Your trees look better after we’re done, but more importantly, they’re safer. Dead branches that could crash into your home during the next storm are gone. Overgrown limbs that block your view or scrape your roof get trimmed back to proper size.
You get more sunlight in your yard and home. Your trees grow stronger because we remove the diseased and damaged wood that holds them back. Property values stay protected because well-maintained trees are an asset, not a liability.
The peace of mind is real. No more wondering if that heavy branch will make it through another winter storm.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been caring for trees across Suffolk County for years. We understand how coastal conditions affect your oaks, maples, and pines differently than trees inland.
Hampton Bays sits right in the path of nor’easters and summer storms that test every tree on your property. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to keeping trees healthy in this climate. Salt air, sandy soil, and unpredictable weather create unique challenges that require local expertise.
We’re licensed, insured, and committed to doing the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises.
We start with a free consultation at your property. We’ll walk around with you, assess each tree’s condition, and discuss your specific concerns and goals. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done and why.
Next, we develop a customized trimming plan. Not every tree needs the same approach. Some need dead wood removal for safety, others need selective pruning for health, and some just need shaping for appearance. We explain our recommendations in plain terms.
When we do the work, we bring professional equipment and follow proper arboricultural techniques. We clean up completely when we’re finished. Your property looks better than when we arrived, and your trees are set up for healthy growth moving forward.

Hampton Bays trees face unique challenges that many tree services don’t understand. The salt air from Shinnecock Bay affects how trees respond to pruning. Sandy soil means root systems develop differently. Storm exposure from the Atlantic requires specific structural pruning techniques.
We handle everything from routine maintenance trimming to emergency storm cleanup. Our services include dead wood removal, crown thinning, clearance pruning around buildings and power lines, and structural pruning for young trees. We also provide 24/7 emergency response when storms hit.
Every job includes a thorough cleanup. We can chip the debris for mulch, remove everything completely, or stack firewood if you prefer. The choice is yours, but the cleanup is always complete.
Tree trimming typically focuses on maintaining shape and controlling size for aesthetic purposes. It’s often done on a regular schedule to keep trees looking neat and prevent interference with buildings or power lines.
Tree pruning is more focused on tree health and structure. It involves selective removal of diseased, damaged, or poorly positioned branches to improve long-term health and reduce safety risks. Pruning requires more expertise and knowledge of tree biology.
Both services are important for different reasons. Trimming keeps your landscape looking its best, while pruning helps ensure your trees stay healthy and safe for years to come. We recommend the right approach based on your trees’ specific needs and your property goals.
Most mature trees in Hampton Bays benefit from professional attention every 3-5 years, while young trees often need annual pruning and shaping. However, the frequency depends on several factors specific to our coastal location.
Fast-growing species like maples and willows may need more frequent attention, especially after storm seasons. Older trees with structural issues might need annual inspections even if major work isn’t required every year. Trees near your house or power lines typically need more frequent maintenance for safety.
We also recommend having trees inspected after major storms, regardless of your regular maintenance schedule. Hampton Bays gets hit with nor’easters and summer storms that can create immediate safety hazards requiring prompt attention.
Generally, routine tree trimming and pruning don’t require permits in Hampton Bays. However, tree removal often does require permits, even on your own property. The rules can be complex and depend on factors like tree size, species, and location.
If you’re planning significant work or removal of large trees, it’s worth checking with the Town of Southampton before starting. Some trees are protected due to size or species, and there may be restrictions during bird nesting season.
We’re familiar with local regulations and can help guide you through the permit process if needed. During our initial consultation, we’ll let you know if any permits are required for the work we’re recommending.
Hampton Bays’ coastal location creates unique challenges that require specialized knowledge. Salt air affects how trees respond to pruning cuts and can slow healing. Sandy soil means root systems develop differently, affecting tree stability during storms.
The exposure to Atlantic weather systems means trees here face more frequent high winds and storm damage than trees further inland. This requires different structural pruning techniques to help trees withstand these conditions.
We also deal with different pest and disease pressures due to the maritime climate. Certain fungal issues are more common in humid coastal conditions, and salt spray can stress trees in ways that inland arborists rarely encounter. Our local experience means we know how to work with these conditions rather than against them.
Tree trimming costs vary based on tree size, complexity of the work, and accessibility. Small trees might cost a few hundred dollars to trim, while large mature trees can cost $800-1500 or more, depending on the specific work needed.
Factors that affect pricing include tree height, number of branches being removed, proximity to buildings or power lines, and cleanup requirements. Emergency work after storms typically costs more due to urgency and additional safety precautions required.
We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. During our assessment, we’ll explain all cost factors and help you understand what’s driving the price for your specific situation. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree services throughout Hampton Bays and Suffolk County. When storms hit Long Island, fallen trees don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
We prioritize dangerous situations that threaten people or property. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or creating immediate safety hazards, we respond as quickly as possible to make your property safe.
