Pruning
Pruning of trees is done when we remove the deadwood, broken limbs, or thin out the trees. Each one is a specific service within pruning and is not always performed on a tree when it is pruned. Pruning may also be done to reduce limbs off a house or to also raise a tree up to a desired height.

Shaping
Shaping of trees is done to reduce a tree's size and to create a desired shape. This is also done on shrubbery as well. Shaping is done at our clients properties on a regular basis. Some of the most common trees and shrubs that are shaped are Crabapples and Arborvitae.

Tree Removal
Tree removals are typically our last resort, unless a tree cannot be saved or it is requested by a client. We are able to remove trees and also stump the roots when requested.
