Tree Services in Suffolk County
A Huntington homeowner pays the town $25 for every 5 trees before the saw starts, and the next town over may ask for something else. The companies below are grouped under the Suffolk town where each is based. Suffolk's code names tree pruners and stump removers outright, so every company here should have a county license number to give you.
Suffolk has ten towns. Huntington and Babylon are at the west end, and Riverhead, Southold, Southampton, East Hampton and Shelter Island are out east. Every company below needs a Suffolk County home improvement license. Until a company’s number has been run through the county search, its card says so.
The companies in this snapshot cluster in two places: around Huntington Station on the North Shore, and around Riverhead, Aquebogue and Calverton at the start of the North Fork. Since each town writes its own tree rules, ask the company which ones apply at your address.
Town of Riverhead 4 companies
Town of Huntington 3 companies
Town of Islip 2 companies
Town of Brookhaven 1 company
Town of Southampton 1 company
Suffolk County tree service questions
How can I check a Suffolk tree company's license?
Suffolk Consumer Affairs runs a licensed contractor search, and the office answers at 631-853-4600. Tree pruning and stump removal both count as home improvement work in Suffolk.
Is there a Suffolk County tree permit?
No. Long Island Tree Pros says Suffolk leaves tree rules to its towns, and villages such as Northport and Port Jefferson can have their own on top. Huntington's application, for one, costs $25 for every 5 trees.
When should oaks be pruned in Suffolk?
In the cold months. Oak wilt was first found on Long Island in the Town of Islip in 2016, and NYS DEC says to leave oaks alone in spring and summer and prune them from October to February.
