Why Hire Professionals for Tree & Shrub Trimming?
Trimming and pruning trees and shrubs does more than enhance curb appeal—it strengthens plants, promotes healthy growth, and improves overall function.
Incorrect pruning can damage a tree’s health, stability, and appearance. Ignoring pruning altogether can lead to weak stems, low-hanging aggressive limbs, bark inclusions, and dead branch buildup.
Trees near your home pose additional risks: untrimmed branches can damage roofs, siding, or nearby structures during storms.
While minor trimming can be done year-round, the best time for most trees is during dormancy—late fall through early spring. Flowering shrubs, however, should be pruned after they bloom to maintain flower production and encourage healthy growth. Pruning too early can reduce the number of blooms the following season.
Types of Tree & Shrub Trimming and Pruning
Crown Cleaning
Removes dead, diseased, or broken branches to prevent structural damage and keep trees and shrubs healthy.
Crown Thinning
Selectively removes live branches in the canopy to increase sunlight and airflow, promoting healthier growth and reducing storm damage.
Crown Raising
Removes lower branches to raise the tree’s crown, improving visibility, overhead clearance, and safety around power lines, buildings, and walkways.
Reduction Pruning
Thins and shortens live branches to reduce overall size, allowing more sunlight to reach lower plants and improving overall tree structure.
Structural Pruning
Guides young trees’ growth by improving branch spacing, orientation, and overall strength for long-term stability.
Restoration Pruning
Removes live or dead branches after storm or structural damage to restore the tree or shrub’s natural form and growth habit.
Root Pruning
Used when roots interfere with walkways, foundations, or other structures to prevent damage while maintaining healthy growth.
