Safety Enhancement
Eliminate hazardous branches that could fall and cause property damage or injury. Reduce wind resistance and improve structural integrity.
Aesthetic Appeal
Shape and balance your trees to enhance their natural form and improve your landscape's overall appearance and curb appeal.
Our Pruning Services
Crown Cleaning
Removal of dead, diseased, broken, or weakly attached branches from the crown of the tree. This is the most common type of pruning and essential for tree health.
Crown Reduction
Selective removal of branches to decrease the height and/or spread of a tree. This technique maintains the tree's natural form while reducing size.
Crown Thinning
Selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Reduces wind resistance and weight.
Crown Raising
Removal of lower branches to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, or to improve views and access.

Seasonal Pruning Guidelines
Timing is crucial for effective tree pruning. Our experts know the best times to prune each species:
Spring Pruning
Ideal for most species before active growth begins. Remove winter damage and shape trees.
Summer Pruning
Light pruning and removal of water sprouts. Good for controlling growth and improving structure.
Dormant Season
Best time for major pruning. Trees are dormant and less susceptible to stress and disease.
Maintenance Pruning Schedule
Regular pruning maintains tree health and prevents problems:
- Young Trees (1-5 years): Annual structural pruning to establish good form
- Mature Trees: Every 3-5 years for routine maintenance
- Fast-Growing Species: More frequent pruning may be needed
- Emergency Situations: Immediate pruning for safety hazards
