Tree Pruning & Tree Trimming Services
Proper pruning isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about the health, safety, and longevity of your trees. At Shults Tree Service, ISA-certified arborist Michael Shults carefully evaluates each branch, removing only what’s necessary to promote strong structure and prevent damage. Using precise handsaw techniques, we ensure every cut supports the tree’s long-term health while enhancing the beauty of your landscape. The result is a cleaner, healthier tree and a yard that looks polished and well-maintained.
Professional Tree Pruning by an ISA Certified Arborist
Tree pruning should never be random cutting or excessive trimming. Every cut affects a tree’s growth, structure, and future safety. Our pruning approach is guided by arboricultural standards to promote healthy growth, reduce hazards, and preserve the natural form of the tree.
Structural & Safety Pruning
Structural pruning focuses on removing weak, damaged, or poorly positioned limbs that can become hazards over time. This type of pruning is especially important for mature trees, trees near homes, and trees exposed to high winds or storms.
Benefits include:
-
Reduced risk of falling limbs
-
Improved tree strength and balance
-
Increased clearance from structures and power lines
Crown Cleaning & Deadwood Removal
Dead, dying, or diseased branches pose a serious safety risk and can attract pests or decay. Crown cleaning removes this material to improve tree health and reduce liability.
This service helps:
-
Prevent unexpected limb failure
-
Improve airflow and light penetration
-
Maintain a clean, healthy canopy
Tree Trimming for Clearance & Property Protection
Tree trimming is often necessary to maintain safe clearance around homes, driveways, roofs, and walkways. We carefully trim branches to protect structures without over-pruning or damaging the tree.
Common trimming needs include:
-
Roof and siding clearance
-
Driveway and sidewalk clearance
-
Visibility improvement
Why Proper Tree Pruning Matters
Improper pruning can permanently damage a tree, leading to decay, weak growth, or premature removal. Professional pruning ensures cuts are made correctly, at the right time, and for the right reasons—protecting both the tree and your property.
