Professional Tree Care Services

Healthier Trees, Safer Property, Better Curb Appeal

You get trees that look better and live longer. Proper trimming removes dead branches before they fall, opens up canopies for better light and air circulation, and shapes growth away from your house and power lines.

Your property stays protected from storm damage. When branches are properly maintained, they’re less likely to break during high winds or heavy snow loads.

The right pruning techniques actually strengthen your trees. We remove weak, crossing branches and thin dense areas so your trees can put energy into healthy growth instead of supporting deadweight.

Complete Tree Maintenance Services

More Than Just Cutting Branches

Our tree trimming service includes crown cleaning to remove dead and diseased branches, crown thinning to improve light penetration and air circulation, and crown reduction to manage size while maintaining tree health.

Every job includes a basic tree health assessment. If we spot signs of disease, pest problems, or structural issues, we’ll let you know so you can address them before they become expensive problems.

When is the best time to trim trees in Manhasset?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they experience less stress from pruning cuts. You can also see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. However, dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of season since they pose safety risks. Some trees like maples and birches are best pruned in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and access difficulty. Small trees might run $200-400, while large mature trees can cost $800-1500 or more. Emergency work and difficult access situations cost more due to additional equipment and safety requirements. We provide free written estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work.

Will trimming hurt my trees?

Proper trimming actually helps trees stay healthier longer. The key is making clean cuts in the right places and not removing too much at once. We follow industry standards that limit removal to 25% of the canopy in a single season. Bad pruning techniques like topping or leaving stubs can seriously damage trees, which is why we use specific cutting methods that promote healing and healthy regrowth.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Complete cleanup is included in our service. We chip smaller branches on-site when possible, cut larger wood into manageable pieces, and remove all debris from your property. We also rake up sawdust and small twigs so your lawn looks clean when we’re finished. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, just let us know and we’ll stack it where you want it.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Our arborists are ISA certified, which means they’ve passed rigorous testing on proper tree care techniques. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This protects you from liability if someone gets hurt or property gets damaged during the job. Never hire tree services that can’t provide current insurance certificates.

Can you trim trees near power lines?

We can work around power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to main power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island since they have specific protocols for utility line clearance. For smaller service lines to your house, we have the equipment and training to work safely around electrical hazards. We always assess the electrical situation during our free estimate and explain the safest approach for your specific tree and power line configuration.
