Tree Pruning
Professional tree pruning involves selectively removing branches based on the condition of the tree and the reason for the work. The goal is not simply to cut as much as possible. We look at what needs attention and remove the branches that are creating the problem.
Tree Trimming Around Homes
Branches growing around homes, fences, garages and landscaping require controlled work. We assess where cut branches can safely move or fall before trimming begins and take care around the surrounding property.
FAQ
What Is the Difference Between Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Trimming commonly refers to controlling overgrowth or improving clearance, while pruning tends to focus more specifically on the selective removal of damaged, hazardous or unwanted branches. Read Tree Service can assess the tree and recommend the appropriate work.
Is Tree Trimming Necessary If a Tree Looks Healthy?
Not always. Healthy trees may still need selective trimming when branches are interfering with a roof, driveway, structure or other part of the property. We can assess the tree and determine whether trimming is actually needed.
How Often Should Trees Be Trimmed?
There is no single schedule that applies to every tree. The appropriate timing depends on the type, age, condition and location of the tree, as well as why the trimming is needed. An assessment can help determine when work should be done.
Can You Trim Branches Hanging Over My Roof or Driveway?
Yes. Branches that extend over roofs, driveways and other areas can be selectively trimmed to improve clearance. We assess the surrounding property and plan the cuts so the work can be completed with care around the structure or access area.
Can Storm-Damaged Branches Be Trimmed?
Yes. Broken or damaged branches may need to be removed after a storm, particularly when they are hanging over a home, driveway, vehicle or other area where they create a hazard. We can assess the damage and determine what branches need to be removed.
Will Tree Trimming Damage My Tree?
Properly planned trimming is intended to address specific branches rather than remove unnecessary growth. We assess the tree and the reason for the work before determining what should be cut.
