Your Trees Healthy, Your Property Protected

You get peace of mind knowing your trees won’t surprise you during the next storm. Properly trimmed trees don’t just look better—they’re stronger, healthier, and far less likely to drop branches on your roof, car, or power lines.

Professional tree trimming isn’t about hacking away at branches. It’s about understanding how trees grow, which branches to remove, and how to cut them without damaging the tree’s health. When done right, your trees actually become more resilient to high winds and heavy snow.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Better views from your windows. More light reaching your lawn. Trees that complement your property instead of overwhelming it. And most importantly, you can stop worrying about what might happen during the next big storm.

Flanders Tree Service Experts

Local Arborists Who Know Long Island Trees

We’ve been working with Flanders and Suffolk County property owners for years. We understand the oak, maple, pine, and other species that thrive here—and the unique challenges they face from coastal storms and Long Island’s soil conditions.

Our team holds proper licensing and insurance for Suffolk County work. We’re not the guys who show up with a pickup truck and a chainsaw. We use professional equipment, follow industry standards, and clean up completely when we’re done.

You’re working with arborists who live in this area and have seen what happens when trees aren’t properly maintained. We’d rather help you prevent problems than clean up after them.

Tree Trimming Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a property assessment to identify which branches need attention and why. You’ll understand exactly what we’re recommending and why it matters for your tree’s health and your property’s safety.

The actual trimming work follows proper arborist techniques. We make precise cuts that promote healing, remove deadwood and crossing branches, and shape the tree for both health and appearance. Safety equipment protects your property while we work.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We’ll chip branches, remove debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You get healthy trees and don’t have to deal with the mess.

Complete Tree Maintenance

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your tree trimming service includes the full assessment, all cutting work, and complete debris removal. We bring our own equipment, handle all the heavy lifting, and make sure you’re satisfied with the results before we leave.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage trees or create immediate hazards. We understand that tree problems don’t wait for convenient timing, especially here on Long Island where weather can change quickly.

Tree health is always our priority. We don’t just cut branches—we evaluate the overall condition of your trees and let you know if we spot signs of disease, pest damage, or structural issues that need attention.

How often should trees be trimmed in Flanders, NY?

Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species and condition. Fast-growing trees like willows might need attention every 2-3 years, while slower-growing oaks can often go 5-7 years between major trimming sessions. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems early, especially after major storms. Young trees need more frequent attention to establish proper structure. The key is working with the tree’s natural growth pattern rather than fighting it.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is typically ideal for most tree species in our area. Trees are dormant, so they experience less stress from pruning cuts. You can see the branch structure clearly without leaves, making it easier to identify problems. However, emergency situations don’t wait for perfect timing—if a branch is threatening your roof or power lines, it needs to come down regardless of season. Some species have specific timing requirements, which is why working with experienced arborists matters.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. A small ornamental tree might cost $200-400, while large mature trees can range from $800-2000 or more. Factors include height, proximity to structures, number of branches being removed, and cleanup requirements. We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific trees and property. Emergency work typically costs more due to urgency and potential hazards. The investment is usually much less than dealing with property damage from falling branches.

Will trimming hurt my tree's health?

Proper trimming actually improves tree health by removing dead, diseased, or damaged wood and eliminating branches that compete for resources. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and not removing more than 25% of the canopy in a single session. Poor trimming techniques—like topping or leaving stubs—can seriously damage trees and make them more susceptible to disease and storm damage. That’s why working with certified arborists matters. We follow industry standards that promote healing and long-term tree health.

Do you handle emergency tree situations?

Yes, we provide emergency tree services for situations that pose immediate safety risks. This includes trees or large branches that have fallen on structures, are blocking roadways, or are hanging precariously after storms. We prioritize calls based on safety concerns and try to respond quickly to urgent situations. Keep in mind that emergency work is more expensive than routine maintenance, and some situations might require utility company involvement if power lines are affected. The best approach is preventive trimming to reduce emergency risks.

Are you licensed and insured for Suffolk County?

Absolutely. We carry full licensing for tree work in Suffolk County and comprehensive liability insurance that protects both our crew and your property. This isn’t optional in our business—tree work involves significant risks and expensive equipment. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Working with uninsured tree services puts you at serious financial risk if someone gets hurt or property gets damaged. Always verify licensing and insurance before hiring any tree service company.
