Trees and hedges that are properly maintained and cared for can provide many benefits, including privacy, shade, homes for birds, pollution control and improved property value. The key to achieving these benefits is proper maintenance and care, and ideally at an early point and at regular intervals. Taking proactive steps to care for your trees is almost always cheaper, safer and more beneficial to you and your property, including your trees, than addressing larger, more hazardous/overgrown trees and hedges that have not been maintained. We are always happy to walk you through these considerations during a free consultation for one of the services below.

tree removal

We can take care of the biggest and knottiest of trees for you, whether they are close to your home or other buildings, residential utility lines or other property that must be safeguarded. We have years of professional tree climbing and rigging experience, removing massive and hazardous trees in sensitive situations, safely and efficiently.

As part of our consultation and before you make a final decision to remove a tree, we will discuss with you the pros and the cons of taking that final step and other options you may want to consider to address your concerns short of a full removal.

major pruning/crown adjustment

Trees that have been improperly pruned or ignored for years become unsafe, a nuisance or just not nice to look at.

We can fix that for you!

Where a removal is not warranted, we can make more significant adjustments to reduce or thin the crowns of large trees to a more functional and safe size and ensure they are set up for healthy, functional growth going forward.

Similarly, we can help thin out an overgrown tree that may be dangerously susceptible to winds or creates too much shade or other concerns like excessive leaf or needle drop. In each case, in addition to safe rigging, and where appropriate to do so, we use "tree friendly", spurless climbing techniques to ensure the long term health and function of your trees and always with an eye on aesthetics.

smaller pruning/maintenance

In addition to major pruning/thinning work, we can help with smaller pruning and maintenance projects, such as:

early maintenance to set your trees up to benefit you and your property for years to come;

identifying and removing hazards like broken, unhealthy stems, branches and deadwood;

addressing tree damage and risks from storms or other events;

providing clearance for new construction or utility lines or eliminating interference with buildings or other features on your property;

pruning your fruit trees to ensure maximum production, functionality and health;

giving your trees a "facelift", improving their appearance and function for your own enjoyment or to ready your property for sale.

As always, we use safe rigging techniques to mitigate risks to your property and, where appropriate, "tree friendly" spurless climbing to better ensure the health and safety of your trees over the long term.

precision hedges and shrubs

Some tree care companies balk at hedge or shrub trimming, but at knotty tree care, we take pride in top notch topiary work!

We happily undertake large hedge jobs, reducing the size and improving the function of overgrown hedges.

We also thoroughly enjoy finer hedge and shrub trimming work, ensuring precisely shaped and well balanced shrubs and hedges that give your property a finished, professional appeal, provide borders and privacy walls and ensure access to your garden, walkways or other property features.
