Tree care in Hempstead: what you need to know
The Town of Hempstead is Nassau County's largest town by population, covering dozens of villages and unincorporated communities from the South Shore to the urban core. Tree ordinances vary by jurisdiction — the Village of Hempstead, the Town of Hempstead, and various incorporated villages each have their own rules on permit requirements, protected species, and right-of-way work. We know the distinctions and handle permit filings as part of every applicable job.
Emerald ash borer (EAB) is active in Nassau County DEC treatment zones that include Hempstead. The Town of Hempstead's parkway and street trees include large ash populations that are at risk. For residential ash trees, early treatment can save the tree — but once dieback exceeds 50% of the canopy, removal is typically the only safe outcome. Our ISA-certified arborist can assess any ash tree and provide a written recommendation.
PSEG Long Island's distribution lines run through most of Hempstead's residential neighborhoods. Work involving trees within utility easements requires PSEG coordination, which we handle as part of eligible jobs. For emergency storm damage where lines are involved, we work alongside PSEG crews once power is secured and the scene is safe.
