Tree Trimming & Pruning
Proper pruning keeps trees healthy, attractive, and structurally sound. Logs & Boulders provides professional trimming and pruning services that follow best practices and species-specific needs. From removing deadwood to structural corrective pruning for young trees, our certified arborists help maintain canopy shape, reduce storm damage risk, and promote long-term vigor.
Incorrect pruning can cause more harm than good. Over-pruning, improper cuts, or “topping” can lead to decay, poor wound closure, and increased susceptibility to pests. Professional pruning focuses on selective removals, preservation of branch collars, and proper thinning techniques to reduce wind resistance and improve light penetration, all of which support healthy growth and reduce long-term maintenance needs.
Why Professional Pruning Matters
Key Benefits of Proper Trimming & Pruning
Effective trimming and pruning improve tree health, safety, appearance, and longevity while maintaining necessary clearances.
Health
Removing diseased or dead limbs prevents spread and encourages new growth.
Safety
Eliminating weak or overextended limbs reduces the risk of failure during storms.
Aesthetics
Pruning enhances natural form and preserves sightlines and landscape design.
Longevity
Structural pruning reduces included bark and co-dominant stems that may split as trees mature.
Clearance & Access
We trim trees near roofs, utility lines, and walkways to maintain safe clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my trees be pruned?
It depends on species, age, and location. Young trees may need pruning every 1-3 years; mature trees benefit from cyclical maintenance every 3-7 years.
Can you prune trees near power lines?
We coordinate with utility companies for safe clearance pruning and follow strict safety protocols.
