Complete Tree Maintenance

More Than Just Cutting Branches

Tree trimming includes crown reduction to manage size, dead branch removal for safety, and selective pruning to improve structure. The service also covers emergency tree work when storms damage your trees or create immediate hazards.

In Hewlett Harbor, mature trees often need specialized care due to their size and proximity to homes. Professional arborists understand how to work around power lines, structures, and neighboring properties without causing damage or creating new problems.

The service includes proper disposal of all debris, so you don’t have to worry about what to do with branches and leaves. Everything gets cleaned up and hauled away, leaving your property looking better than when we started.

How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Most trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species, age, and condition of your trees. Fast-growing trees might need attention more frequently, while mature hardwoods can often go longer between services. Dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of your regular trimming schedule, and storm-damaged trees need prompt attention to prevent further problems. The best approach is to have your trees assessed by a certified arborist who can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific trees and property conditions.

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

Tree trimming typically focuses on removing overgrown branches for appearance and basic maintenance, while pruning involves more selective cuts for tree health, structure, and safety. Pruning requires understanding tree biology and proper cutting techniques to promote healthy growth and prevent disease. Both services overlap significantly, and professional arborists use the terms somewhat interchangeably. What matters most is that the work gets done by someone who understands proper cutting techniques, timing, and how different tree species respond to various types of cuts.

Is tree trimming covered by homeowner's insurance?

Insurance typically covers tree work only when it’s related to storm damage or when a tree has already caused damage to your home or other covered structures. Routine maintenance and preventive trimming usually aren’t covered, even though they’re often the best way to prevent expensive problems later. However, if you have a tree that’s clearly hazardous and poses an immediate threat to your property, some policies might provide coverage. Check with your insurance company about your specific policy, and keep in mind that maintaining your trees proactively is usually much less expensive than dealing with damage after the fact.

Can I trim my own trees to save money?

Small branches and basic maintenance on young trees can often be handled by homeowners, but anything involving ladders, power tools, or large branches should be left to professionals. Improper cutting techniques can permanently damage trees, create safety hazards, or even kill the tree. Large branches can be unpredictable when cut, and working near power lines is extremely dangerous. Professional arborists have the training, equipment, and insurance to handle tree work safely. For most homeowners, the cost of professional service is worth it to avoid injury, property damage, or expensive mistakes that could harm your trees.

What time of year is best for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming, when trees are dormant and less likely to be stressed by the cuts. However, dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of season, and emergency situations don’t wait for ideal timing. Some trees, like maples and birches, can “bleed” sap if trimmed in late winter, though this doesn’t harm the tree. Flowering trees should be trimmed right after they bloom to avoid removing next year’s flowers. A certified arborist can advise you on the best timing for your specific trees and situation.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, complexity of the work, and accessibility of the trees. Small trees might cost a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees can cost significantly more, especially if they’re near structures or power lines. Most companies provide free estimates, so you can get a clear idea of costs before committing to the work. Emergency services typically cost more than scheduled maintenance. The investment in professional trimming often pays for itself by preventing property damage, maintaining tree health, and avoiding the much higher costs of tree removal or damage repair.
