Why You Should Keep Trees Trimmed

Proper tree trimming offers several benefits centered on health, beauty, safety, and property aesthetics.

Removing dead and diseased branches, usually in winter, stops the spread of diseases and insects that infect trees. Removal also improves the circulation of both air and sunlight through the remaining branches and reduces the strain of unnecessary branch weight.

Careful pruning restores the natural shape and beauty of your tree and also promotes fresh new growth. Let us prune to slow tree growth so the plant remains smaller and more manageable. 

A properly trimmed tree is a safer tree. Let us remove dead or low-hanging branches that threaten both people and property, or have us trim branches that block traffic visibility. Trimming also promotes a stronger tree that is better able to withstand storms, so you'll face less of a threat from falling limbs.

Maintain or improve the aesthetics of your property by removing trees that block your view or keep sunlight from reaching your lawn. This "vista pruning" can actually increase the value of your property!

Well-Timed Pruning Makes a Difference

Don't guess about when it's time to trim your trees and shrubs. Let us apply our years of knowledge and experience and perform the pruning when it's best.

Pruning is usually done in winter when tree dormancy reduces the risk of fungi and sap loss and also promotes new growth in the following spring, but sometimes a summer trim is the best option. Just let us know what your goal is and we'll help you decide.

You'll also benefit from our understanding of Midwest conditions, local ordinances, and ongoing health threats like the emerald ash borer.

Know Your Pruning Options

Being familiar with tree trimming terminology can help you discuss what you need done and understand any recommendations we make after we inspect your property.
  • Maintenance trimming removes diseased, dying, and dead branches, as well as branches that cross and threaten other limbs
  • Cut back pruning removes branches that cover or block structures like sidewalks, buildings, electric lines, and lights
  • Hazard reduction pruning removes large deadwood for safety reasons
  • Crown raising removes lower branches to allow access along a drive, walk, or parking area
  • Crown reduction removes less than a third of the tree's top in order to control the shape
  • Fine tree pruning removes branches and deadwood from small or immature trees
