Tree trimming is one of the most cost-effective protections for your house. Dead branches, diseased trees and damaged limbs are dangers to your property. Properly trimmed trees create a safe environment for your family, friends and pets.

Routine maintenance helps prevent falling limbs. There is never a bad time to remove these branches, but there are better times of the year to do so. Trees benefit the most from pruning in mid to late winter. Pruning during dormancy will encourage new growth when the weather starts to warm. The lack of leaves during the late fall and winter allows for easy identification of branches and limbs in need of removal.

A branch falling on your house doesn’t just create a hole in the roof. It can have a ripple effect causing damage to your walls, floors, even your furniture.
