How Do You Trim Trees Properly?

Proper tree trimming requires expertise, precision, and an understanding of tree biology. Our certified arborists follow industry best practices to ensure your trees remain healthy and structurally sound after trimming.

During tree trimming, our team follows these essential steps:

• Assessing tree health and structure: We evaluate each tree's condition, growth pattern, and specific needs to develop the most appropriate trimming plan.
• Using proper cutting techniques: Our professionals make precise cuts at the correct angles and locations to promote healing and prevent disease or pest entry.
• Following the three-cut method: For larger branches, we use the industry-standard three-cut technique to prevent bark stripping and tree damage.
• Maintaining natural tree shape: We trim to enhance the tree's natural form while addressing safety and health concerns.
• Timing cuts appropriately: We schedule trimming during optimal seasons for each tree species to minimize stress and maximize recovery.

Art's Tree Service:

The Best Local Tree Trimming Company

Our certified arborists are licensed and experienced in providing expert tree trimming solutions. It might be time to schedule professional trimming if you notice any of the following:

• Dead, diseased, or damaged branches
• Branches growing too close to your home or power lines
• Overgrown canopy blocking sunlight

• Crossing or rubbing branches
• Uneven or unbalanced tree shape
• Reduced fruit production in fruit trees

Signs You Need Tree Trimming

Trees that haven't been properly maintained or have experienced storm damage often need professional trimming to restore their health and appearance. Regular trimming helps prevent many problems before they become serious issues.

Here are signs that indicate your trees need professional trimming:

• Branches extending over rooflines or walkways
• Dense canopy preventing light penetration
• Visible dead or dying branches throughout the tree
• Branches interfering with utility lines

• Uneven growth or lopsided appearance
• Suckers growing from the base or trunk
• Storm-damaged or broken branches

If you observe one or more of these signs, contact our professional tree trimming services to schedule an assessment and keep your trees healthy and safe.

When Is The Best Time To Trim Trees?

Timing is crucial for successful tree trimming, as different species have optimal pruning seasons that promote healing and minimize stress.

Generally, the best times for tree trimming include:

• Late winter to early spring: Most deciduous trees benefit from trimming during dormancy, before new growth begins.
• After flowering: Spring-flowering trees should be trimmed immediately after blooms fade to avoid removing next year's flower buds.
• Late summer: Some species benefit from light trimming in late summer to reduce vigorous growth.
• Emergency situations: Dangerous or damaged branches should be removed immediately, regardless of season.
• Species-specific timing: Certain trees like oaks have specific timing requirements to prevent disease transmission.

What To Expect During Professional Tree Trimming

When you schedule professional tree trimming with our team, we follow a systematic approach to ensure the best results for your trees and property.

Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your trees and property. We'll identify which branches need removal, determine the best approach for each tree, and discuss our recommendations with you. Before beginning work, we'll ensure the area is safe and protected.

During the trimming process, our certified arborists use professional-grade equipment and proven techniques to make precise cuts that promote tree health. We carefully lower cut branches to prevent property damage and maintain a clean work area throughout the job.

What's the Difference Between Pruning and Trimming?

While often used interchangeably, pruning and trimming serve different purposes in tree care. Understanding the distinction can help you better communicate your trees' needs and understand our recommendations.

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming typically focuses on maintaining a tree's shape and appearance, removing overgrowth, and ensuring proper clearance from structures. This service is often performed more frequently and addresses aesthetic concerns while promoting healthy growth patterns.

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning is more targeted and health-focused, involving the selective removal of specific branches to improve tree structure, remove disease, or address safety concerns. Pruning requires more expertise in tree biology and is typically performed less frequently but with more precision.

How Does Tree Trimming Benefit Your Property?

Regular tree trimming provides numerous benefits that extend beyond simple aesthetics. Proper trimming enhances your property's curb appeal, increases natural light to your home and landscape, and can even reduce energy costs by strategically managing shade.

From a safety perspective, trimming removes potential hazards like dead branches, reduces wind resistance during storms, and maintains proper clearance from structures and power lines. Well-maintained trees also tend to be healthier, living longer and requiring fewer emergency interventions over time.

Common Tree Trimming Techniques We Use

Our certified arborists employ various trimming techniques depending on your trees' specific needs and goals for the work.

Crown thinning involves selectively removing branches to increase light penetration and air circulation while maintaining the tree's natural shape. Crown reduction reduces the overall size of the tree's canopy, often used when trees have outgrown their space.

Deadwooding removes dead, dying, or diseased branches to improve tree health and eliminate safety hazards. Structural pruning helps young trees develop strong branch architecture, while clearance pruning ensures adequate space between trees and buildings, walkways, or utility lines.
