Professional Tree Care Services

Your Trees, Healthier and Safer

You want trees that enhance your property instead of threatening it. That means branches that don’t scrape your roof during windstorms, trees that grow strong instead of weak, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family and home are protected.

Proper tree trimming isn’t just about making things look neat. It’s about removing dead wood before it falls, opening up canopies so trees can handle wind better, and catching problems early before they become expensive emergencies.

When your trees are properly maintained, you get better curb appeal, healthier growth, and fewer middle-of-the-night calls about branches on your car. Your property stays protected, your trees stay strong, and you can actually enjoy having mature trees instead of worrying about them.

Tree Trimming Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a thorough assessment of your trees, looking for dead wood, crossing branches, and potential hazards. Our certified arborists identify what needs to be trimmed and explain exactly why each cut matters for your tree’s health and your property’s safety.

The actual trimming follows proper arborist techniques. We make precise cuts that promote healing, remove weight from the right areas, and maintain the tree’s natural shape. No topping, no random cutting, just strategic pruning that improves structure and health.

After we finish, we handle all cleanup and debris removal. You’re left with healthier trees, a cleaner property, and the confidence that the work was done right. We also point out anything else you should watch for and let you know when your trees might need attention again.

How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species and condition. Fast-growing trees like maples might need attention more frequently, while slower-growing oaks can often go longer between trimmings. We recommend having your trees assessed annually so you can catch problems early and plan trimming when it’s most beneficial for tree health. Dead or damaged branches should be removed immediately regardless of when the tree was last trimmed.

Is tree trimming safe to do near power lines?

Tree trimming near power lines requires special training and equipment – it’s not safe for homeowners to attempt. We’re trained to work around electrical hazards and follow strict safety protocols when trimming near power lines. For branches actually touching power lines, we coordinate with your utility company to ensure the work is done safely. Never try to trim branches near power lines yourself, even if the power appears to be off. The risk of electrocution is too high.

What's the difference between trimming and topping trees?

Tree trimming involves selective removal of specific branches to improve health and structure, while topping means cutting off the main stems or large branches at arbitrary points. Trimming promotes healthy growth and maintains the tree’s natural shape. Topping severely damages trees, creates weak growth, and actually makes them more dangerous over time. Professional arborists never top trees because it destroys their structure and health. Proper trimming might remove less wood initially, but it keeps your trees strong and attractive long-term.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs vary based on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and accessibility. Smaller trees might cost a few hundred dollars, while large mature trees requiring extensive work can cost significantly more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. The investment in professional trimming usually pays for itself by preventing property damage and avoiding the much higher cost of emergency tree removal after storm damage.

When is the best time of year to trim trees?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best time for most tree trimming because trees are dormant and won’t be stressed by the pruning. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees, like maples, are best trimmed in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We can advise you on the optimal timing for your specific trees based on their species and condition. Emergency trimming after storms obviously happens whenever necessary.

Do you clean up all the branches and debris?

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in our tree trimming service. We don’t just cut and leave – we haul away all branches, wood chips, and debris from your property. Many homeowners are surprised by how much waste tree trimming can generate, and disposing of it yourself can be a major hassle. We handle everything from small twigs to large branches, leaving your property cleaner than when we arrived. If you want to keep some of the wood for firewood, just let us know and we can leave it stacked neatly for you.
