Our Trimming & Pruning Services

We offer a full range of professional pruning services tailored to your trees' specific needs and your property goals. Our arborists evaluate each tree individually, considering species, age, health, and location before recommending appropriate pruning techniques.

Pruning Techniques We Use:

• Crown Cleaning: Removal of dead, dying, diseased, or weak branches
• Crown Thinning: Selective branch removal to increase light and air penetration
• Crown Raising: Removing lower branches to provide clearance for structures or pedestrians
• Crown Reduction: Reducing tree height or spread while maintaining natural form
• Structural Pruning: Developing strong tree structure in young trees
• Vista Pruning: Selective trimming to improve views while maintaining tree health
• Deadwooding: Complete removal of all dead wood throughout the canopy

For severely overgrown trees or those that haven't been maintained in years, we develop multi-year pruning plans that gradually restore proper structure without shocking the tree. If a tree is beyond rehabilitation, our tree removal specialists can safely remove it and discuss replacement options.

When to Trim Your Trees

Timing is critical for successful tree pruning. While some light maintenance can occur year-round, major pruning should be scheduled based on species and desired outcomes. Most deciduous trees benefit from dormant season pruning (late fall through early spring), when trees are not actively growing and disease pathogens are less active.

However, there are exceptions. Spring-flowering trees should be pruned immediately after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds. Oak trees in our region should only be pruned during dormancy to minimize oak wilt risk. Our arborists understand these nuances and will recommend optimal timing for your specific trees.

Emergency pruning for broken or hazardous branches should never wait for ideal timing. Safety always takes priority, and our team is available to address urgent situations promptly.
