How it works
Walk the property
We look at the tree and what is around it, such as the house, fences and power lines, and talk through the options.
Prune with care
We trim and thin to keep the tree healthy and in good shape, using the right tool for the size of the branch.
Clear it all away
Cut branches are cleared from the yard and taken away.
Questions
Do you trim large trees?
We trim and prune many trees at the property. For very large trees or work near power lines we will tell you if a specialist is the better choice.
Do you remove the cut branches?
Yes. Clearing and hauling the cut branches is part of the job.
When is the best time to prune?
It depends on the tree. Dead and hazardous branches can come off any time, and other pruning is best timed to the species. We will advise when we see it.
Is there a best time of year to trim trees?
Dead and hazardous branches can come off at any time. Routine pruning suits late fall through winter for many trees. Check for active bird nests first.
Do you remove whole trees?
Our focus is trimming, pruning and thinning. Tell us what you need and we will say honestly whether it is a job for us or for a specialist.
