Tree Care & Trimming

Most people call a tree service to maintain the size of our trees. Many tree services will do the work as you request and trim your trees. Is the work you ask for the only work that your trees need? Will your trees improve in health from the work that is done? Will your future tree care costs increase or decrease from the work that is done? Let's get some answers and have our trees maintained, not just trimmed.

The difference between trimming trees and maintaining them is in the reasons for the work being done. Tree trimming is usually only addressing the size and shape of the tree. By only cutting limbs to reduce a tree's size, the health problems are left in the tree to cause further damage and eventually be a cause for the premature death of the tree. Don’t have trees trimmed. Have your trees pruned.

Tree pruning is done by primarily removing diseased, dead, broken and rubbing limbs from a tree. These are the limbs, usually within the canopy of the tree and not at the outer edge of the tree canopy, that are presenting current and future health problems for a tree. The overall size of the tree, and the desired size of the tree, should be addressed after the health problems have been taken care of in the work. The best investment in your trees, and your landscape, is to maintain the health of the plants and not just the size of them.
