Accommodating our tree trimming services can be challenging, especially when individual tastes and concerns are involved. While there are recommended procedures for tree trimming that involve making symmetrical cuts across the entire tree to ensure necessary clearance, these are seldom followed because they are rarely acceptable to landowners. Additionally, trimming the whole tree is more costly, contradicting our goal of providing the best possible service at the lowest possible cost.
As a result, "notching" or "gapping" a tree is more common, particularly with larger trees. This method achieves the required clearance, removes minimal parts of the tree, and is both economical and generally accepted. However, we acknowledge that this approach can be unsightly immediately after the initial trimming. Typically, this visual impact is mitigated by seasonal growth.
We aim to trim trees to provide 3 to 5 years of clearance, usually about ten to fifteen feet. At the same time, we strive to ensure that landowners are reasonably satisfied with this necessary but sometimes undesirable task. Our procedures adhere to industry standards. To reiterate, while clearing and trimming can be unsightly, we endeavor to minimize the amount of tree removal. The initial visual impact is generally mitigated by a season's growth.
