Pruned for health, not just looks
Correct pruning does more than tidy a tree: it removes deadwood before it falls, opens the canopy to reduce wind and ice load, and directs growth away from your roofline and wires. Our climbers work to ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.
We prune ornamentals, shade trees, and fruit trees on a schedule that fits your property, with debris chipped and hauled the same day.

Common Questions
What is the difference between tree pruning and tree trimming?
Trimming shapes shade and fruit trees on a schedule that fits your property, while pruning focuses on health and structure. Our climbers use ANSI A300 standards to clear deadwood, reduce weight, and direct growth away from roofs and power lines.
How often should trees be trimmed or pruned?
Most shade trees need pruning every 3 to 5 years, depending on species, location, and structural growth. Regular scheduling clears deadwood, reduces weight, and keeps branches growing safely away from your roof, power lines, and property structure.
Will trimming or pruning hurt my tree?
No, proper pruning following ANSI A300 standards protects and improves tree health. Our professional climbers prune to clear deadwood and shape growth correctly, avoiding damaging practices like tree topping that weaken branches or compromise tree structure.
Can you trim trees near power lines and roofs?
Yes. Our climbers work safely around power lines, roofs, and structures. We trim and direct growth away from utility lines and buildings, clear hazardous limbs, and eliminate structural risks across Buffalo, Rochester, and Batavia properties.
