Our Tree Pruning Process
We never recommend trying to prune or trim mature trees by yourself. However, this is the process you can expect our licensed team to follow:
Tree Assessment
Our trimming team will come to your property to view the trees you want us to trim and learn more about them, along with any objects that may be nearby or factors such as the tree’s species, distance from your property line, and more.
Recommendations
We’ll provide our recommendations and outline how we’ll trim or prune your tree.
Trimming Day
On the day of your trimming, we’ll bring our specialized pole saws, loppers, and any climbing gear or machinery we might need to access the branches. We’ll remove any deadwood or broken branches and low-hanging limbs, as well as those that may interfere with power lines or otherwise present a safety risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
While nobody necessarily wants to remove a tree altogether, we realize that it’s important to remove them if they’re diseased or dead so they don’t spread diseases to other trees or cause harm when their branches break off. North County can provide tree removal as part of our overall services if we determine the tree cannot be saved with trimming.
