We work around your schedule and property needs. Some trees need attention in late winter before spring growth, while others are better trimmed after leaf drop. We time our work to benefit your trees’ health, not just our convenience.

When is the best time to trim trees in Shirley, NY?

Most trees in Shirley benefit from trimming during late winter or early spring, typically February through April, before new growth starts. This timing allows trees to heal quickly and puts less stress on them. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species like maples are better trimmed in late fall to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We assess each tree individually and recommend the optimal timing based on species, condition, and your specific goals.

How much does professional tree trimming cost in Shirley?

Tree trimming costs in Shirley typically range from $300 to $1,500 per tree, depending on size, location, and complexity of the work. Smaller trees or simple pruning jobs cost less, while large trees near power lines or structures require more time and specialized equipment. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing property damage and extending your trees’ lifespan, which is much less expensive than emergency removal or insurance claims.

Will tree trimming damage my trees or kill them?

Proper tree trimming actually improves tree health and longevity when done correctly. We follow industry standards that promote healing and healthy growth patterns. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and avoiding over-pruning, which can stress trees. We never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in a single season unless it’s an emergency situation. Our techniques encourage strong branch structure and reduce the likelihood of storm damage. Improper trimming by inexperienced crews can indeed harm trees, which is why professional expertise matters.

Do you handle trees near power lines in Shirley?

Yes, we’re experienced with trees near power lines, which is common in Shirley’s residential areas. However, we coordinate with PSEG Long Island for any work within 10 feet of electrical lines to ensure safety and compliance. For branches actually touching lines, the utility company typically handles removal at no cost to homeowners. We can trim trees to maintain proper clearance and prevent future contact with power lines. This type of work requires specialized training and equipment, which our licensed crew has. Safety is our top priority when working around electrical hazards.

How often should I have my trees trimmed professionally?

Most mature trees in Shirley benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, though this varies by species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees like willows or silver maples may need attention every 2-3 years, while slower-growing oaks might go 5-7 years between major prunings. Young trees often need more frequent shaping to develop proper structure. We also recommend annual inspections to catch potential problems early. Trees near structures or in high-traffic areas may need more frequent maintenance for safety reasons. We’ll provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific trees and property.
