TREE TRIMMING & PRUNING - PROFESSIONAL TREE CARE MAINTENANCE

Tree Trimming - Maintaining Healthy Trees

Tree Trimming - Asheville Tree Care

​Trimming and pruning trees is a critical tree care activity every homeowner should do.  Yet, many, if not most, disregard this healthy and aesthetic maintenance task.  Pruning and trimming trees assists them growing into, and preserving, their natural shape; it is also a great tree care activity to keep them healthy.  With this said, skill and experience are necessary to correctly prune and  trim trees, especially for larger, more mature trees.   Asheville Tree has the knowledge and experience to professionally trim your trees in keeping with industry standards (ANSI A300).  

We always start our trimming work from the tree crown and then proceed down the tree.  This is the best method, both in terms of technique and assessment of the tree's health.  Additionally, it is always a great practice to adhere to the quarter and third guidelines:

  • Never cut more than 1/4 of the top of a tree per year;
  • Preserve the proportion of side limbs to 1/3 smaller than tree trunk diameter;
  • Don't cut more than o1/3 of the height of the tree; and,
  • Always trim to preserve side limbs at ten and two o'clock positions.

Use this additional guidance when selecting a tree service to maintain your trees:
  • When trimming a younger tree, assess which branches are best and enhance the structure using those limbs;
  • Do not make too big of trim cuts: if a tree is trimmed periodically, you will have cut limbs when they were smaller;
  • Use very sharp saws/trimmers to make cuts that are clean.  Very dull trimmers/saws rip and tear that will invite insects and disease and also are more difficult to heal;
  • A pole pruner or trimmer is the ideal selection for taller trees - it also helps you to remain safely on the ground;
  • For mature trees and bigger cuts, it is best to use a professional tree care service.  Large and heavy are difficult to cut a heights and then lower safely; and, 
  • Trim branches and limbs such that you preserve the collar - never cut straight up against the tree trunk.

In assessing this tree trimming advice , it is always best to call a reputable, professional tree company.  By doing so, it will help you avoid dangerous accidents from being made to your landscape trees and safety.  As far as selecting what tree service Asheville is best qualified to trim your trees, consider these additional credentials and qualifications we offers:

Tree Trimming Pricing

Like tree removal, tree trimming costs are determined by the same three variables plus one additional factor.  These tree trimming variables are:
  • Tree Size - again, the larger the tree, the more labor and equipment expense there will be.  Large, heavy branches must be safely lowered to the ground and then cut up into 3 foot sections.  The larger the tree, the more there is of this work.
  • Tree Location - a tree near a property structure, such as a home or business, will require extra precautions be taken to ensure there is not damage to these structures.  This mean more labor and potentially additional equipment expense.  
  • Tree Specie - once again, multiple trunked trees are slightly more expensive given their trunks typically lean, requiring extra attention to safety

Lastly, an overgrown tree will require more trimming than one that has been trimmed regularly.
