Tree Trimming Services
Are you frustrated with looking at overgrown trees and shrubs in your backyard? Maybe you’ve noticed the trees starting to grow over power lines or other parts of your yard. We aren’t like your other tree removal companies. We bring the good news — you might not have to remove the entire tree, rather, just portions of it!
Tree trimming is a minimally invasive service that many expert arborists offer to help people maintain their yards and the aesthetics of their home while maintaining safety for everyone involved. Continue reading to learn all about tree trimming that could benefit you.

Tree trimming encompasses a few different jobs other than simply trimming the branches on your trees. Let’s take a look.
Branch Trimming
Branch cutting involves removing entire branches from a tree, shrub, or other greenery. It helps promote healthy growth of your tree. Without regular branch trimming, the tree could get overgrown, which could make it more prone to developing diseases or getting eaten up by insects. Additionally, regular branch trimming helps give trees a nice aesthetic appearance. If you’re a business that wants to attract regular customers, having an inviting exterior helps create that appeal. Even if you’re trimming the branches outside your home, it helps it look nice and put together. Who doesn’t want a put-together yard?
Tree Pruning
Pruning your trees involves trimming back any leaves, diseased branches, or dead portions of a tree/shrub. Our experts have the knowledge of common (and not so common) diseases that affect trees and shrubbery.
This helps us know how to treat the issue and prevent it coming back next time. Part of that process involves removing any diseased or dead tree portions.
Safety Tree Care
Safety care for trees and shrubs encompasses any job where arborists and other tree experts clear branches and even a fallen tree away from power lines, roads, and other places that pose safety risks to nearby inhabitants.
This even includes cutting away branches or portions of trees that grow “backwards” into other branches and parts of that tree. It’s equally as important to maintain that type of tree growth; otherwise, the tree could stop growing healthily.
Can You Do It Yourself?
There are certain tree projects that are safe to do by yourself, and there are other tree removal services that are better left to the help of professionals. Chances are, if you’re questioning whether or not it’s safe to do a certain tree project, it’s probably best to give us a call so we can help you out. We want to be your go-to professional arborist!
Why You Need Regular Tree Trimming
Regular professional tree trimming service and care has more benefits than preserving the put-together look of your yard.
For starters, tree trimming services helps prepare you for the winter. By removing dead branches, overgrown branches, and trimming the tree to a natural state, you preserve safety by preventing any parts of the tree from being bogged down by snow and snapping off.
Additionally, regular tree pruning also helps guarantee that there aren’t any diseases eating away at your trees. We hate removing trees solely because they’re infected with disease!
Lastly, it may cost less in the long run to have preventive maintenance completed. This is because maintaining your trees regularly prevents any costly tree removal services or stump grinding procedures from happening. Who wants to spend money if they don’t have to, right?
The Difference Between Tree Trimming and Tree Removal
While pruning a tree and removing a tree are similar when it comes to job type, they can both involve different tasks, time, and equipment depending on the specific project.
Different Scope of Project
Tree trimming is more or less meant as a way to maintain the physical structure and appearance of the tree (or groups of trees). It might be easiest to think of tree trimming as a way to make everything in your yard look beautiful and maintained. To prune trees, you maintain the health of a tree and keep it from posing a safety hazard to the tree and other outside elements (such as roadways and powerlines).
Different Tools Used
Typically, there isn’t much heavy-duty equipment used in tree trimming (unless we trim branches super high up). Branch cutters, shears, and sometimes saws are used. Different tools are used in tree pruning than trimming. While trimming doesn’t require a lot of heavy-duty tools, pruning might, depending on the scope of the project.
