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.
