When your trees are properly trimmed, you sleep better during storms. You’re not lying awake wondering if that heavy branch over your driveway is going to come down on your car.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Trees

We start by walking your property with you. You show us what’s concerning you, and we point out things you might not have noticed. Dead branches that need to come down. Growth patterns that could cause problems. Areas where trimming will make the biggest difference.

We explain what we’re going to do before we do it. Which branches we’re removing and why. How we’ll protect your landscaping and your house while we work. What the tree will look like when we’re finished.

The actual trimming happens systematically. We remove dead and diseased wood first, then work on shaping and thinning. Every cut is made properly to promote healing. We use ropes and rigging to control where branches fall, so nothing damages your property. When we’re done, we haul away all the debris and leave your yard cleaner than we found it.

Complete Tree Maintenance Services

What's Included in Our Service

Our tree trimming covers everything your trees need to stay healthy and safe. We remove dead, diseased, and damaged branches that threaten your property. We thin overcrowded areas so air and light can reach all parts of the tree. We shape growth to maintain the tree’s natural form while keeping it away from your house, power lines, and other structures.

We handle both routine maintenance and emergency situations. Seasonal pruning keeps your trees healthy year-round. Storm damage cleanup gets your property safe again quickly. We work with residential and commercial properties, adjusting our approach based on your specific needs and budget.

Every job includes complete debris removal. We don’t leave you with a pile of branches to deal with. Our equipment lets us handle trees of any size safely, and our insurance protects both you and us if anything unexpected happens.

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most tree trimming in our area. Trees are dormant, so they handle pruning better and heal faster. You can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. The exception is spring-flowering trees like dogwoods and cherries – trim those right after they bloom. Dead branches can be removed anytime, and storm damage obviously needs immediate attention regardless of season.
Tree trimming costs depend on the size of your trees, how much work they need, and how accessible they are. Small ornamental trees might cost a few hundred dollars. Large mature trees near your house or power lines cost more because they require specialized equipment and techniques. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Most homeowners find professional trimming costs less than they expected, especially compared to potential property damage from neglected trees.
You can handle small branches on young trees, but anything requiring a ladder or chainsaw is better left to professionals. Tree work is dangerous – more people are injured doing tree work than almost any other home maintenance task. Plus, improper cuts can damage or kill trees, costing you thousands in removal and replacement. Large trees near structures need specialized equipment and techniques to trim safely. The money you save doing it yourself often gets eaten up by emergency room visits or tree replacement costs.
Proper trimming helps trees, but bad trimming can severely damage or kill them. That’s why technique matters so much. We make cuts at the right angle in the right location so trees can heal properly. We never remove more than 25% of a tree’s canopy in one season. We don’t use spikes that wound the trunk, and we don’t top trees or leave stubs that invite disease. When done correctly, trimming makes trees stronger, healthier, and more resistant to storm damage.
Complete cleanup is included in every job. We haul away all branches, twigs, and leaves. We rake up sawdust and small debris. Your property will be cleaner when we leave than when we arrived. We don’t just pile everything at the curb for you to deal with – we load it in our trucks and dispose of it properly. The only thing you’ll notice when we’re gone is how much better your trees look.
Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Tree work involves risks – heavy branches, power tools, and working at height. Our insurance protects you if equipment damages your property and protects our crew if someone gets injured. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. Never hire uninsured tree workers – you could be liable for injuries or property damage if something goes wrong.
