What Proper Tree Trimming Does

Your trees look better, your property stays safer, and you sleep better during storms. That’s what happens when tree trimming is done right.

Proper pruning removes dead branches before they fall on your roof or car. It opens up canopies to let wind pass through instead of turning your trees into sails during the next big storm. Your trees actually grow stronger and healthier when excess weight is removed from weak limbs.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Better views from your windows. More sunlight reaching your lawn. Trees that complement your property instead of overwhelming it. And when the weather gets rough, you won’t be lying awake wondering if that big branch is going to come down tonight.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

First, we come out and assess your trees. We’re looking for dead wood, crossing branches, and areas where weight needs to be reduced. We’ll point out any safety concerns and explain what needs to be done and why.

Once you approve the work, we show up with proper equipment and safety gear. We make precise cuts that promote healing and healthy growth. We’re not just removing branches – we’re shaping the tree’s future growth pattern.

The cleanup is included. We cut everything down to manageable pieces, load it up, and sweep the area clean. You won’t find wood chips in your flower beds or branches scattered across your lawn. When we’re done, your property looks better than when we started.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Our Service

Every tree trimming job includes a thorough assessment of tree health and safety concerns. We remove dead, diseased, and damaged branches first. Then we focus on structural pruning to improve the tree’s long-term health and storm resistance.

We handle the permit process when required by local regulations. Our crews use professional-grade equipment and follow industry safety standards. All debris is removed and disposed of properly – you won’t be left with a pile of branches to deal with.

Emergency tree service is available when storms damage your trees. We prioritize calls where trees are threatening homes or blocking roads. Our response time during emergencies is typically within hours, not days, because we understand that damaged trees don’t wait for convenient scheduling.

When is the best time to trim trees in Uniondale?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they’re not actively growing and won’t be stressed by pruning. You can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. The exception is if you have damaged or dangerous branches – those should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees like maples and birches can “bleed” sap if pruned in late winter, but this doesn’t harm the tree. We can work around weather conditions and tree-specific needs to find the right timing for your situation.

How much does tree trimming cost in Nassau County?

Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and access to the tree. Small trees might run $200-400, while large mature trees can be $800-1500 or more. Trees near power lines or buildings cost more because they require extra safety precautions. We provide written estimates that break down the work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency calls and storm damage cleanup typically cost more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved. The investment is worth it when you consider the cost of property damage from falling branches.

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

Proper pruning actually makes trees healthier and stronger. When done correctly, trimming removes weak or competing branches and allows the tree to put energy into healthy growth. The “topping” approach that some companies use – cutting all branches back to stubs – is harmful and creates weak, fast-growing shoots. We use selective pruning techniques that work with the tree’s natural growth pattern. This means making cuts at the right locations to promote healing and prevent disease. Your trees will look better and be more structurally sound after professional trimming.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Complete cleanup is included in every job. We cut branches down to manageable pieces, load everything into our trucks, and sweep the work area clean. You won’t find wood chips scattered in your landscaping or small branches hidden in your bushes. We bring tarps to protect your lawn and flower beds during the work. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, just let us know and we’ll cut it to length and stack it where you want it. Otherwise, we dispose of everything properly through our waste management contacts.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance coverage for all tree work. This includes general liability insurance that protects your property if something goes wrong, and workers compensation for our crew members. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This matters more than you might think – if an uninsured tree service damages your property or someone gets hurt, you could be held responsible. We also stay current on local regulations and permit requirements in Nassau County. Working with a properly licensed and insured company protects you from liability and ensures the work meets professional standards.

Can you remove branches touching power lines?

We can handle branches near power lines, but the approach depends on the situation. For branches actually touching power lines, the utility company needs to be involved for safety reasons. We coordinate with PSEG Long Island when necessary to ensure safe clearance procedures. For branches that are close but not touching, we can often trim them back to create proper clearance. This type of work requires extra safety precautions and specialized techniques. We’ll assess the situation and let you know the safest approach. Never attempt to remove branches from power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.
