TREE TRIMMING SERVICE - PROFESSIONAL AND AFFORDABLE

Most trees native to Iowa and used for landscaping purposes will require trimming every 3-5 years.  And for larger more mature trees, trimming is a job best left to the professional.  We can professionally trim your tree, both safely and affordably, renewing their form and beauty.​

TRIMMING TREES

Tree trimming is a required maintenance task for a number of reasons, both aesthetically and to improve health:

• Regular trimming trains trees to grow in a more pleasing way and reduce the risk of splitting;
• Dead and dying limbs should be eliminated regular to reduce potential damage to property and landscaping;
• Routine trimming promotes improved health by focusing growth on strong limbs and enabling sunlight to better penetrate;
• Restores the native shape to trees prone to having over growing; and,
• Improve tree symmetry and stability by emphasizing stronger limbs and eliminating weaker ones.

Professional Tree Trimming Service

Tree trimming can be just a dangerous as tree removal.  Large mature trees have long heavy branches that can be almost impossible to trim for the average property owner.  Special care must be given during trimming that they do break when cutting and they can be lowered safely to the ground.  Further, trimming trees in close property structures is potentially risky in that, if not done properly and professionally, tree debris can damage roofs, siding, etc.  It is for these reasons that we never recommend property owners from trying to trim their large trees.  It takes skill, experience, and the property equipment to efficiently and safely trim large trees.  And the salvaged wood from a large tree trimming job can be quite onerous for the average homeowner to dispose of.  Conversely, we encourage our customers to prune their smaller, more immature trees, as it promotes strong healthy growth; and will reduce tree trimming costs as the tree matures.   So don't risk your safety, time and money when it comes to trimming large, mature trees.

Tree Trimming Cost

Tree trimming pricing variables are similar to tree removal with one additional element:

1. Tree Size - the larger the tree the more expensive it will be to trim.  This is because we will have more labor involved as well as in some situations, additional equipment.  
2. Tree Location - the location of the tree matters if it is near property structures and/or power lines.  In these cases, we will have more labor and sometime additional equipment in order to safeguard these structures during the trimming process.  
3. Tree Species - some trees are a bit more labor intensive to trim due to their growth patterns.  
4. Tree Trimming Required - an overgrown tree will require more labor to trim merely due to the amount of trimming required.
