What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

You get trees that won’t surprise you during the next storm. Dead branches and weak limbs get removed before they fall on your roof, car, or power lines.

Your property looks better too. Professional pruning opens up blocked views, lets more sunlight reach your lawn, and keeps trees healthy for decades longer than neglected ones.

The peace of mind is worth everything. No more wondering if that heavy branch over your driveway will hold up through another winter. No more worrying about liability if a tree damages your neighbor’s property.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Your Service

First, we assess your trees to identify dead, diseased, or structurally weak branches that need removal. We also look for branches that are too close to your house, power lines, or other structures.

Then we trim strategically. We don’t just hack away randomly – proper pruning follows the tree’s natural growth patterns to promote health while removing hazards. We use professional equipment to reach high branches safely without damaging your property.

How often should trees be professionally trimmed in Pennsylvania?

Most mature trees in Pennsylvania benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees like maples and willows may need attention every 2-3 years, while slower-growing oaks can go 5-7 years between major trimmings. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of when the tree was last trimmed. We recommend having your trees assessed annually to catch problems before they become dangerous, especially after severe storms that can weaken branch structures even if no visible damage occurred.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming and pruning are often used interchangeably, but technically pruning is more precise work focused on tree health and structure. Trimming usually refers to removing overgrown branches for appearance or clearance from buildings and power lines. Pruning involves selective removal of specific branches to improve the tree’s health, promote proper growth patterns, and prevent future problems. Both services remove dead, diseased, or hazardous branches. For most homeowners, the distinction doesn’t matter much – what matters is having someone who understands proper cutting techniques that won’t damage the tree or encourage disease.

Is it safe to trim trees near power lines myself?

Never attempt to trim trees near power lines yourself. Even branches that aren’t directly touching wires can conduct electricity, especially when wet. Power lines carry enough voltage to cause serious injury or death, and tree branches can energize unexpectedly during cutting. Most utility companies have specific protocols for tree work near their lines and may require the power to be shut off temporarily. Professional tree services have the training, equipment, and insurance necessary to work safely around electrical hazards. Contact your utility company first – they may handle the work themselves or provide guidance on approved contractors.

When is the best time of year for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming in Pennsylvania, when trees are dormant and won’t bleed sap excessively. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees have specific timing requirements – for example, oaks should be trimmed in late fall or winter to prevent oak wilt disease, while maples are best trimmed in late summer to minimize sap loss. Spring flowering trees should be trimmed right after they bloom to avoid removing next year’s flower buds. Emergency storm damage obviously can’t wait for ideal timing, and safety always takes priority over optimal tree care timing.

How much does professional tree trimming cost in the Lehigh Valley?

Tree trimming costs vary significantly based on tree size, location, and complexity of the work. Small trees under 25 feet typically cost $200-500 to trim, while large mature trees can range from $500-1500 or more. Trees near power lines, buildings, or other obstacles cost more due to the additional safety precautions required. Emergency storm damage cleanup usually carries premium pricing due to the urgent response needed. The best approach is to get quotes from several local companies, but remember that the cheapest option isn’t always the best value – inexperienced crews can damage trees or property, costing much more in the long run.

What should I look for when hiring a tree trimming company?

Verify that any tree service company carries both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage – ask to see current certificates. Look for companies with proper equipment rather than crews showing up with just chainsaws and pickup trucks. Avoid door-to-door solicitors, especially after storms, as legitimate companies rarely need to hunt for work this way. Get written estimates that specify exactly what work will be performed and what cleanup is included. Be wary of companies demanding full payment upfront or offering prices significantly below other quotes. Check that they’ll obtain any necessary permits and coordinate with utility companies for work near power lines.
