Tree Trimming and Pruning Services in the Twin Cities

When you’ve got an overgrown or overly dense canopy, this can limit light from reaching the ground below. In yards where the trees are particularly dense, it’s not uncommon to see limited or unhealthy ground cover beneath the dense trees. Trimming and pruning those branches can help give your grass a chance to grow by letting the light shine through.

Unhealthy branches can also pose a threat to the trees on your property because their weight can damage the structural integrity of your tree. Dead and unhealthy branches also provide a fervent breeding ground for fungi, which causes all kinds of problems that can affect your other foliage and greenery. Pruning those branches gives your trees their best bet for healthy growth.

You might not be concerned about the dense overgrowth in your trees, but all it takes is one strong storm to turn those trees into a serious safety hazard. When you don’t regularly prune and trim your trees, their structure can become susceptible to future damage from high winds or heavy rain or snow. Heavy branches can also pose a danger to your home if they’re growing close to your roof or windows.

Additionally, if you’ve got trees growing near a power line, trimming them back protects your home and others who live near those power lines. We can assess your property’s safety and make pruning and trimming recommendations to keep your home, family, and neighbors safe.

Besides safety and tree health, one of the most important reasons to consider trimming your trees is to encourage a certain growth pattern. When trees grow in the wild, they’re usually surrounded by plenty of other trees, which encourages them to grow upward toward the sunlight.

But when trees are planted in a yard where they are often apart from other trees, they can develop unexpected growth patterns that aren’t always aesthetically pleasing. We can help trim and prune your trees to encourage them to grow the way you want, increasing your property value and creating a lovely space for your family to enjoy.
