Complete Tree Maintenance Services

Everything Your Lake Success Trees Need

Our tree trimming service includes crown cleaning to remove dead and diseased branches, crown thinning to improve air circulation and reduce wind resistance, and crown raising to clear walkways and structures. We also handle emergency tree service when storms hit Lake Success.

Each tree gets individual attention based on its species, age, and condition. Your mature oaks need different care than your ornamental trees, and we adjust our approach accordingly. We can also identify potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Whether you need routine maintenance, storm damage cleanup, or emergency tree cutting, we bring the same level of professionalism and expertise. Our goal is keeping your trees healthy and your property safe, year after year.

How often should I have my trees trimmed in Lake Success?

Most mature trees in Lake Success benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species and condition. Fast-growing trees like maples may need attention more frequently, while slower-growing oaks can often go longer between services. We also recommend inspection after major storms, since Long Island weather can create immediate hazards that need addressing. The key is not waiting until branches are obviously dead or dangerous – preventive trimming is much safer and less expensive than emergency removal.

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

Late fall through early spring is typically ideal for most tree trimming in our area, when trees are dormant and won’t be stressed by pruning. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. We avoid heavy pruning during active growth periods in late spring and early summer when possible. Oak trees specifically should be pruned during dormant season to prevent oak wilt disease. Emergency situations obviously can’t wait for perfect timing, but routine maintenance works best when scheduled during dormant periods.

How much does professional tree trimming cost in Lake Success?

Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, complexity, and access, but most homeowners in Lake Success invest between $300-$1,500 per tree for professional service. Smaller ornamental trees cost less, while large mature trees requiring specialized equipment cost more. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what’s included – no hidden fees for cleanup or disposal. Emergency services during storms may carry premium pricing due to urgency and hazardous conditions. The investment in professional trimming typically saves money compared to dealing with storm damage or emergency removal later.

Can I trim my own trees or should I hire professionals?

Small branches under 2 inches that you can reach safely from the ground are generally fine for homeowners to handle. However, anything requiring ladders, involving large branches, or near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper pruning can permanently damage trees, create safety hazards, and actually make storm damage more likely. Our certified arborists understand tree biology and proper cutting techniques that promote healthy growth. Plus, we carry insurance for property damage – if something goes wrong during DIY tree work, you’re responsible for the consequences.

Will tree trimming damage my trees or landscaping?

Professional tree trimming actually improves tree health when done correctly, but poor technique can cause permanent damage. We use proper pruning cuts that heal cleanly and don’t create entry points for disease or pests. Our arborists understand how much can be safely removed without stressing the tree. We also protect your landscaping during work, using tarps and barriers to prevent damage to gardens, lawn, and hardscaping. Proper tree care enhances your property rather than harming it – that’s why technique and experience matter so much in this field.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations in Lake Success, especially after the nor’easters and summer storms that hit Long Island. Emergency service focuses on immediate safety hazards – trees on houses, blocking driveways, or threatening power lines. We prioritize calls based on safety risk and try to respond as quickly as possible during storm events. Keep in mind that emergency services during active storms may be limited until conditions are safe for our crews. Having your trees properly maintained before storm season significantly reduces the likelihood of emergency situations.
