About Big Brothers Tree Service

Lindenhurst-Based, Serving Suffolk County

Big Brothers Tree Service works out of Lindenhurst, on the South Shore of Suffolk County. That is where our office is. From that base we travel across Suffolk County every day — Babylon, Islip, Smithtown, Huntington, Brookhaven and out to the East End — and we take work in Nassau County as well.

We are a licensed and insured tree company. That matters on Long Island, where most of the trees we take down stand close to a house, a garage, a fence, a pool or a neighbor's yard. Insurance protects you if something goes wrong, and it is the first thing we suggest you ask any tree company for, including us. We are happy to send a certificate of insurance before the job.

We work for homeowners and also for property managers, businesses, contractors and builders who need trees taken down, cut back or cleared on a schedule.

Insurance & Equipment

Big Brothers Tree Service is a family-run company with 30+ years in business. We are licensed and fully insured, carrying both general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Homeowners can request a certificate of insurance before work starts — just ask when you book.

We own our equipment, including bucket trucks and cranes, so large and hard-to-reach trees do not depend on renting gear or waiting on another company's schedule.

What We Do

Our work covers the whole life of a tree on your property, from routine pruning to taking it down and grinding out the stump:

• Large and hazardous tree removal — dead, leaning, storm-damaged or oversized trees, taken down in sections when there is no room to drop them.
• Crane work — for big trees over houses or in backyards with no access, a crane lets us lift sections out instead of lowering them onto roofs and lawns.
• Tree trimming and pruning — deadwood removal, crown thinning, clearance over roofs and driveways, and limbs pulled back from service lines.
• Stump grinding — stumps ground below grade so you can replant, reseed or pave over the spot.
• Land clearing — brush, small trees and full lots cleared for additions, pools, driveways and new construction.
• 24/7 emergency tree service — trees on houses, cars and driveways after storms, at any hour.

We also handle commercial tree service for parking lots, office properties and other sites that need trees kept safe and clear.

How a Job Works

1. You call. Call (631) 873-1596 or use the form on our contact page. Tell us what kind of tree it is if you know, roughly how tall it is, where it stands and what is near it. Photos help a lot and can speed up the quote.

2. Free estimate. We look at the tree, the access and what sits underneath it, and give you a free estimate. The price is based on the actual job — size, access, how close it is to structures or wires, and what cleanup you want — so there are no surprises later.

3. Scheduling. Once you approve the price we set a date. If your town or village requires a permit for the removal, check that before the job date; rules differ from one town to the next.

4. Safe work. On the day, the crew sets up a work zone, protects what is underneath and takes the tree down in a controlled way — with ropes, a bucket truck or a crane depending on the job. If a tree is near power lines, utility coordination may be needed first.

5. Full cleanup. We chip the brush, haul away the wood unless you want to keep it, and rake and blow the area clean. If you ordered stump grinding, the stump is ground and the area is left ready for topsoil and seed.
