Tree Service in Melville
Tree Removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and more for homes and businesses in Melville, handled by a third-generation family company that puts an owner on every job.
Melville is a community where mature oaks line the streets near Route 110, established neighborhoods sit close to the woods of Cold Spring Hills, and properties often carry the kind of large, aging trees that need serious attention. Those trees add curb appeal and shade, but when they go untended, they become a hazard to your home, your driveway, and everyone on your property. Joe Tree Tree Service handles all of it - tree removal, trimming, structural pruning, stump grinding, and land clearing - for Melville homeowners and businesses. We are a third-generation, family-owned operation with a crew of more than 20 tree experts and a family owner present on every single job.
We got it.

Complete Tree Services Under One Family Name
From a single overgrown maple to a full lot clearing, Joe Tree Tree Service handles tree work of every size.
Tree Trimming
Tree trimming in Melville is about more than aesthetics. The older, denser tree canopies throughout neighborhoods like Melville Woods and along the Bethpage State Parkway corridor can grow quickly into rooflines and driveways. We cut back overgrown branches to improve shape, fit, and clearance around your home. Tree topping and shrub pruning are also available.
Tree Pruning
Tree pruning focuses on removing specific branches to improve a tree's internal structure and long-term health. For the mature hardwoods common throughout Melville, good structural pruning now means fewer weak limbs and less risk of failure during the next big Nor'easter.
Tree Care & Inspections
Keeping up with your trees in Melville means catching problems while they are still manageable. Regular tree inspections let you see exactly what is happening with your trees - whether that is early decay, storm damage, or structural issues - before those problems become emergencies or expensive removals.
Tree Removal
When a tree on your Melville property has to come down, we take it all the way to the stump and chip or haul away everything else. If you would like the trunk left in sections on site for firewood or other use, that option is available as well. Tree removal handled cleanly, with no mess left behind.
Emergency Tree Service
The storms that push through the Long Island Expressway corridor and hit Melville hard can split large trees, drop heavy limbs, and leave hazardous situations overnight. When that happens, we respond to remove storm-damaged trees and clear the debris fast. Call or text Ryan or TJ directly when you have an urgent situation.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
Stumps left behind in Melville yards become tripping hazards, obstacles for lawn equipment, and magnets for insects. Stump grinding brings them down below ground level so the space is usable again. It is available as an add-on to tree removal for an additional fee.
Tree Root Removal
Melville properties near Ruland Road and the Half Hollow Hills area sometimes deal with roots pushing through driveways and walkways after years of unchecked growth. When that happens, the fix starts at the source. We address root problems through targeted tree removal and stump grinding so the damage does not keep coming back.
Land Clearing
Properties in Melville along the northern edge near the Cold Spring Hills preserve, or lots that have been left untouched for years, can become heavily overgrown. Our land clearing service opens up those spaces so you can build, landscape a backyard, or simply reclaim land that has been swallowed by overgrowth.

Signs It’s Time to Call a Tree Service
Many tree problems in Melville start quietly and become serious fast - especially with the large, older trees found throughout this area. It may be time to call for tree service if you notice:
- Branches touching or hanging over your roof, siding, or gutters
- Dead, broken, or hanging limbs visible in the canopy
- A tree that has started leaning or shifting after storms
- Cracks, splits, or hollow sections in the trunk
- Roots pushing up through your driveway, sidewalk, or walkways
- Storm damage including fallen or split trees
- Overgrown trees blocking light, views, or outdoor space
- Stumps left over from previous removals
- Mushrooms or fungal growth near the base of a tree
Why Professional Tree Services Make Such a Difference
Tree work is genuinely dangerous. Around Melville properties, where large oaks and maples often grow close to homes, fences, and utility lines running along corridors like Sweet Hollow Road, the margin for error is slim. Heavy limbs falling in the wrong direction, improper cuts that invite decay, and equipment near power infrastructure all carry serious risk. Professional tree service takes that risk off your plate.
Beyond safety, hiring the right tree service in Melville means your weekends stay yours. No renting a chipper, no hauling debris, no guessing whether a cut is harming the tree. An experienced crew handles the full job and the full cleanup. And because trained eyes catch warning signs that are easy to miss, regular tree care keeps small issues from turning into urgent removals.
The lasting value is real. Trees that are properly pruned grow with stronger structure. Trimmed canopies stay away from your house. Removing a hazardous tree means you are not anxious every time a storm warning comes through for Suffolk County. Clearing stumps and overgrowth gives you back usable space that felt lost.
