Why is Tree Pruning Important? 

Pruning is an essential practice for healthy tree care that we perform and, when executed properly, is one of the best things we can do for a tree. The most common types of pruning are structural, cleaning, thinning, and raising. Structural pruning is performed on young and middle-aged trees to develop a sustainable trunk and branch arrangement, the younger the tree, the better.

Our Trusted Tree Cleaning Service 

Cleaning is the selective removal of dead, diseased, detached, and broken branches to help reduce the movement of decay, insects, and disease into the rest of the tree. It is preferred on mature trees because it does not remove live branches unnecessarily but is performed on trees of any age.

Tree Thinning 

Tree thinning is the selective removal of live branches to reduce crown density to increase sunlight penetration and air movement through the crown.

Tree Raising 

Raising is the selective removal of branches to provide vertical clearance for buildings, signs, vehicles, and pedestrians.

Utilizing Best Practices to Care for Your Trees 

All pruning work is performed following the ANSI A300 pruning industry standards. Please do not top trees – Topping is an inappropriate practice that should be avoided.


Removals – We have the expertise and equipment to remove large and complicated trees and smaller trees.


Stumping – Using our remote-controlled stumper on tracks, we can get virtually any stump with little impact on your turf and can fit through a 41" gate opening.


Cabling and Bracing Trees – We can often repair damaged trees and healthy trees with a poor structure to reduce the chance of failure and prolong their existence by installing cabling and bracing.
