Tree Trimming
Cut to the branch collar, not to the shape of a hedge
Bad tree work is permanent. Topping a tree — cutting the crown back to stubs — does not control its size; it triggers a flush of weak, fast growth from dormant buds that is more likely to fail in wind than what was removed, and it leaves wounds too large to seal. Proper trimming works to the branch collar, takes whole limbs back to a lateral, and never removes more of the canopy than the tree can afford in a season. What that gets you is a tree that stays the shape it is meant to be, lets light through to what is planted under it, and does not drop a limb on the roof. We handle crown thinning and raising, deadwood removal, clearance from roofs, lines and driveways, hedge shaping, and full removals with the debris hauled away.
Our Process
Free Estimate
We look at the tree, what it is threatening, and what it can afford to lose this season — then quote the work, not a guess.
Agree the Cut
How much comes off and from where, before anyone goes up. Nobody should find out what a tree will look like afterwards.
Trim to the Collar
Limbs taken back to a lateral or the branch collar, so the wounds seal. No topping, no stub cuts.
Clear the Site
Brush chipped, wood cut down, and everything hauled away. The yard is left cleaner than we found it.
