Give Your Trees a Health and Beauty Boost
Tree trimming has numerous benefits for your trees. More than just an aesthetic boost, a regular “haircut” for your trees will leave them healthier and better able to withstand storms and other hazardous weather in our area.
Our Tree Trimming Services
Depending on your tree, there are many goals and reasons to trim a tree. Some of the types of trimming we offer to our customers include:
Elevation Trimming
Elevation trimming, also known as canopy lifting, focuses on removing lower branches to improve clearance under the tree. This trimming also allows more light to reach your grass, making it healthier and more vibrant.
Thinning
Thinning involves the targeted removal of specific branches to reduce canopy density and improve air circulation and light penetration. Even light thinning can make a big difference for trees.
Deadwooding
Deadwooding focuses on removing branches that no longer serve a purpose for a tree, such as dead, diseased, or broken ones. This greatly improves a tree’s ability to withstand storm damage.
Reduction Trimming
Reduction trimming decreases the size of the canopy to make a tree more compact by removing the ends of specific branches. This service lowers the risk of failure in a storm and provides clearance for structures.

Tree Trimming FAQs
When we talk to customers about trimming, they often have plenty of questions about the service and why we do it. To help you better understand its importance, we’ve answered some of the frequently asked questions about it.
Any kind of trimming will cause some stress to a tree. However, when done right, trimming does not cause long-term harm to a tree and helps it grow healthier.
Trimming a tree yourself opens both you and the tree up to harm. To ensure you don’t hurt yourself or damage the development of the tree, have a professional handle the job.
Depending on the tree’s location, we will either have our team climb into the tree or use a bucket truck. We then use rigging to lower the cut branches to the ground without harming your property.
This answer will vary wildly depending on the condition and age of your trees. Generally speaking, for mature trees, we recommend trimming every 3-5 years. However, if your tree hasn’t had trimming in many years, we may need to work on it more frequently until it is no longer overgrown.
For young trees, we typically recommend trimming every 2-3 years to help shape them and promote good growth habits.
The cost will fluctuate depending on how many trees you plan to have our team trim and their condition, size, and location. That’s why we need to see the trees in person, so we can get an idea of everything before we provide an estimate.
