches can be done any time of year when safety is the priority.

How much does tree trimming cost in Elmont?

Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees typically run $200-400, medium trees $400-800, and large trees $800-1500 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or with difficult access cost more due to additional safety requirements. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start any work.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in every tree trimming job. We remove all branches, leaves, and wood chips from your property. Everything gets loaded onto our trucks and properly disposed of or recycled. You won’t find any leftover debris in your yard, gutters, or landscaping. The only thing you’ll notice is healthier, better-looking trees and a cleaner property.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

We’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance plus workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from any liability if someone gets hurt or property gets damaged during tree work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Never hire unlicensed tree services – if something goes wrong, your homeowner’s insurance may not cover damages caused by uninsured contractors working on your property.

Can you trim trees near power lines?

We can trim trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island for safety clearance. For trees that are near but not touching lines, we use specialized techniques and equipment to work safely around electrical hazards. We never take risks with power lines – safety always comes first, even if it means a more complex approach to the job.

Will trimming hurt my trees or make them grow back thicker?

Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health and doesn’t cause excessive regrowth. The key is making correct pruning cuts at the right locations and removing the right amount of canopy. We never “top” trees or make flush cuts that damage the tree’s ability to heal. Our certified arborists understand tree biology and use techniques that promote healthy growth patterns. Poor pruning by inexperienced workers can damage trees permanently, which is why professional tree care matters.
