Your Trees Work For You, Not Against You

When your trees are properly maintained, they become assets instead of liabilities. You sleep better knowing those overhanging branches won’t crash into your roof during the next storm. Your property looks sharp, and neighbors notice the difference.

Well-trimmed trees also grow healthier and live longer. Dead branches get removed before they become problems. Growth gets directed away from power lines and structures. Your landscape investment actually pays off instead of creating headaches.

The best part? You never have to climb a ladder or touch a chainsaw. Professional tree trimming means the dangerous work gets handled by people who know what they’re doing, with the right equipment and insurance coverage.

Complete Tree Trimming and Pruning

Our tree trimming services cover both residential and commercial properties throughout Islip Terrace. Whether you need seasonal pruning, storm damage cleanup, or ongoing maintenance, we handle projects of all sizes.

Timing matters in tree care, especially on Long Island where weather patterns affect growth cycles. We know when to trim different species for optimal health and recovery. Spring pruning, summer maintenance, and winter preparation all require different approaches.

When is the best time to trim trees in Islip Terrace?

Most tree trimming in Islip Terrace works best during late winter or early spring, typically February through April. This timing allows trees to heal quickly when growing season begins and reduces stress on the tree. However, dead branches and safety hazards should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species like maples and birches are better trimmed in summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We assess each situation individually because Long Island’s coastal climate creates specific conditions that affect optimal timing for different tree species.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs in Islip Terrace depend on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small residential trees might cost $200-400, while large mature trees near structures can run $800-1500 or more. Factors affecting price include tree height, branch accessibility, proximity to power lines or buildings, and amount of material to remove. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific trees and property conditions. Emergency storm damage work typically costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular trimming actually saves money long-term.

Can I trim my own trees or should I hire professionals?

Small branches under 2 inches diameter on easily accessible trees can be handled by homeowners with proper tools and techniques. However, anything requiring ladders, power tools, or work near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper cuts can permanently damage trees, create safety hazards, or lead to disease and pest problems. Professional tree trimmers have the equipment, insurance, and expertise to handle dangerous situations safely. The cost of professional trimming is usually less than the potential damage from DIY mistakes, especially when you factor in property damage or personal injury risks.

Will tree trimming damage my trees or kill them?

Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health and longevity when done correctly. Professional arborists make clean cuts at proper angles that heal quickly and don’t create entry points for diseases or pests. However, over-trimming, improper cuts, or wrong timing can stress or damage trees. We never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in a single season and avoid topping or other harmful practices. Our goal is always to enhance tree health while achieving your safety and aesthetic objectives. Healthy trees recover quickly from professional trimming and often grow more vigorously afterward.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our tree trimming service. We don’t leave piles of branches for you to deal with. All cut material gets removed from your property, and we clean up smaller debris like leaves and twigs. We also take care to protect your lawn and landscaping during the work process. Some clients prefer to keep certain wood pieces for firewood or mulch, which we’re happy to accommodate. Our goal is to leave your property cleaner and safer than when we arrived, with only healthier, better-shaped trees remaining.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Rolling Hills Property Services Inc is fully licensed and insured for tree trimming and removal work in Islip Terrace and throughout Long Island. Our insurance covers both property damage and worker injury, protecting you from liability if accidents occur. We can provide proof of insurance before beginning any work. This coverage is essential for tree work because of the inherent risks involved with heavy equipment, falling branches, and work at height. Never hire tree services that can’t provide current insurance documentation – you could be held liable for injuries or property damage if something goes wrong.
