The Tree Trimming Process

It is not uncommon for homeowners to have a pair of tree trimmers to clip a few branches here and there. However, the tools you can purchase at your local garden store are likely inefficient for removing larger branches or those in hard-to-reach places.

Our steps for tree trimming and pruning include:

• Tree inspection: We begin our services with a tree inspection so we know which issues should be addressed and understand how we will arrive at solutions. Additionally, we offer free estimates to inform you of our pricing.
• Choose the right tools: We have all the equipment needed to efficiently trim a tree. We’ll select the best instruments to ensure that we can prune your trees as well as possible.
• Remove decaying or damaged branches: We will begin by cutting branches that are in danger of falling off or infected with disease. This will help to keep your property safe.
• Make any cosmetic changes: Once potentially dangerous branches have been removed, we can leave the tree as is, or continue trimming to make it more symmetrical or match your aesthetic preferences.

How Do You Tell if a Tree Needs to Be Trimmed?

Identifying when a tree needs trimming involves looking for several specific signs. Here are some key indicators that a tree requires pruning:

• Dead or Unhealthy Branches: Branches that appear dead, unhealthy, or diseased indicate that trimming is necessary. Removing these branches helps maintain the tree’s overall health and safety.
• Intertwined or Rubbing Branches: Branches that cross or rub against each other can create wounds, making the tree susceptible to disease and decay. Pruning these branches can prevent such problems.
• Thick Canopy: An overly dense canopy can restrict sunlight and air circulation, which are essential for a tree's well-being. Thinning the canopy can improve these conditions.
• Irregular Shape or Structure: Trees with uneven shapes or poor structural form can benefit from pruning to achieve a more balanced and attractive shape, which is particularly important for young trees.
• Low-Hanging Branches: Branches that hang too low over pathways, driveways, or roofs can pose safety hazards and may need to be trimmed.
• Damaged or Weak Limbs: After severe weather, check for broken or cracked branches. These can be dangerous and should be removed to prevent accidents.
• Obstructive Growth: Branches growing too close to power lines, buildings, or other structures require trimming to avoid potential damage and ensure safety.
• Suckers and Water Sprouts: These are vigorous shoots growing from the tree's base or along its branches. They can drain the tree’s energy and should be pruned.
• Seasonal Pruning: Regular pruning is often done in late winter or early spring when trees are dormant, promoting healthy growth in the upcoming season.

Regularly inspecting your trees and consulting with a professional arborist can help determine the optimal times and methods for trimming, ensuring the health and safety of the trees.
