Professional Tree Trimming & Pruning Services
Tree trimming (also called tree pruning) is one of the most important services for maintaining the health, beauty, and long-term safety of your trees. Regular pruning prevents storm damage, improves tree structure, supports healthy growth, and enhances the appearance of your property. Whether you need corrective pruning, deadwood removal, canopy reduction, or structural balancing, Patriot Tree Service has the expertise and equipment to do the job right.
At Patriot Tree Service, all pruning is performed under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist, ensuring your trees are cared for according to ANSI A300 industry standards. We evaluate species, age, health, location, and growth habits before making any cuts—because proper pruning is both a science and a skill.
Why Tree Trimming Is Essential
Healthy trees require routine maintenance. Over time, branches become overextended, dead limbs accumulate, and weight distribution can cause hazardous conditions. Professional pruning:
-
Reduces the risk of falling limbs
-
Improves airflow and sunlight penetration
-
Encourages strong, balanced growth
-
Prevents damage to homes, vehicles, and structures
-
Supports overall tree health
-
Enhances curb appeal and property value
Routine trimming can extend the lifespan of your trees while helping them withstand storms, pests, and disease.
Customized Pruning by Certified Arborists
Our certified arborists create a tailored pruning plan for each tree. Before trimming, we assess:
-
Tree species & age
-
Growth patterns & structure
-
Safety hazards
-
Proximity to homes, powerlines, and driveways
-
Signs of decay, cracks, or disease
-
Future growth expectations
This ensures every cut benefits the tree and protects the surrounding property.
Types of Pruning We Offer
Crown Thinning - Reducing density in the canopy allows wind to pass through more easily, reducing strain during storms. Crown thinning also increases airflow and sunlight, promoting healthier growth.
Centering (Interior Cleaning) - We remove inner, congested, or rubbing branches to prevent disease, improve structure, and allow the tree to allocate energy more efficiently.
Balancing & Structural Pruning - Balancing improves the tree’s overall shape and stability. By evenly distributing weight, we help prevent leaning, limb failure, and canopy imbalance—especially important near homes and driveways.
Deadwood Removal - Dead or dying limbs pose a major safety risk. Removing deadwood prevents rot, insect infestation, and hazardous breakage, while improving appearance and safety.
Corrective Pruning - Trees damaged by ice, wind, or snow often develop split limbs or weak attachments. Our team carefully trims storm-damaged branches to restore structure and promote new, healthy growth.

Canopy Raising & Clearance Pruning
If branches hang too low over sidewalks, roofs, roads, or yard spaces, we perform clearance pruning to create safe, functional space beneath the canopy. This is especially important for:
-
Driveway access
-
Street visibility
-
Pedestrian and lawn areas
-
Overhanging limbs over homes
-
Structures with roof interference
Hazardous Tree Limb Removal
Trees near homes can develop structural defects that aren’t always visible. Our arborist evaluates:
-
Cracks or splits
-
Co-dominant stems
-
Weak crotches
-
Dead or hanging limbs
-
Decay or hollows
-
Leaning structure
We safely remove hazardous limbs using aerial lifts, cranes, rigging systems, or technical climbing—whatever the situation requires.
Advanced Equipment for Safe & Efficient Trimming
Patriot Tree Service uses industry-leading equipment to perform trimming safely and efficiently:
-
CMC / Arbor Pro 90HD aerial lifts for precision cuts
-
