Locally owned · Insured up to $2 million · Free estimates
Shrubs get sheared to a clean line and thinned enough that light reaches the interior, so they do not go bare and woody in the middle. Arborvitae, yews, lilacs, spirea, and hydrangeas each want different timing and a different cut, and we prune them accordingly.
On small trees we do structural pruning: crossing and rubbing limbs, deadwood, suckers, and clearance over walks, drives, and rooflines. Cuts are made at the branch collar so the tree can seal them. We do not top trees, and we do not take down large or hazardous ones — that is a climbing arborist's job and we will tell you when you need one.

Common questions
- When is the best time to prune?
- It depends on the plant. Spring bloomers get pruned after they flower, most shrubs take a shearing in early summer, and structural work on trees is best in late winter. Tell us what you have and we will time it right.
- Do you haul away the clippings?
- Yes, always. Disposal is part of the price we quote.
- Do you take down trees?
- We prune small trees and clear reachable limbs. Large removals and anything near power lines should go to a licensed climbing arborist, and we will say so rather than take the risk.
