Hear from Our Customers
Your Southampton property faces unique challenges that most tree services don’t understand. Salt air from the Atlantic Ocean, nor’easters, and Long Island’s sandy soil create specific conditions that require local expertise. When your trees are properly trimmed, you sleep soundly during storm season instead of wondering if tonight’s the night that overgrown oak comes down on your roof.
Professional tree trimming removes weak branches before they become projectiles. Strategic pruning reduces storm damage risk by removing weak, dead, or poorly attached branches and reducing wind resistance by allowing air to flow through the canopy. Your trees develop the structural integrity to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at them.
You get the peace of mind that comes from working with certified arborists who understand exactly what Southampton trees need to thrive in our coastal environment.
We at Rolling Hills Property Services Inc. have been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, building our reputation on quality work and genuine care for our community. We’re not another tree service that treats every property the same—we understand the specific challenges that Southampton properties face.
The area’s frequent storms and high winds put extra stress on trees, and historic preservation requirements in some areas affect how tree work can be performed. Our local expertise means we know which species thrive in these conditions and how to protect your trees from the environmental challenges specific to the Hamptons area.
When you choose us, you’re working with neighbors who understand your investment and share your commitment to maintaining Southampton’s natural beauty.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your property, examining each tree’s health, structure, and potential impact on your home and landscape. Our certified arborists identify problem areas, assess safety risks, and develop a customized plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns.
During the service phase, we use professional-grade equipment and proven techniques to safely complete the work. We handle all types of trimming: crown cleaning to remove dead and diseased wood, crown thinning to reduce wind resistance, and crown raising to clear structures and improve sight lines, using proper rigging to control falling branches.
Cleanup is just as important as the technical work. We remove all debris, restore your landscape to its original condition, and ensure your property looks better than when we arrived. You’ll have a clear, safe outdoor space and the confidence that comes from working with true professionals.

Our tree trimming services in Southampton are specifically designed for the unique challenges of coastal Long Island. The unique environment shaped by humid summers, icy winters, salt-laden winds, and sandy soils requires a tailored approach to arboriculture. We understand which local tree species need specialized care and when to perform different types of trimming.
We trim with an eye toward Long Island’s coastal winds and storm patterns, removing crossing branches and thinning crowns to reduce wind resistance, particularly for trees near the shoreline where nor’easters and hurricane remnants can cause significant damage. Our approach protects your investment while maintaining the natural beauty that makes Southampton properties so desirable.
For Southampton homeowners, we also provide emergency storm damage cleanup, ongoing maintenance programs, and expert advice on tree species selection. Each service is designed to protect your investment and enhance your property’s value in this competitive real estate market.
Late fall through early spring is typically best for most tree species in the Southampton area, during dormancy when trees experience less stress from pruning cuts and heal more effectively. However, timing depends on the specific species and your goals.
We consistently emphasize timing as a critical factor, as pruning at the wrong time of year can cause undue stress to the tree, making it susceptible to disease, pests, or even permanent damage. For example, maples should be trimmed in late winter to minimize sap bleeding, while flowering trees are often best pruned right after they bloom.
Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season, as coastal winds and salt exposure can create urgent safety situations that require prompt attention. Our certified arborists can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing for your property.
Tree trimming and pruning costs typically range from $80 to $1,000+, with most jobs falling between $250 to $500, depending on factors like tree size, diseases, accessibility, and pests. Southampton’s coastal location can add complexity, especially when dealing with storm-damaged trees or those in tight spaces near historic properties.
The biggest factors affecting your final price include the tree’s size and species, proximity to your home or power lines, and the overall complexity of the job. We provide detailed estimates that account for all aspects of the job, including cleanup and debris disposal, as the investment in professional tree care is worthwhile when you consider potential damage costs from a falling tree can easily exceed $10,000.
We provide free, transparent estimates with a detailed breakdown, ensuring you understand all costs involved before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job is done.
Southampton’s coastal environment creates specific challenges including salt air, strong winds, and sandy soil that affect how trees grow and what problems develop, with salt air damaging leaves and weakening branches over time while sandy soil doesn’t anchor root systems as well as inland areas.
Long Island’s tree population includes distinctive native species that require specific approaches, such as native oaks needing minimal pruning techniques, maples requiring winter pruning to prevent sap bleeding, and pine trees in sandy soils only needing dead branch removal. Understanding these local conditions is crucial for proper tree care.
The coastal environment creates specific challenges—salt air, strong winds, sandy soil conditions—that we factor into our approach because cookie-cutter tree service doesn’t work in coastal areas. We understand which tree species thrive in this microclimate and which ones become problems, helping us provide better care recommendations.
