Your trees stay healthy, your property stays safe, and you sleep better during storms. That’s what happens when trimming is done right.

Proper tree trimming isn’t just about cutting branches. It’s about understanding how trees grow, what they need to thrive, and how to shape them without causing damage that leads to disease or death.

When you invest in professional tree care, you’re protecting your biggest landscape investment. Healthy trees increase property value, provide shade that cuts cooling costs, and create the kind of curb appeal that makes neighbors take notice.

Tree Trimming Process

How We Handle Your Tree Trimming

First, we assess your trees and identify what needs attention. Not every tree needs the same approach, and we’ll explain exactly what we’re seeing and why certain cuts make sense.

Next, we handle the actual trimming using proper techniques that promote healthy growth. We make clean cuts at the right angles, remove dead or diseased branches first, and shape the tree to improve both safety and appearance.

Finally, we clean up completely. Every branch, every twig, every piece of debris gets removed from your property. You shouldn’t have to deal with the mess after we’ve done the work.

When is the best time to trim trees in Brookhaven?

Late fall through early spring works best for most trees in our area. During dormant season, trees handle pruning stress better and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves blocking the view. We avoid trimming during active growing seasons unless it’s an emergency situation. Oak trees specifically should never be pruned during spring and early summer due to oak wilt disease risk. The timing also depends on what type of tree you have – flowering trees like dogwoods need different timing than shade trees to avoid cutting off next year’s blooms.
Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and accessibility around your property. Small ornamental trees might run a few hundred dollars, while large mature oaks or maples requiring bucket truck access cost more. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees – what we quote is what you pay. The investment makes sense when you consider that proper trimming extends tree life, prevents property damage, and maintains your landscape value. Emergency work after storms typically costs more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved.
Proper trimming actually helps trees grow stronger and healthier. When done correctly, pruning removes dead or diseased wood, improves air circulation, and directs energy toward healthy growth. The key is making clean cuts at the right locations and not removing more than 25% of the canopy in a single season. Bad trimming – like topping or leaving stubs – definitely hurts trees and can kill them. That’s why technique matters so much. We follow arborist standards that promote long-term tree health rather than just making trees smaller for the sake of size reduction.
Yes, complete cleanup is included in every job. We remove all cut branches, twigs, and debris from your property – you won’t find wood chips scattered across your lawn or piles of branches left behind. Our crew brings tarps to protect your landscaping during the work and uses professional equipment to haul everything away. Many homeowners are surprised by how much debris tree trimming creates, especially on larger trees.
