Trimming & pruning
Tree Trimming & Pruning, done carefully.
A good trim is mostly about what you leave. We take out crossing and rubbing limbs, thin the crown so wind moves through it instead of pushing against it, and raise low branches off the roof, the driveway and the sidewalk. When we’re done the tree should still look like itself, just healthier and lighter.
Homeowners and businesses around Lee's Summit book us for recurring pruning, because trees keep growing. The big oaks and maples over older houses, and the Bradford pears planted in so many subdivisions, all do better with a trim every few years. If a tree doesn’t need anything yet, we’ll tell you that too.
People come back. Kathryn Slinkard hired us a second time because she was so pleased with the first trim, and Dakota Corum’s four overgrown trees were “looking great again” when we left.

Questions
Tree Trimming & Pruning FAQ
When is the best time to trim?
For most shade trees, late fall through winter: the leaves are down, the tree is dormant and the structure is easy to see. Oaks are best pruned outside of spring and early summer to avoid spreading oak wilt. Dead or broken limbs can come off any time of year.
How often should my trees be trimmed?
Most mature shade trees do well with a trim every few years. Young trees benefit from structural pruning early, while the cuts are small. We’ll tell you honestly if a tree doesn’t need anything yet.
Do you clean up after trimming?
Yes. Every limb and clipping is hauled away and the yard is cleaned up before we leave.
