If you found our site for tree trimming, you likely were interested in improving the appearance of your property. And that’s great! But did you know that periodically trimming your trees is actually good for your trees’ health? That’s right. Many trees need to be trimmed about every two to five years if you want to maintain their health.
Dead limbs can also be hazardous. If you have tree branches that have decayed, they’re at risk off falling off and hitting someone or your home potentially causing serious damage.
And here’s a pro tip for you: tree limbs contacting your home or business building will almost certainly void your insurance coverage. Yikes!
We’ve been trimming the trees in St. Joseph for so long we like to think we have mastered the art. Our arborists adhere by the standard procedures outlined by the Arbor Day Foundation. We use a systematic process that prevents limbs from being trimmed too close to the trunk of the tree. We also take pride in the art form of trimming trees. We want your yard to look like the best one on the block when we’re done with it.
We’ve become adept at knowing to what degree each tree should be trimmed. It’s somewhat of an intuitive process that’s developed over the years. Over-trimming a tree can invite illness while under-trimming it will yield little positive effect.
We usually employ one trimmer with two ground service men. The trimmer will often be up in the tree cutting limbs down while the ground crew will further dismember each branch and dispose of it accordingly.
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your yard before we start. When we come to give you our free estimate, we’ll discuss further our process with you and inquire about specific requests that you might have. We establish what you’d like us to do with the waste. We can either carry it off and dispose of it ourselves or we can leave you some for use as firewood. It’s up to you!
We strive to cut each branch down into 3 foot segments or smaller. We are diligent with the clean up and waste process. We want your yard to look pristine when we’re done. We don’t want you to know that we were ever there!
We’ll give you both a verbal estimate at our visit as well as a detailed quote afterwards via email that includes things like insurance, licensing and specific tasks to be completed.
Tree pruning is a term often used synonymously with tree trimming but there is a slight difference to arborists like us. Pruning refers to a more subtle form of tree trimming and entails cutting small libers and broken limbs. The goal is to make the tree grow more appropriately or improve its appearance.
If you’re worried about tree trimming cost, don’t be! We’ve worked with all types of budgets in the past and we’re confident that we can accommodate you. Generally speaking the cost will depend on the dize of the tree, numbers of trees, location of the trees, type of trees and more. A small job may cost just a couple hundred dollars while a large job may cost around $1000. Give us a call to learn more!
