When trimming and pruning is the right call

Improve safety, clearance, and tree health with proper pruning

Pruning has many objectives, from managing risk to improving aesthetics. We recommend trimming and pruning when a tree needs clearance, better structure, or deadwood removal, and when the goal is to keep the tree healthy and compatible with your property. We follow ANSI A300 guidance and avoid harmful practices like topping and lion’s tailing.

  • Dead, broken, or hanging limbs (deadwooding)
  • Canopy clearance over roofs, driveways, sidewalks, and patios
  • Reduce weight on long, overextended limbs
  • Shape and size control for trees that have outgrown the space

  • Restore canopy after storm damage (when the tree can be retained)

How we work

Our tree trimming and pruning process

Every trimming job starts with a plan and ends with a clean site. We evaluate the tree’s condition and your goals, then use proper pruning cuts to reduce risk, improve structure, and maintain a natural canopy. The result is safer trees, cleaner lines, and healthier growth over time.

Structural and clearance pruning done the right way

Proper pruning is not just cutting branches. It is selecting the right limbs, using the right cuts, and preserving a balanced canopy so the tree stays healthy and stable.
