Our tree pruning & care services keep your trees healthy, your yard clean, and your property protected.
Overgrown trees don't just look bad.
They break.
A lot of time, care, and consideration go into keeping them that way. But with everything life demands, regular pruning and maintenance quietly slides down the priority list. Before long, they've gone untrimmed too long — and those dense canopies become liabilities fast. Blocked light, stressed limbs, and real safety risks that sneak up on you.
We prune with purpose, so your trees stay beautiful, and your property stays protected.
Healthy trees don't just happen by accident.

“They were able to provide me lots of information on not just what work they thought needed to be done but why, which I really appreciated. They even grabbed and chipped my brush pile. Final cost was less than estimated, which is always a nice surprise!”
"Crew was very quick and efficient, did a great job cleaning up our gnarly old willow tree. "
Crown reduction is one of the most misunderstood services in tree care — and one of the easiest to get wrong.
Topping a tree (removing the crown entirely) seems like a fast solution for an overgrown tree, but it creates far worse problems than it solves.
Proper crown reduction is different. It works by strategically shortening and selectively removing branches — preserving the tree's natural form while reducing its size and relieving structural stress. The result looks intentional, not hacked.
There's also a hard rule worth knowing: no more than 30% of a mature tree should be reduced within a 12-month period. Push past that, and you're shocking the tree's system. For significantly overgrown trees, proper reduction is often a multi-year process — and that's not a flaw in the approach, it's the point. Patience is what separates tree care from tree damage.
Crown reduction isn't a service you want to guess on. Our team understands the importance of proper cuts, sequencing, and timing — so your tree comes back healthier, more structurally sound, and better looking.

Tree Crown Reduction
Low-hanging branches limit visibility, scratch vehicles, crowd walkways, and make even healthy trees look neglected. Tree crown raising removes the lower limbs of a tree, and the difference is immediate. Raise the crown, and the whole property opens up. More light reaches the ground, people and vehicles move freely, and your trees go from heavy and overgrown to intentional and elegant.
Tree Crown Raising
- Correction of poor pruning
- Removal of dead limbs
- Crossing branch selective removal
- Tree Crown or raising (learn more below!)
- Canopy thinning to prevent tree stress, wind resistance and/or damage
When you look up through a healthy tree, you should see sky. If you can't, the canopy is too dense — and that's a problem. Dense canopies trap wind and create resistance until something gives, usually a limb, sometimes the whole tree. Regular, proper pruning is essential for both tree health and safety.
Tree Pruning
Let’s be honest. Unruly shrubs and hedges look bad. But they can also be problematic. How many times have you backed up your vehicle and found an overgrown shrub is blocking your line of sight? Not to mention, they can conceal tripping hazards, scratch cars (or kiddos), damage fencing, or provide the perfect hiding place for unwanted pests. Our shrub and hedge pruning services boost curb appeal while keeping your property and surroundings safe.

Don't cut anything else. The tree is already stressed. Further trimming at this point will compound the damage. Leave it alone while it stabilizes.
Watch for warning signs. In the weeks and months following, keep an eye out for excessive dead branches, bark splitting, or large amounts of water sprouts — the rapid, weak shoots that often emerge after topping. These are signs that the tree is struggling and needs professional attention.
Call a professional sooner. Our team can assess structural damage, identify any disease or pest activity that may have entered through the exposed cuts, and develop a recovery plan. In some cases, the tree can be rehabilitated over time with corrective pruning. In others, removal is the safer long-term choice.
Be patient. Recovery from topping is a slow process when it's possible at all. A tree that has been topped will never fully return to its original form, but with proper care, it can stabilize, stay healthy, and remain a valuable part of your property for years to come.
Help! I already cut off the crown of my tree. Now what?
Pruning is the selective removal of branches to improve a tree's health, structure, appearance, and safety. It addresses dead or damaged limbs, crossing branches, and overall canopy density.
Crown raising is a specific type of pruning with a specific goal — removing the tree's lower branches. Where general pruning looks at the whole tree, crown raising focuses entirely on clearance from the ground up. It's typically done to improve sightlines, create clearance for vehicles and foot traffic, let more light reach the ground, or simply give the tree a more open, intentional appearance.
What is the difference between tree crown raising and pruning?
The right timing can vary by species and size. But, generally speaking, late winter to early spring is the best time — just before new growth begins.
