Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Tree Trimming

First, we come out and assess what actually needs to be done. Not every tree needs the same approach, and we’re not going to trim something that doesn’t need it just to run up your bill.

We explain what we’re doing and why before we start. You’ll know which branches are coming down and why they need to go. We use proper equipment and techniques that won’t damage your trees or your property.

When we’re done, we clean up everything. You won’t find branches in your flower beds or wood chips scattered across your driveway. Your property looks better than when we arrived, just with healthier, safer trees.

When is the best time to trim trees in Baiting Hollow?

Most trees should be trimmed during their dormant season, typically late fall through early spring. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and reduces the risk of disease transmission. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Oak trees specifically should avoid trimming during April through July to prevent oak wilt disease. We evaluate each tree individually because species, age, and health all affect the optimal timing for trimming.
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree’s size, species, location, and complexity of the work needed. Small trees typically range from $200-500, while large mature trees can cost $800-1500 or more. Factors like proximity to power lines, buildings, or difficult access increase the price. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what work needs to be done and why. Emergency trimming after storms typically costs more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved.
Small branches under 2 inches in diameter can often be safely trimmed by homeowners with proper tools and techniques. However, anything larger, higher than you can reach from the ground, or near power lines requires professional expertise. Improper trimming can permanently damage or kill trees, and the safety risks are significant. Professional arborists have the training to make proper cuts, use specialized equipment safely, and understand tree biology. The cost of fixing damage from improper trimming usually exceeds the cost of hiring professionals initially.
Most mature trees benefit from professional evaluation every 3-5 years, though young trees may need more frequent attention to establish proper structure. Fast-growing species or trees in high-stress environments might need annual attention. The key is regular assessment rather than waiting until problems become obvious. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately when spotted. Trees near structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas need more frequent monitoring for safety reasons.
Proper trimming by certified arborists actually improves tree health and doesn’t cause excessive regrowth. The myth about trimming causing thicker growth comes from improper techniques like topping, which severely damages trees. We make strategic cuts that promote healthy growth patterns and remove problematic branches without shocking the tree. Proper trimming reduces wind resistance, eliminates weak branch attachments, and allows better air circulation through the canopy. The result is a stronger, healthier tree that’s less likely to have problems in the future.
Yes, we provide emergency tree trimming services for storm-damaged trees that pose immediate safety hazards. We prioritize situations where trees or large branches are threatening structures, blocking roads, or creating dangerous conditions. Our emergency response typically operates within hours of your call, depending on the severity of the situation and weather conditions. We focus first on making the area safe, then schedule follow-up work to properly address any remaining issues. Regular maintenance customers receive priority scheduling for emergency services.
