What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

Your trees look better, but more importantly, they’re safer. Properly trimmed trees don’t drop branches on your roof during the next storm. They don’t scrape against your house when the wind picks up. They don’t create blind spots in your driveway or block your view.

Well-maintained trees also grow stronger. When you remove dead, diseased, or competing branches, the tree can focus its energy on healthy growth. This means fewer problems down the road and trees that actually add value to your property instead of threatening it.

You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing a professional looked at your trees and handled the risky work. No more wondering if that branch hanging over your car is going to come down in the next storm.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your trees and identify what needs attention. Dead branches, diseased sections, branches that are too close to structures or power lines. We look for potential problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Then we trim using proper techniques that promote healthy growth. This isn’t about hacking branches off randomly. We make precise cuts that help the tree heal properly and grow stronger. We remove branches that compete with each other and thin areas that are too dense.

Finally, we clean up everything. You shouldn’t have to deal with piles of branches and debris after we’re done. We haul away all the trimmings and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Late fall through early spring is typically best for most tree species in Pennsylvania. Trees are dormant during this time, which means less stress on the tree and better healing. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Storm-damaged trees also need prompt attention to prevent further damage. Some trees, like maples, are best trimmed in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. We can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing based on their species and condition.
Tree trimming costs depend on the size of the tree, how much work is needed, and accessibility. Small trees might cost $200-400, while large trees requiring extensive work can run $800-1500 or more. Emergency storm damage work typically costs more due to urgency and hazardous conditions. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what work will be performed and what it costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment is usually much less than dealing with property damage from untrimmed trees.
Small branches that you can reach safely from the ground are generally fine for homeowners to handle. However, anything requiring a ladder, chainsaw work, or branches near power lines should be left to professionals. Improper trimming can actually harm trees and create more problems. Plus, tree work is one of the most dangerous DIY activities – emergency rooms see serious injuries from homeowner tree accidents regularly. Professional equipment and experience make the job safer and ensure your trees are trimmed correctly for long-term health.
Proper tree trimming significantly reduces storm damage risk, but it can’t eliminate it entirely. Removing dead branches eliminates the most common source of storm debris. Thinning dense canopies reduces wind resistance, making trees less likely to uproot or lose large branches. Trimming branches away from structures and power lines prevents damage when trees do move in storms. However, severe weather can still cause problems even with well-maintained trees. Regular trimming is your best defense, but it’s not a guarantee against all storm damage.
Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it varies by species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees may need attention every 2-3 years, while slow-growing species can go longer. Young trees often need more frequent trimming to establish good structure. Trees near structures or power lines may need annual attention. We recommend having your trees assessed annually, even if they don’t need trimming. This helps catch problems early and plan trimming when it’s most beneficial for the tree’s health and your property’s safety.
Yes, we provide emergency tree service for storm damage in Old Zionsville and the surrounding Lehigh Valley area. We prioritize situations where trees threaten safety – branches on houses, trees blocking roads, or limbs near power lines. Emergency calls typically get faster response but cost more due to the urgent nature and often hazardous working conditions. After major storms, there’s usually high demand, so response times may be longer than normal. We recommend having our contact information saved before you need it, as phone and internet service can be spotty after severe weather.
