Professional Pruning Techniques We Use

Our certified arborists employ various pruning techniques tailored to each tree's specific needs, age, and species. Crown thinning selectively removes branches to reduce density while maintaining the tree's natural shape. Crown raising removes lower branches to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, or pedestrians. Crown reduction decreases the overall size of the tree while preserving its structural integrity.

We also specialize in structural pruning for young trees, establishing strong branch architecture that will benefit the tree throughout its life. For mature trees, we focus on maintenance pruning to remove hazardous branches and maintain health. Every cut is made with precision, following industry standards to promote rapid healing and minimize stress to the tree. Our expertise extends to shrub and hedge trimming as well.

Best Times for Tree Trimming in Lombard

Timing is crucial for effective tree pruning. In Lombard, IL, late winter to early spring is generally the ideal time for most tree species, as trees are dormant and pruning wounds heal quickly once growth resumes. However, timing varies by species and specific goals. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season.

Our arborists understand the unique growing patterns of trees in our region and can recommend the optimal pruning schedule for your specific trees. We also offer emergency tree services for storm-damaged trees requiring immediate attention. Regular maintenance pruning every 3-5 years keeps most trees healthy and attractive while preventing costly problems down the road.
