Tree Trimming & Pruning that keeps your trees strong and safe.

Trimming typically runs $500–$900 per tree depending on size, access, and how much needs to come off. Large hardwoods that require climbing or rigging cost more. We give free written quotes and can prioritize the limbs that matter most if you're working to a budget.

For most species, late fall through winter (dormancy) is ideal — the tree is stress-free and structure is easy to see. That said, dead, broken, or hazardous limbs should be removed any time of year, and we trim year-round across the Upstate.

No. Topping is harmful — it causes decay, weak regrowth, and bigger problems down the road. Instead we use proper crown reduction and thinning to manage size and safety while keeping the tree healthy.

Absolutely — that's one of our most common jobs. We rig and lower limbs over roofs and structures with ropes so nothing drops where it shouldn't, then clean up completely.

It depends on species and age, but many established hardwoods do well with a structural prune every three to five years. Fast-growing or storm-prone trees, and any with limbs creeping toward the house, may need it sooner. We'll recommend a sensible interval for your specific trees.

Not when it's done right. We prune to ANSI A300 standards — clean cuts back to sound laterals, removing no more live canopy than necessary — which improves a tree's structure and health. The harm comes from topping and over-thinning, which we never do.

We handle pruning around the service lines to your home with proper clearance techniques. If branches are tangled in a primary utility line, that's the power company's responsibility and we'll point you to them. We never put a crew or your property at risk near energized lines.
