Tree care in Garden City: what you need to know
Garden City's canopy is one of Nassau County's most valuable — but it comes with real maintenance demands. The village's mature oaks, maples, and elms average 40 to 80 years old, and that age means regular professional attention. Tight side yards and proximity to homes on Stewart Avenue, Hilton Avenue, and Clinton Road corridors make removals and major pruning work that requires rigging experience rather than a straight fell.
The Village of Garden City administers its own tree ordinance through the Building Department at 351 Stewart Avenue — separate from the Town of Hempstead process. Homeowners removing trees near the right-of-way or above a certain caliper threshold need a village permit. We handle that paperwork and know what the village inspector expects.
Emerald ash borer (EAB) is also active in Nassau County DEC treatment zones that include Garden City. If you have an ash tree showing thinning canopy or S-shaped galleries under loose bark, get an ISA arborist assessment before the next growing season. Early treatment with emamectin benzoate injections can save the tree; late-stage EAB means removal is the only safe option.

Emerald ash borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees across the northeast. Nassau County DEC treatment zones include Garden City. If you have an ash tree, we recommend an ISA-certified assessment — early treatment can save the tree, but waiting until visible canopy die-back usually means removal is the only option.
