Tree trimming and pruning are crucial for keeping trees healthy and well-maintained. When done incorrectly, pruning can lead to damage to a tree's structure. Broken and dead branches can fall at any time, obstructing a vehicle's visibility or posing a threat to power lines. In some cases, tree limbs may be growing too close to utility lines and may need to be removed.

In some cases, your neighbor's tree may cross your property and you're legally allowed to cut down its branches. But if you cut down a neighbor's tree without permission, you're liable for three times the value of the tree! 

Tree pruning is necessary for the health of your trees. But it's also an essential part of maintaining your property's aesthetic appeal. Our professional arborists evaluate and balance aesthetics and plant safety. A neglected aspect of young trees is structural pruning. Trees evolved in forests, where they grew straight. When planted in full sun, they develop multiple stems and are more susceptible to failure. A tree trimmed improperly can lead to disease or injury.
