When your trees are properly trimmed, you sleep better during storms. No more worrying about branches crashing into your roof or power lines during the next nor’easter.
Healthy trees add thousands to your property value. Professional pruning encourages strong growth patterns while removing dead or weak branches that threaten your home, cars, and family.
You get the expertise to know what needs cutting and what should stay. Not every branch that looks problematic actually is—and cutting the wrong ones can damage your trees permanently.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been maintaining properties across Suffolk County for years, understanding exactly how Long Island’s coastal climate affects your trees. Salt air, summer storms, and winter ice create unique challenges that require local expertise.
We are fully licensed and insured, giving you complete protection during every job. We’ve built our reputation on transparent pricing and reliable service—no surprise fees, no cutting corners on safety.
Every crew member knows the difference between a storm-damaged oak and one that just needs selective pruning. That knowledge protects both your investment and your peace of mind.
First, we assess your trees to identify what actually needs attention. Not every branch requires cutting—proper evaluation prevents unnecessary damage to healthy growth.
The trimming follows industry standards for each species. Different trees need different approaches, and timing matters. Oak trees pruned at the wrong time can attract beetles that kill the entire tree.
Complete cleanup happens the same day. All branches, leaves, and debris get removed from your property. You’re left with healthier trees and a clean yard—no extra work for you.

Residential tree trimming focuses on safety and aesthetics around your home. This includes crown reduction to prevent storm damage, dead branch removal, and selective pruning to maintain your trees’ natural shape while protecting your property.
Commercial properties get comprehensive tree maintenance that keeps parking areas, walkways, and buildings safe from falling branches. Regular maintenance schedules prevent emergency situations that disrupt business operations.
Babylon’s coastal location means salt spray affects tree health differently than inland areas. Professional trimming removes salt-damaged growth while preserving the tree’s ability to withstand future exposure. This specialized knowledge prevents common mistakes that weaken trees over time.
Late fall through early spring works best for most tree species in Babylon. This dormant season timing reduces stress on trees and minimizes the risk of attracting pests or diseases to fresh cuts.
Oak trees require special timing—never trim between April and October due to oak wilt disease risk. Maples can be trimmed year-round but bleed sap heavily in spring, making fall and winter preferable.
Storm damage creates exceptions to these rules. Broken or hanging branches need immediate attention regardless of season to prevent property damage or injury.
Tree trimming costs depend on tree size, species, accessibility, and the amount of work needed. Small trees under 25 feet typically cost $200-400, while large mature trees can range from $600-1,200 or more.
Multiple factors affect pricing: proximity to power lines increases difficulty and cost, while trees near buildings require extra care and specialized equipment. Dead or diseased trees often cost more due to additional safety precautions.
Rolling Hills provides transparent estimates before starting work. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why—no surprise charges after the job is complete.
Professional tree trimming is worth the investment for anything above ground level. Improper cuts can permanently damage trees, while working near power lines or on ladders creates serious safety risks.
Tree biology matters more than most people realize. Cutting too much, at the wrong angle, or at the wrong time can kill healthy trees or make them vulnerable to disease and pests.
Insurance and liability concerns make DIY tree work risky. If a branch damages your neighbor’s property or someone gets injured, your homeowner’s insurance might not cover accidents from unprofessional tree work.
Professional tree services protect your landscape through proper planning and equipment. Experienced crews use drop zones, ropes, and specialized rigging to control where branches fall, avoiding damage to plants, structures, and lawn areas.
Ground protection mats prevent heavy equipment from compacting soil or damaging driveways and walkways. Debris gets cleaned up the same day, leaving your property in better condition than before the work started.
Licensed and insured contractors carry coverage for any accidental damage, though proper technique and planning make incidents extremely rare with professional crews.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 2-3 years, with trimming as needed based on growth patterns and health. Fast-growing species like willows might need annual attention, while slow-growing oaks can go 3-5 years between major prunings.
Babylon’s coastal storms create additional maintenance needs. Post-storm inspections help identify damage before it becomes dangerous, even if regular trimming isn’t due yet.
Young trees need more frequent attention—annual pruning for the first 5-7 years establishes strong structure that reduces maintenance needs as trees mature.
Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for safety, clearance, or aesthetic reasons. This includes removing branches that threaten buildings, power lines, or create hazardous conditions.
Tree pruning focuses on tree health—removing dead, diseased, or damaged wood while shaping growth patterns for long-term structural integrity. Proper pruning improves air circulation and light penetration throughout the canopy.
Both services often happen during the same visit. A professional assessment determines what your specific trees need, whether that’s safety-focused trimming, health-oriented pruning, or both approaches combined.
