Your Trees Deserve Expert Care
Overgrown, damaged, or improperly maintained trees don’t just diminish your property’s beauty – they pose real risks to your home, family, and the trees themselves. When branches grow unchecked, they can damage structures, block essential sunlight, and create safety hazards during storm season.
At Andrew’s Tree Care, we understand that every tree on your property serves a purpose. Whether providing shade, enhancing curb appeal, or holding sentimental value, your trees deserve professional care that promotes their health while protecting your investment.
What Is Professional Tree Trimming?
Tree trimming is both an art and a science, requiring deep knowledge of tree biology, growth patterns, and proper pruning techniques. Our certified professionals understand that each cut affects your tree’s future growth, health, and structural integrity.
Professional tree trimming goes beyond simply removing branches. It involves strategic decisions about which limbs to remove, where to make cuts, and how to shape the tree for optimal health and appearance. Our team specializes in all tree species, from majestic oaks and sprawling shade trees to tropical palms and ornamental varieties.
Our Comprehensive Tree Trimming Services Include:
- Crown thinning for improved air circulation and light penetration
- Deadwood removal to eliminate safety hazards
- Crown raising to provide clearance for structures and walkways
- Crown reduction for size and shape control
- Vista pruning to enhance or restore views
- Structural pruning for young trees
- Restoration trimming for storm-damaged trees
- Utility line clearance trimming
Problems We Solve Through Professional Trimming
Challenges:
- Overgrown branches threatening roofs, windows, or power lines
- Dead or dying limbs that could fall without warning
- Dense canopies blocking sunlight from lawns and gardens
- Weak branch structures vulnerable to storm damage
- Obstructed views from windows or outdoor living spaces
- Crossing branches that rub and damage each other
How These Problems Affect You:
Living with poorly maintained trees creates constant worry. You might feel anxious during every storm, wondering if today’s the day a branch crashes through your roof. Perhaps you’re frustrated watching your grass struggle in deep shade, or embarrassed when guests have to duck under low-hanging branches. These aren’t just landscaping issues – they’re quality of life concerns.
The Bigger Picture:
Trees are living investments that increase property value, provide environmental benefits, and enhance our daily lives. When we maintain them properly, we’re not just protecting property – we’re preserving these natural assets for future generations. Professional tree care is about respecting nature while ensuring safety and beauty.
Our Proven Tree Trimming Process
Step 1: Professional Assessment
Every tree trimming project begins with a thorough evaluation. Our experienced arborists examine each tree’s species, age, health, and structural integrity. We identify specific trimming needs, potential hazards, and the best approach for achieving your goals while maintaining tree health.
Step 2: Customized Trimming Plan
Based on our assessment, we create a detailed trimming strategy tailored to each tree’s unique needs. You’ll receive a transparent quote with no hidden fees, outlining exactly what work will be performed and why it’s necessary.
Step 3: Expert Execution
Our fully insured crew arrives with professional-grade equipment, including specialized saws, safety gear, and our grapple truck for efficient branch removal. We follow industry best practices and ANSI standards to ensure every cut promotes healing and healthy regrowth.
Step 4: Complete Cleanup
We treat every property with respect. All branches, twigs, and debris are removed, leaving your yard cleaner than we found it. Our team takes preventive measures to protect your lawn from equipment damage, because we understand that your entire landscape matters.
Tree Trimming Options for Every Need
Maintenance Trimming
Regular trimming every 2-3 years keeps trees healthy, safe, and manageable. This preventive approach costs significantly less than emergency work and extends your trees’ lifespan while maintaining their natural beauty.
Aesthetic Trimming
Enhance your property’s curb appeal with artistic shaping that complements your landscape design. We balance beauty with biology, ensuring your trees look great while remaining healthy and strong.
Safety Trimming
Proactive removal of hazardous branches before they become expensive problems. This includes clearing branches from structures, addressing weak attachments, and eliminating deadwood that could fall unexpectedly.
Storm Preparation Trimming
Proper trimming significantly reduces storm damage risk. We identify and remove weak branches, reduce wind resistance, and create balanced canopies that better withstand severe weather.
Restoration Trimming
For trees damaged by storms, disease, or improper pruning, we provide careful restoration work that helps trees recover their health and natural form over time.
Benefits of Professional Tree Trimming
- Healthier Trees: Proper trimming promotes vigorous growth and can extend tree life by decades
- Enhanced Property Value: Well-maintained trees can increase property value by up to 15%
- Improved Safety: Eliminate risks from falling branches and storm damage
- Better Views and Light: Open sight lines and allow natural light to reach your property

How to Know When Your Trees Need Professional Trimming
Urgent Warning Signs:
- Branches touching or overhanging your roof
- Dead branches visible anywhere in the canopy
- Branches interfering with power lines
- Storm damage or split branches
- Sudden leaf drop or discoloration
- Branches blocking walkways or driveways
- Signs of disease or pest infestation
Routine Maintenance Indicators:
- More than 3 years since last professional trimming
- Tree canopy appears unbalanced or lopsided
- Lower branches interfering with lawn maintenance
- Reduced flowering or fruit production
- Branches crossing or rubbing against each other
- Excessive shade preventing grass growth
- Trees outgrowing their allocated space
Understanding Trimming Frequency:
Different tree species have varying growth rates and trimming needs:
- Fast-growing trees: May need annual attention
- Mature shade trees: Typically every 3-5 years
- Fruit trees: Annual trimming for best production
- Palm trees: 2-3 times per year for optimal health
- Young trees: Light annual trimming to develop structure
The Cost of Delaying Tree Care:
Small trimming needs become major expenses when ignored. A branch that costs $200 to trim professionally today could cause thousands in damage tomorrow. Regular maintenance trimming typically costs 50-70% less than emergency work and prevents most tree-related property damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming
How often should trees be professionally trimmed?
Most trees benefit from professional trimming every 2-3 years. However, fast-growing species, young trees, or those near structures may need annual attention. We’ll assess your specific trees and recommend an appropriate schedule.
What’s the best time of year for tree trimming?
Timing depends on tree species and your goals. Generally, late winter through early spring is ideal for most trees as it promotes healthy spring growth. However, dead branches should be removed immediately regardless of season.
Will trimming hurt my tree?
When performed correctly by professionals, trimming actually improves tree health. We follow industry standards and never remove more than 25% of a tree’s live canopy in one session, ensuring your tree remains vigorous and healthy.
What’s the difference between trimming and pruning?
While often used interchangeably, trimming typically refers to maintaining shape and removing overgrowth, while pruning focuses more on tree health, removing dead or diseased branches. We provide both services as part of comprehensive tree care.
Can you trim trees near power lines?
We can trim trees near service lines to your home. For trees touching main utility lines, we coordinate with power companies to ensure safe, compliant trimming that protects both your trees and electrical infrastructure.
How long does tree trimming take?
Most residential tree trimming takes 2-4 hours, depending on the number and size of trees. We provide time estimates with your quote and work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards.
What happens to the trimmed branches?
We haul away all branches and debris, leaving your property clean and your trees looking their best. If you’d prefer to keep larger wood for firewood or mulch, just let us know.
Do I need to be home during trimming?
As long as we have access to the trees and clear instructions, we can complete the work while you’re away. Many customers prefer to be home to see the transformation, but it’s not required.
How do you protect my lawn and garden?
We use protective measures including plywood sheets and careful equipment placement to prevent lawn damage. Our crews are trained to respect your entire landscape, not just the trees we’re trimming.
What if I’m not sure what my tree needs?
That’s what we’re here for! Our free assessment will identify exactly what your trees need and explain why. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to educate you about your trees’ health and care requirements.
