Tree Removal

Tree pruning isn’t just about making trees look better—it’s about keeping them alive, safe, and thriving. At Joe Tree, Tree Service, we bring the same precision, experience, and care to pruning as we do to our acclaimed removal services. Our team understands how and when to prune for both health and aesthetics, and we tailor every cut to the unique needs of each tree.


Our tree pruning services include:


  • Strategic removal of dead or diseased branches
  • Thinning crowded limbs to promote airflow and light penetration

What Is the Difference Between Tree Trimming and Pruning?

This is one of the most common questions we hear—and it’s an important one.


Tree trimming focuses on cutting back overgrown branches for visual appeal or size control. Tree pruning, however, is much more than cosmetic. It’s a strategic, often technical process that improves the health and longevity of your tree by removing dangerous, dead, or diseased limbs. Our tree pruning services help reduce risk, prevent property damage, and promote better growth patterns.


At Joe Tree, we specialize in pruning that supports long-term tree health and minimizes the need for future removals.

When Should a Tree Be Pruned?

Proper timing is key to effective tree pruning. While light pruning can be done year-round, the best time to prune most trees is late winter or early spring—before new growth begins. That said, we assess each tree based on species, condition, and goals.


Here’s a quick guide:


  • Winter pruning (most common): Encourages robust spring growth.
  • Summer pruning: Controls growth and addresses hazards.
  • Emergency pruning: Removes broken or dangerous limbs after storms or accidents.


If you're unsure whether your tree needs pruning now or later, just call Joe Tree. We’ll evaluate your trees and give you an honest, expert recommendation.

FAQs About Tree Pruning

  • How much does tree pruning cost on Long Island?

    The cost of tree pruning services depends on the tree’s size, location, and condition. At Joe Tree, we offer fair pricing based on actual work done on-site—no inflated quotes or hidden fees. Call us for a free, honest estimate tailored to your property’s needs.

  • Is tree pruning necessary every year?

    Not always. Some trees benefit from annual pruning, especially fruit trees or fast growers. Others may only need it every few years. Our experts will assess your trees and create a care plan that matches your property’s needs and your budget.

  • Will pruning damage my tree?

    When done by professionals like Joe Tree, tree pruning enhances your tree’s health—not harms it. We follow industry best practices to ensure each cut supports long-term growth, stability, and safety. Poor pruning by untrained hands, however, can permanently damage a tree.

    Yes. In fact, that’s one of our specialties. We use precise equipment and advanced rigging techniques to prune even the most challenging trees without damaging nearby buildings, fences, or utilities. Safety is always our top priority.

    Absolutely. Joe Tree, Tree Service always leaves your property cleaner than we found it. All branches, trimmings, and debris are removed—or stacked neatly, if you want to keep the wood. We treat your home or business with the respect it deserves.

    Just had a 60 year old 100 foot Norway Spruce taken down today.  Several fences, a shed and our house were in close proximity to the tree.  The guys doing the job were awesome.  The job was done in two hours and I couldn’t be happier with their work.  Everything was cleaned up nicely after they finished and no damage was done whatsoever.  Highly recommend Joe Tree - Tree Service.

    Emergency Tree Removal!

    I lost a tree which landed in 2 neighbors yards. They came they removed and they cleaned up after themselves.  I was happy but more importantly my two neighbors were happy.

    “Like they were never here”

    “I need the number - I want to get a quote”


    They will be back in a few weeks to remove  some other “could be causalities”.

    I’ve been worrying about the four oak trees on the side of my house falling  during heavy winds.  After the last hurricane barely missed us I decided it was time to remove the trees.


    The crew arrived on time and the magic started.  It was like watching tree top ballerina’s with chainsaws.  This process is loud and messy but these guys were up to the task.  All that remains is a pile of mulch were trees use to be.


    We are very happy with the results.

    They were prompt, courteous and professional.  I got 7 bids they were clearly the lowest.  There was slight damage to the siding that they repaired at their cost.  I highly recommend them.
