A well-maintained tree is the crown jewel of any yard, but trees that are left to grow wild can quickly become a problem. When branches get too heavy, they block out the sunlight your grass needs to grow, and they become a serious risk of snapping off during a windy day. We are your friendly, neighborhood experts in canopy care. We provide a top-tier tree trimming service and expert tree pruning service in Arcata, CA. We don't just hack away at branches; we carefully shape your trees so they look gorgeous, grow strong, and stay perfectly safe for your family.
While people use the words interchangeably, there is a science to what we do.
If you have fruit trees in your backyard, you know they require a special touch. Pruning fruit trees is completely different from pruning a giant oak. If you want a great harvest, you have to open up the center of the tree so sunlight and fresh air can reach the blossoms. We know exactly when and where to make these cuts during the dormant season, encouraging your trees to produce heavy, delicious fruit instead of just wasting energy on growing more leaves.
A lot of amateurs practice a terrible technique called "topping," where they just chop the top half of the tree completely off to make it shorter. This is incredibly bad for the tree. It creates huge wounds that rot, and the tree will frantically grow weak, ugly branches to survive. We practice proper, healthy pruning. We make clean cuts at the right angles so the tree can heal itself beautifully.
Keep your yard looking beautiful and protect your home from falling deadwood. Let our friendly experts shape and prune your canopy the right way.
