Complete Tree Trimming Services

What's Included in Our Service

You get a thorough assessment of your trees’ health and safety risks. Our arborists identify which branches need removal and explain the reasoning behind each cut.

We handle everything from light pruning to major limb removal. Crown thinning to improve air circulation. Deadwood removal to prevent falling branches. Clearance cutting around power lines and structures.

Emergency tree service is available when storms hit Riverhead. We respond quickly to remove fallen trees and dangerous hanging branches. All work includes complete cleanup and debris removal, so you don’t have to deal with the mess or find a way to dispose of large branches.

When is the best time to trim trees in Riverhead?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best time for most tree trimming in Riverhead. Trees are dormant, which reduces stress and makes it easier to see the branch structure. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm damage obviously can’t wait for the ideal timing. We also avoid trimming during active growing seasons when trees are most vulnerable to stress and disease.

How much does tree trimming cost in Riverhead?

Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, complexity of the job, and accessibility. Small trees might run $200-400, while large trees requiring specialized equipment can cost $800-1500 or more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect. The investment is usually much less than dealing with property damage from untrimmed trees, and it protects your property value long-term.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our tree trimming service. We chip smaller branches, cut larger wood into manageable pieces, and haul everything away. You won’t have piles of branches cluttering your yard or need to figure out how to dispose of tree debris. We also rake up sawdust and small debris, leaving your property cleaner than when we arrived.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. Tree work is inherently dangerous, and you need protection if something goes wrong. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Our arborists are certified and trained in proper safety procedures. Never hire uninsured tree services – you could be liable for injuries or property damage.

Can you work around power lines safely?

We can trim trees near power lines, but we follow strict safety protocols and may coordinate with your utility company depending on the situation. Electrical hazards require specialized training and equipment. If branches are directly touching power lines, we’ll typically have the utility company handle the immediate area around the wires. Your safety and our crew’s safety always come first when dealing with electrical hazards.

Will trimming hurt my trees or make them grow back thicker?

Proper trimming actually improves tree health by removing dead, diseased, or competing branches. However, incorrect pruning can seriously damage or kill trees. That’s why we use certified arborists who understand tree biology and proper cutting techniques. We never “top” trees or remove more than 25% of the canopy at once. Proper pruning encourages healthy growth patterns and extends your trees’ lifespan rather than harming them.
