You sleep better knowing those massive oaks aren’t going to come down on your roof during the next storm. No more staring at dead branches and wondering if today’s the day they finally fall.
Your property value stays protected instead of threatened. Well-maintained trees that enhance your landscape rather than creating liability issues. Trees that can actually handle East Hampton’s salt air and coastal winds.
You get the confidence that comes from working with licensed professionals who understand mature tree removal. No weekend warriors with chainsaws. No property damage. No cutting corners on safety.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc. has been handling Suffolk County’s toughest tree challenges for years. We know what salt air does to mature oaks. We’ve cleaned up after every major storm that’s hit the East End.
Your East Hampton property faces challenges that trees in other areas never see. Ocean spray that slowly weakens branches over time. Coastal storms that can turn a healthy tree into a dangerous hazard overnight. Soil conditions that affect root stability.
We’re fully licensed and insured because tree work near million-dollar homes requires real expertise. When we show up, you get professional equipment, proven techniques, and the kind of thorough cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it.
We start by walking your property and identifying what actually needs attention. You’ll understand exactly what we’re recommending and why. No upselling, no pressure tactics, just honest assessment of what’s safe and what isn’t.
On work day, we arrive with equipment designed for East Hampton’s tight spaces and expensive properties. Trees near your house get sectioned down piece by piece using rope systems. We protect everything – your roof, your landscaping, your neighbor’s property.
Complete cleanup is standard, not extra. We chip debris on-site, grind stumps below ground level so you can replant, and haul away everything we can’t chip. When we leave, you’ll have trouble finding where the tree used to be.

Our tree service covers the full spectrum – emergency storm cleanup, planned removals, preventive pruning, and health assessments. We handle everything from small ornamental trees to massive century-old oaks.
East Hampton’s coastal environment creates specific problems you won’t find inland. Salt spray accumulates on foliage, causing leaf burn and branch weakness. Strong winds during storms target already-compromised trees. Sandy soils affect root stability differently than clay.
We understand local permit requirements for tree removal and can guide you through the process. Some removals need town approval, especially larger specimens or trees in protected zones. We’ll handle the paperwork and make sure everything’s done legally.
Tree removal in East Hampton typically runs $275 to $1,191, averaging around $738. The wide range reflects the complexity of working with our area’s particularly large, mature trees.
East Hampton trees average 54 feet tall – significantly larger than most areas. Coastal properties often have tight access between expensive homes. Trees near structures require sectional removal with specialized rigging equipment. All of these factors affect pricing.
Emergency removals cost more, usually around $1,106, because they require immediate response to dangerous situations. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Salt air damage tops the list. Ocean spray gradually accumulates on leaves and branches, creating burn-like symptoms and weakening tree structure. This makes trees more vulnerable when coastal storms hit.
Storm damage is the second major issue. Trees already stressed by salt exposure are more likely to lose large branches or get completely uprooted during nor’easters and hurricanes. We see this pattern after every major weather event.
Soil issues compound both problems. East Hampton’s mix of sandy and clay soils creates drainage challenges. Poor drainage suffocates roots, while sandy soils don’t hold enough moisture. Both conditions stress trees and reduce their storm resistance.
Most significant tree removals in East Hampton require permits, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. The town regulates removals to protect property values and maintain the community’s tree canopy.
Permit requirements vary by tree size, location, and zone. Protected areas have stricter rules. Emergency situations have different procedures than planned removals. The regulations can be complex, and violations carry penalties.
We’re familiar with East Hampton’s permit process and can determine what’s required for your specific situation. We’ll advise whether permits are necessary and help with applications when needed. It’s much easier to get approval before starting work.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 3-5 years, but East Hampton’s coastal conditions often require more frequent attention. Annual safety inspections make sense for properties with large trees near structures.
Storm season preparation is crucial here. We recommend having trees assessed before hurricane season to identify and remove weak branches. Dead or damaged wood should be addressed immediately, not put off until next year.
The schedule depends on several factors: tree species, age, proximity to your home, and exposure to salt air. Fast-growing trees need more frequent attention. Trees showing stress from coastal conditions may need annual care until they recover.
Pruning focuses on tree health – removing diseased branches, eliminating crossing limbs, and shaping growth patterns. It’s more precise work that requires understanding tree biology and proper cutting techniques.
Trimming typically involves larger-scale branch removal for safety or aesthetic reasons. This might mean clearing branches from power lines, opening up views, or reducing a tree’s overall size to improve wind resistance.
In East Hampton, both services often focus on coastal challenges. We remove salt-damaged growth, reduce wind resistance, and eliminate branches that pose storm hazards. Proper technique is critical – improper cuts can weaken trees and create disease entry points.
Absolutely. Removing trees near structures is standard work for us, and East Hampton’s established neighborhoods are full of mature trees growing close to expensive homes.
We use sectional removal techniques – carefully lowering pieces with rope and rigging systems rather than dropping them. We protect roofs, siding, and landscaping with plywood and tarps. Our crews specialize in the tight-space work common in East Hampton.
The key is having proper equipment and experience. We’ve handled removals with just a few feet of clearance between million-dollar homes. Careful planning, professional rigging, and methodical execution keep your property safe throughout the entire process.
