Why Trim Your Trees?
Trimming takes off weight and weak wood before a storm does it for you. A well-pruned tree lets wind pass through the canopy instead of catching it like a sail. That matters here, where spring storms can bring winds strong enough to snap limbs off trees that haven't been maintained.
Good trimming also keeps branches off your roof, where they wear down shingles, fill gutters, and give squirrels and rats a bridge into the attic. It opens up the canopy to let light reach your grass. And it lets us spot problems like cracks, rot, or insect damage early.
Signs Your Tree Needs Trimming
- Branches touching or hanging over the roof
- Dead branches anywhere in the canopy, especially big ones over the house or driveway
- Limbs hanging low over the driveway, sidewalk, or street
- Branches crossing and rubbing against each other
- A canopy so thick your grass won't grow underneath
- Heavy limbs on one side making the tree lopsided
- Branches growing toward the power line to your house
What Our Trimming Includes
- Deadwood removal: taking out dead and dying branches before they fall
- Crown thinning: removing select branches to let wind and light through
- Crown raising: lifting low limbs off the roof, driveway, and lawn
- Crown reduction: shortening long, heavy limbs to take weight off
- Clearance pruning: cutting branches back from the house, fence, and service lines
We cut at the right spot on the branch so the tree seals the wound properly. We don't top trees. Topping, or cutting the top off a tree, leaves it weak and sprouting thin, fast-growing shoots that break off in the next storm.
When Is the Best Time to Trim Trees in North Texas?
For most trees, late fall through winter is the best time. The trees are dormant, it's easier to see the structure without leaves, and insects are less active. Dead or hanging branches should come off any time of year, because they're a hazard now.
Oaks need extra care. Fresh cuts on oaks can attract beetles that spread disease, so ask us about timing before trimming an oak.
