Tree Trimming — Greater Houston

The Right Cut
Makes A Difference.

Branches grow into rooflines, over driveways and across walkways. Trimming brings the tree back under control and the property back to looking maintained.

When you might need it

Common reasons
homeowners call.

01

Branches over the roof

Limbs resting on or scraping a roofline are one of the most common reasons homeowners call.

02

Blocked driveways and walkways

Low limbs across a driveway, sidewalk or gate get in the way every single day.

03

The yard looks overgrown

A canopy that hasn't been touched in years makes an otherwise tidy property look neglected.

04

Limbs near structures

Garages, sheds, fences and power service lines all need clearance around them.

The Squirrel approach

Cut with
a plan.

Trimming isn't just shortening branches. We work out which limbs are causing the problem, how far back they should come and what the tree will look like when we're finished — then work through the canopy in an order that keeps everything below it protected.

  • Rooflines and gutters
  • Driveways and walkways
  • Fences and outbuildings
  • Overall canopy shape
  • Landscaping below
  • Debris cleanup

Questions

Good to know.

What's the difference between trimming and pruning?

Trimming is broader — cutting back overgrowth and restoring clearance. Pruning is more selective, removing specific branches for a specific reason.

How often should trees be trimmed?

It depends on the species and how fast it grows. Most homeowners call when clearance or appearance becomes an issue.

Do you clean up the branches?

Yes. Cleanup is part of the job.

Can you trim just one section?

Yes. If only the limbs over the driveway are a problem, that's all we need to touch.
