Services
There is no job too big or too small, we serve residential and commercial and with every job we strive for excellence. Below is just a brief description of the different services we offer:
Pruning
pruning is necessary for healthy tree growth and shape. There are several pruning approaches; when we meet for the estimate we'll take a look at which one will be best for you.

shape tree growth and maintain "architecture"

crown thinning for new growth
-
maintain sound trunk and branch structure
-
wind and storm damage prevention
-
end weight reduction (removal of excess weight at tips to prevent limb failure)
Structural Pruning
removal of dead and diseased wood, removal of problematic crossing limbs, removal of cracked and broken limbs, removal of old pruning stubs, and removal of poorly attached limbs to have its own space to grow into (more so for younger trees to ensure a solid frame)
Crown Cleaning
removal of congested interior, previous stubs and deadwood. Sprout thinning along scaffold limbs
Height Reduction
at times the height of a tree needs to be controlled (i.e. growing under power lines, obstructing a view, etc) we do this by reducing the height down to lateral branches that are at least 4% the diameter of the parent limb they are growing off of. This allows the lateral branch to resume the role of the leader. But cutting back to the correct size lateral branch, "sprouting" is minimized from the cut. Many trees can be reduced in height and still retain a very natural look/shape.
Aesthetic Pruning

NEW! Seasonal Care
As our seasons are ever changing so is the care of your trees. We have recently added our seasonal care page to help guide you through the changing weather.
smaller ornamental types of trees are usually pruned more for aesthetic purposes. This type of pruning is used for highlighting the tree structure through thoughtful thinning and shaping. Also, some trees benefit from the removal of old flower pods for stronger, more vibrant flowering the following season.
