Trees That Actually Enhance Your Property

You want trees that add value to your home, not threaten it. Proper tree trimming does more than just make things look neat—it prevents storm damage, improves tree health, and gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your landscape is in good hands.

When your trees are trimmed correctly, dead and weak branches are gone before they become problems. Your healthy trees get the sunlight and air circulation they need to thrive. And you get the curb appeal that makes your Old Field property stand out for all the right reasons.

The difference between good tree trimming and haphazard cutting shows up in how your trees look, how they grow, and how they weather the storms that roll through Long Island. You deserve tree care that actually improves your landscape instead of just making it smaller.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

We start with a thorough assessment of your trees, looking for dead branches, disease, structural problems, and growth patterns. This isn’t a quick glance—we’re checking for issues that could become expensive problems later.

Once we know what we’re working with, we explain what needs to be done and why. You’ll get a clear estimate with no hidden fees, and we’ll schedule the work at a time that works for your schedule.

On trimming day, we use proper pruning techniques that promote healthy growth while removing problematic branches. We clean up completely—no leaving you with a yard full of debris. And if we spot any concerns during the work, we’ll let you know immediately rather than surprise you later.

The goal is trees that look better, grow healthier, and give you fewer worries. Most of our clients are surprised by how much better their landscape looks after professional trimming.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

Our tree trimming service covers everything from routine maintenance to corrective pruning. We remove dead, diseased, and damaged branches first—these are the ones most likely to fall during storms. Then we address structural issues like crossing branches, weak crotches, and overgrown areas that could cause problems.

We also handle clearance pruning around power lines, buildings, and walkways. Old Field’s mature trees often grow close to homes and utilities, and proper clearance prevents damage while maintaining the tree’s natural shape.

Every job includes complete cleanup and debris removal. We’re not the type to finish the cutting and leave you with a mess to handle. Our equipment can handle branches of any size, and we’ll haul everything away so your property looks better than when we arrived.

For Old Field homeowners, we also provide seasonal maintenance scheduling. Many of our clients prefer having their trees trimmed on a regular cycle rather than waiting for problems to develop. It’s more cost-effective and much better for tree health.

When is the best time to trim trees in Old Field?

The best time for most tree trimming in Old Field is late fall through early spring when trees are dormant. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes the risk of disease transmission. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees have specific timing requirements—they should only be pruned during dormant season to prevent oak wilt disease. We can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing for each species on your property.

How much does tree trimming cost in Old Field?

Tree trimming costs depend on several factors: tree size, species, location, and the complexity of the work needed. A typical residential tree trimming job in Old Field ranges from $300 to $1,500 per tree, but this can vary significantly. Small ornamental trees might cost less, while large mature oaks or trees near power lines cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down the work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency storm cleanup is typically priced differently than routine maintenance.

Will tree trimming damage my trees?

Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health when done correctly by certified arborists. The key is using proper pruning techniques, making clean cuts at the right locations, and not removing more than 25% of the canopy in a single season. Poor trimming practices like topping or leaving branch stubs can seriously damage trees. Our certified arborists follow ISA standards for pruning, which means your trees will be healthier and more structurally sound after trimming. We never use harmful practices like tree topping or excessive crown reduction.

Do I need permits for tree trimming in Old Field?

Most routine tree trimming in Old Field doesn’t require permits, but tree removal often does, especially for larger trees or trees in sensitive areas. The Town of Brookhaven has specific regulations about tree removal and sometimes trimming near wetlands or in protected areas. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if permits are needed for your specific situation. If permits are required, we can guide you through the application process or recommend the appropriate steps to take.

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees in Old Field benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, though this varies by species and tree health. Fast-growing trees like maples may need attention more frequently, while slower-growing oaks can go longer between trimmings. Young trees often need more frequent pruning to establish good structure. We recommend having your trees assessed annually to identify any developing problems, even if major trimming isn’t needed. Regular maintenance prevents small issues from becoming expensive emergencies and keeps your trees healthier long-term.

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

Tree trimming and pruning are often used interchangeably, but technically pruning is more precise work focused on tree health, while trimming is more about appearance and safety. Pruning involves selective removal of branches to improve tree structure, remove disease, or promote healthy growth. Trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for clearance or aesthetic reasons. Professional arborists use both techniques depending on what your trees need. We assess each tree individually and use the appropriate methods to achieve the best results for both tree health and your property’s appearance.
