The Benefits of Large Tree Trimming

1

Healthier Growth

We can reduce the spread of pests and diseases, allowing the tree to focus its energy on new, healthy growth. Regular trimming also helps trees maintain their natural shape and encourages a balanced canopy.

2

Increased Safety

Our professional trimming services ensure that weakened or overextended limbs are safely removed, reducing the risk of accidents and protecting your property.

3

Improved Aesthetics

A well-trimmed tree can enhance the overall appearance of your landscape. Properly trimmed trees also provide better sunlight and airflow for surrounding plants.

4

Prolonged Tree Life

By removing deadwood and preventing overcrowded branches, we improve the tree’s structural integrity and help it resist harsh weather conditions, allowing it to thrive for decades to come.

Types of Large Trees We Trim

At 4 Seasons Arborscapes, we are familiar with a wide range of shrubs and hedges, both ornamental and functional, and we tailor our services based on the specific needs of each plant. Here are some of the most common types we shape:

Oaks: Large, mature oaks are prone to developing deadwood over time. Removing dead branches from oak trees helps prevent disease and preserves their stately appearance.
Maples: Maples can lose limbs due to storm damage or age. Deadwooding ensures the tree remains healthy and reduces the risk of falling branches.
Pines: Pines can develop deadwood as they mature, especially in the lower and inner areas. Removing these dead limbs keeps the tree strong and healthy.
Fruit Trees (Apple, Pear, etc.): Deadwooding is particularly important for fruit trees, as it encourages new growth and ensures the tree’s energy is directed towards producing healthy fruit.
Elms: Elms can suffer from deadwood due to disease or age. Regular deadwooding keeps these trees healthy and helps them maintain their iconic shape.
Native Varieties: We work with native trees that are common to our region, understanding their specific needs to ensure proper care.

Our Large Tree Trimming Process

Consult with an expert. We begin every tree trimming project with a thorough consultation. Our certified arborists assess the size, species, and condition of your tree to determine the best trimming approach. We’ll also take into account your landscape goals, whether you’re looking to improve the tree’s appearance, increase safety, or promote healthier growth. Based on our evaluation, we’ll develop a customized trimming plan that meets both your needs and the tree’s requirements.
We plan for safety and efficiency. Trimming large trees can be dangerous without the right equipment and expertise. Our team follows strict safety protocols, using ropes, harnesses, and climbing gear to carefully access tall trees. We also use high-reach equipment when needed to ensure safe and efficient trimming. Every step of our process is designed to protect your property, the surrounding landscape, and our crew.
Let's talk technique. Our trimming techniques vary depending on the tree's size, species, and condition. Some of the methods we employ include:
Thinning. We selectively remove branches to reduce the density of the canopy, improving light penetration and airflow. This technique helps prevent wind damage and supports the overall health of the tree.
Elevation. We trim lower branches to increase clearance, making it easier to walk or drive underneath the tree and allowing more light to reach the ground.
Reduction. If a tree has grown too large for its space or poses a risk to nearby structures, we carefully reduce the overall size of the canopy while preserving the tree’s natural shape.
Deadwood removal. Removing dead, dying, or decayed branches prevents the spread of disease and reduces safety risks. It also enhances the tree’s appearance by eliminating unsightly deadwood.
We leave your property looking like we were never there. Once the trimming is complete, we make sure your property is left spotless. All branches and debris are removed, and we offer the option to either chip and haul the waste or leave it for your own use, such as mulch or firewood.
