Why Trim a Tree? If tree removal is our most popularly request service, tree trimming should be. Professional trimmed trees not only enhance the beauty of your trees and landscape, but it also improves their health. Untrimmed trees quickly become unsightly, unhealthy, and at times hazardous. Most trees need to be trimmed every three to five years in order to maintain their shape and health. Especially with older trees (over 15-20 years), dead branches can make the tree unsightly and dangerous. Further, tree branches touching your home or business will likely void your homeowner's insurance policy.
Tree trimming is part art and science. The science part of tree trimming can be learned by almost anyone; however to artfully trim trees is a skill based on years of experience. Over-trimming a tree potentially risks disease and makes the tree look unnatural. Under-trimming a tree has a little beneficial effect. The key with tree trimming is to re-shape the tree and eliminate dead, damaged, or diseased limbs and branches. Tree trimming can truly be transformational your trees and landscape. |

Each species of tree should be trimmed a bit differently. This is due to a variety of factors: the natural shape of the crown; growth pattern; age, how it fits into the landscape; and the condition and shape of the tree at the time of trimming. And, during the process of trimming, our arborist will advise you on the condition and health of the tree as there is no better opportunity to assess this than during trimming.
We may be conflicted when we write this, but 80% to 90% of all landscape trees could use a good trimming or at least a major pruning. Unfortunately, most people ignore their trees, assuming they will take care of themselves. Well, in fact, they will take care of themselves for the most part, however, to remain safe and atheistically pleasing in your landscape is not something a tree naturally does. Further, an untrimmed tree can also cause problems in your landscape, such as not allowing grass and other plantings to grow. Trimming will definitely help in this regard.
