Tree Trimming
The Art and Science of Proper Pruning
Every cut we make serves a purpose. Whether removing deadwood that threatens to fall, opening the canopy to reduce wind resistance, or training young trees toward strong structure, our trimming work follows established arboricultural standards developed through decades of research.
We identify the branch collar and make cuts at precise angles that promote rapid wound closure while preventing decay entry. Poor cuts—flush cuts, stub cuts, or tears from improper technique—create permanent damage that compromises tree health. This attention to detail separates professional tree care from careless hacking.
Types of Trimming We Perform
- Crown thinning to reduce density and improve light penetration
- Crown raising to provide clearance over structures and walkways
- Crown reduction to manage size without destroying tree form
- Structural pruning to develop strong branch architecture in young trees
- Deadwood removal to eliminate hazards and improve appearance
Timing Matters
When we trim is nearly as important as how we trim. Late winter pruning before spring growth minimizes stress and promotes vigorous regrowth. Summer pruning slows growth and is ideal for corrective work. We avoid pruning during vulnerable periods when trees are most susceptible to disease or when cuts won't seal properly.
Certain species have specific timing requirements. Oaks should never be pruned during the growing season in areas with oak wilt. Maples bleed sap profusely if pruned in early spring. Our crew schedules trimming work to align with each species' biology.

Why DIY Trimming Usually Backfires
Homeowners armed with pole saws and ladders often create more problems than they solve. Topping trees destroys their natural form and triggers aggressive, weakly attached regrowth. Lion's tailing (removing all interior branches) makes trees more vulnerable to storm damage. Improper cuts invite decay that hollows out trunks over time.
The equipment matters too. Dull tools tear bark and create wounds that won't heal cleanly. Inadequate safety equipment leads to injuries when branches fall unpredictably or climbers lose their footing. What seems like a simple afternoon project frequently ends with property damage or emergency room visits.
Professional trimming costs less than you think when you factor in equipment rental, your time, and the risk of mistakes that reduce tree value or create hazards. Tree Wise Men LLC brings the tools, knowledge, and insurance protection that turn trimming from a risky chore into a value-adding service.
