We were very disappointed in the way we were treated by this company. They were referred to us by a very reputable company, and so we felt we were in good hands. We were mistaken. We had a very large spruce tree that had died located near the curb and close to PSEG electrical wires. We called La May for an estimate to remove the tree, cart away the debris, and grind the stump. We were given an estimate. We discussed with LaMay the possibility of PSEG cutting the tree to below the wire line, and LaMay completing the job. Well, PSEG did come, spent two hours cutting the tree below the power line and left the debris on our lawn and that of our neighbor. I notified LaMay that PSEG had cut the tree and left the debris and requested they come to complete the job - cut the trunk of the tree, cart the debris, and grind the stump. I was assured that the original estimate would be modified because PSEG did a big part of the job. Well, it wasn't! LaMay did not like the way PSEG left the debris! They were hoping to sell part of our tree as a telephone pole and now they couldn't! They claimed they sent me a new estimate, which I never received. LaMay did come and competently removed the debris and cut the remainder of the tree trunk. BUT they wanted us to pay the original estimate even though 1/3 of the job was completed by PSEG. After arguing with La May repeatedly, we reluctantly agreed on a price. Rather than accept 2/3 of the original estimate, they wanted more. Will never do business with this company again. read more

Freakin' AMAZING! Sometimes trimming or removing a tree can change your life (or even save it). We had two gigantic (100 ft) pines behind our home, which has a small backyard. These are our neighbors' trees and they encroached on our side, leaving us with millions of needles, thousands of pine cones and sap everywhere. We also faced roof and gutter damage and less sun in the backyard.. It was progressively disgusting! Recently, one showed signs of dying, with many branches brown and needles falling in a continual rain. We informed the neighbor, but as these branches were on our side, they were our responsibility to deal with. So, that is what we did. Any branch pointing toward our home needed to be trimmed - all the way up. We searched for a tree trimming service who could trim the pines all the way up and found LaMay's Tree Service, in Huntington, New York. The first reason we called LaMay's was that they had trucks with Cherry-Pickers. You'll see this device in the photos, but a cherry-picker is the thing you'll see a power company use to get to the lines on a pole - a person sits in a basket that sits at the end of an arm which extends up. Our thinking was that a cherry-picker was the only way we were going to get to the tip-top of these trees - and we felt we had sufficient access to the backyard so that a cherry-picker could get right back there (but we were unsure of that part - and could it extend high enough..100 ft is pretty high). Jason from LaMay's arrived and we were immediately impressed. This is a genuine "Tree Guy", and he knows the business of tree trimming. He looked at the trees and pointed out that they were in decline - he noted that eventually they needed to come down (or they would fall down) - We wanted it down sooner (like immediately - at least on our side). Just by sight, Jason assessed their truck could enter the backyard, and plywood would be used to protect the lawn. But the most amazing thing was that Jason, on his own, walked over to our neighbors, knocked on the door and explained the situation and requested permission to trim the branches back to the tree trunk, which he instructed was the right way to do the job - rather than leaving branch segments that stopped at the property line. Whatever he said to the neighbor, Jason returned with a Big Thumbs Up. What a relief! I think we hired LaMay's and Jason just because he did that one part - He talked to the neighbors for us! You might not know, but tree issues are the root of many a neighbor dispute - but Jason handled that with ease and professionalism - LaMay's was hired! They arrived a few days later (just Jason and TWO workers) with a HUGE truck and we wondered if there were more workers coming - this was no small job - and we wondered whether the truck would really fit through our backyard entrance way. The truck driver and other fellow navigated the truck with ease and within minutes, there was a BIG truck with a cherry-picker parked in our backyard. I observed that the truck fit by a matter of fractions of an inch. How Jason knew it would fit only further amazed me. So one guy strapped up and got into the cherry-picker, the other remained on the ground to collect the branches and feed them into the chopper. TWO GUYS - JUST TWO - that is all it took. And within 2.5 hours, they were done and cleaned out our yard of all debris. (Oh and they trimmed a few other trees as well.) We could not be happier! WOW - just like that. Our lives have changed. No more branches and plenty of sun. No more needles, cones, and now I can clean the gutters ONCE a year rather than the SIX to TEN times I was doing (for a long time). That's our story. We highly recommend LaMay's Tree Service for any tree work you may have, and be sure to ask for Jason when you call because that guy knows his business. He will take AMAZING care of you, just as he did with us. Freakin' AMAZING! read more

See all

So happy to write this review. Lamay Tree Service came highly recommended by the Huntington Fence Company (also another great company) The crew showed up early - which was perfect for us (my husband & I hate to wait to get stuff done!) The 3 men on the crew were polite, maintained appropriate physical distance (trees are usually located OUTSIDE, so masks were not necessary) They went right to work & took down a Huge tree in our yard & several other, smaller trees. In addition, took down 3 branches + + from an enormous tulip tree that was dripping sap/aphids on our deck. Did I mention how quickly & efficiently this task was accomplished? One of the guys did a "high wire act" & took these trees/branches down in a feat of acrobatics that was both safe & extremely entertaining ;^) Start to finish - the job was done, cleaned up & hauled away in a timely way. Everything we had specified about the job was followed & extra things, too! Price quoted by Lamay Tree Service was very reasonable. Would highly recommend this local company to family, friends & neighbors. Thank you Lamay for a job well done!! They WILL be back (soon) read more

I was referred to this company by the former owners of the new house I bought. A tree cane down in the yard and I called. Let me preface this review with the fact It wasn't an emergency It wasn't a dire thing And I expected to wait A woman answered the phone call and I explained to her that I was referred by the former owners and gave my address and she cut me off very rudely and said, I want to let you know not to have any expectations ! we are really really booked and can't get to anything for weeks and I said to her you don't even know what I was going to ask you, and you don't even know whether I can wait a couple of weeks or not because you didn't qualify my call so you're clearly turning away business. Wow really?? I told her how rude she was and I told her that she was not friendly not nice and I told her that no business should ever turn away business because you never know what's gonna happen in the future. Don't bother calling these people they're not worth it. Your time is better well spent somewhere else who appreciates the call and appreciate the business and at least it's nice. read more

Best tree service on LongIsland. With Many years of experience this family run business will do a great job for you. They removed my trees from my backyard with the best quoted price. I recommended them to my Neigbor s and they took great care of them. Thank you ! read more

Don't ever use this horrible company, you asked for an estimate and they go to your house and cut down the tree without any authorization and then try and sue you in court they're a bunch of scam artists and thieves. read more

Have used LaMay's for YEARS! for all tree work as well as tree maintenance; have always found office staff and employees helpful, knowledgable and nice; work has always been done promptly. Recently questioned a bill which had gone up approx. 50% in past 2 years spoke with Bob one of the owners who was rude, unprofessional and basically said "we raised our rates";; take it or leave it attitude. After 25 years with company, I was shocked with his attitude. I have always recommended them but now will let people be aware read more

Man came to my door. First he had the wrong address. Second HE WASN'T WEARING A MASK. Even if I had was expecting the service I would not have opened my door or allowed him in my house...HE WASN'T WEARING A MASK!!!! read more

Down to earth, reliable and affordable company! These guys know what they're doing and they do it well without putting on airs or trying to sell you something that you don't need. Everyone that I've dealt with at LaMay's is friendly and competent. They've cut down two large dead trees in my yard and now I'm using their pest control service for my hemlocks and evergreens. They were recommended to me by a friend who is an established landscape designer. read more

I have been using them for a few years and have found them to be reasonable and more importantly reliable. I would highly recommend them!

I had received a reasonable quote and was told that the work would start the next week. It took almost a month with a couple of inquiry calls that were not returned until I called again. BUT when the work was done it was professional and I was happy with the results. read more

The service was really good all three times I have used them. I also think their charges are reasonable. They also seem to know what they are doing: I had a dormant fruit tree that they trimmed, the following season it produced a bumper crop of edible fruit! read more

Bought my new house & needed my landscape completely redone. They graded my yard, removed my dead trees, put in a natural waterfall made out of boulders and then after taking the time to show me all of my planting options they installed it and I couldn't be happier! Special thanks to Tommy! read more

LaMay's Tree Service came and did wonders for our pool area. The surrounding trees had become quite overgrown and were blocking out a lot of the afternoon sunshine. LaMay's Tree service came gave us a great quote and got the work done in a very quick and professional manner. The results were a pool that was warmer all summer long and got more use late into the fall because of the sunlight it was recieving. Thanks LaMay's Tree Service. read more

Another company that after several calls and voicemail messages don't have the courtesy to call you back. They are extremely busy and don't care. Go with someone that at least respond to your calls! read more
