Our tree trimming and pruning services focus on keeping healthy trees safe and attractive while removing dead or dangerous branches. We remove dead branches, thin overcrowded canopies, and shape trees for better growth and storm resistance.
Melville’s mature trees face unique challenges from coastal winds and salt air. The white oak, scarlet oak, and pitch pine trees common in our area require specialized care, especially given that the average tree height here is 54 feet. We understand which tree species thrive here and which ones become problems during unpredictable weather.
Professional tree care means your landscape investment is protected. Healthy trees increase your property value while proper pruning prevents costly damage down the road. You avoid the stress of emergency situations because potential problems get handled before they become disasters.
Most trees benefit from trimming during dormant season, typically late fall through early spring. This timing reduces stress on the tree and minimizes disease transmission risk in our Long Island climate.
However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season for safety reasons. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees should avoid trimming during spring and early summer to prevent oak wilt disease. Emergency trimming after storms happens when needed for safety, and we can recommend the optimal timing based on your specific trees and goals.
Melville and Nassau County have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for larger trees or those in protected areas. Generally, you can trim trees on your private property, but some municipalities require permits for major work on trees over a certain diameter.
Trees near property lines might require neighbor notification. The safest approach is checking with the Town of Huntington building department before starting any major tree trimming project. Professional tree companies typically know local regulations and can advise you on permit requirements during the estimate process, helping you navigate the requirements properly.
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost less than large mature trees near structures or power lines. Most Melville homeowners pay between reasonable rates for typical tree trimming, but the specific cost varies based on your situation.
Factors affecting price include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to buildings, and access for equipment. We provide free estimates that include the complete job from start to finish – proper pruning cuts, cleanup of branches and leaves, and disposal of all materials. You get transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees.
Yes, Rolling Hills Property Services Inc. carries full licensing for tree care services in Suffolk County, plus comprehensive liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. This protects you from liability if accidents occur and ensures the work meets professional standards.
Many homeowners insurance policies require that tree work be performed by licensed, insured contractors to maintain coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Working with licensed, insured professionals protects your investment and gives you recourse if something goes wrong, which is especially important for tree work that can be inherently dangerous.
Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance and basic maintenance, while pruning involves selective removal of specific branches to improve tree health, structure, and safety. Pruning requires more expertise because it involves understanding tree biology, growth patterns, and proper cutting techniques.
We assess each tree individually to determine whether it needs basic trimming for aesthetics or strategic pruning to address health issues, structural problems, or safety concerns. Both services are important for maintaining healthy trees, but pruning focuses more on the long-term health and structural integrity of your trees, while trimming is primarily about size control and appearance.
Yes, we provide emergency tree services for storm damage and dangerous tree situations in Melville. Emergency services include removing trees that have fallen on homes, cars, or structures, as well as securing partially fallen trees that pose immediate hazards.
We prioritize emergency calls involving safety hazards like trees blocking roads, threatening structures, or creating dangerous conditions. During major storms, we typically respond as quickly as possible for urgent situations. Our emergency service focuses first on making properties safe and accessible, then scheduling complete cleanup and removal to restore your property to normal conditions.
