What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

Every tree trimming job includes a thorough assessment of your tree’s health and structure. We remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches that pose safety risks or prevent healthy growth.

We also handle crown thinning to improve air circulation and reduce wind resistance – especially important here in West Islip where coastal storms can be intense. If your trees are too close to power lines or structures, we safely trim them back to proper clearance.

Complete cleanup is always included. We don’t just cut and leave – we haul away all debris and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Most homeowners are surprised how little disruption there is to their daily routine.

How much does tree trimming cost in West Islip?

Tree trimming costs depend on the size of your trees, how much work they need, and accessibility around your property. Most residential trimming jobs in West Islip range from $300 to $1,500 per tree. Smaller ornamental trees cost less, while large mature oaks or maples require more time and equipment. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’ll pay before any work begins. The estimate includes all labor, equipment, and complete cleanup – no surprise charges later.

When is the best time to trim trees in New York?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in New York, when trees are dormant and you can see the branch structure clearly. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees like maples and birches are best trimmed in late summer to avoid excessive bleeding. Oak trees should never be trimmed during spring and early summer due to oak wilt disease risk. We’ll recommend the best timing for your specific trees during our assessment.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris after trimming?

Yes, complete cleanup is included in every tree trimming job we do. We remove all cut branches, twigs, and leaves from your property. We also sweep up smaller debris and rake the area clean. Many homeowners tell us their yard looks better after we’re done than before we started. The only thing we leave behind are healthy, properly trimmed trees. You won’t need to rent a truck or make multiple trips to the dump – we handle all of that for you.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work in West Islip?

Yes, we’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability insurance for all tree work in West Islip and throughout Suffolk County. Our arborists are certified and trained in proper pruning techniques and safety protocols. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work on your property. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured or if accidental property damage occurs. Never hire tree services that can’t provide current insurance certificates – the risk isn’t worth any savings.

Will tree trimming damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take extensive precautions to protect your lawn and landscaping during tree trimming. We use protective tarps under work areas and position equipment carefully to minimize ground damage. Our crews are trained to work efficiently while preserving your existing landscape. If we do need to drive equipment across your lawn, we use plywood or mats to distribute weight and prevent ruts. Most trimming jobs result in little to no landscape damage when done by experienced professionals with proper equipment.

Can you trim trees near power lines safely?

We can safely trim trees near power lines, but the approach depends on the specific situation. For trees touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island to ensure safe procedures. We never work on trees in direct contact with live wires – that requires utility company involvement. For trees that just need clearance trimming near lines, our certified arborists use proper techniques and safety equipment. We’ll assess your situation during the estimate and explain the safest approach for your specific trees and power line configuration.
