Tree Trimming and Pruning

Best Services for You

Around Terry High School, along Cunningham Avenue, and out on the rural roads toward Raymond, overgrown trees are one of the more common things homeowners in this part of Hinds County deal with every season. Mississippi’s growing conditions are good for trees, which means branches extend fast and problems build up quicker than most people expect. A limb that cleared your roofline last spring might be resting on your gutters by fall. Regular trimming stops that from compounding, and when it is done correctly it keeps the tree structurally stronger over time.

We do not top trees, and here is why that matters to you.

Topping, which means cutting the main stem or large branches back to stubs, looks drastic but it does serious long-term damage. If a tree is too large for its space, the right answer is removal and replanting with a species that fits. We will tell you that honestly rather than topping the tree and sending you an invoice.

WHAT WE TRIM AND PRUNE

What the Work Covers

We trim deadwood throughout the canopy, remove crossing branches that are causing damage to each other, pull back growth from rooflines and structures, address co-dominant stems with weak unions, and improve the overall structure of the tree so it is healthier and less likely to fail. We tailor the approach to the species, age, and location of each tree because the right cuts for a mature water oak are different from the right cuts for a young crepe myrtle.

Questions About This Service

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from an inspection every two to three years and trimming as needed based on what we find. Trees near structures, under utility lines, or in high-visibility areas may need attention more often. We will tell you what we see and what makes sense for your specific trees.

What is the difference between trimming and pruning?

In practice the terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, pruning focuses on the health and structure of the tree, removing deadwood, diseased limbs, and structural defects. Trimming tends to refer more to shaping and clearance work. We do both and assess each tree for what it actually needs.

Can trimming save a tree that looks like it is dying?

It depends on what is causing the decline. Deadwood and some diseases can be addressed with targeted pruning. If the issue is root damage, severe trunk decay, or systemic disease, trimming is not going to fix it. We will look at the tree and give you an honest assessment of what is salvageable.

Will trimming make my tree grow back faster?

Poor cuts do. Proper pruning cuts made at the right place on the branch collar slow regrowth and help the tree seal the wound. We trim to reduce maintenance over time, not create more of it.

Do you trim large trees?

Yes. We work on all sizes. For large trees that require climbing or aerial access, we have the equipment and training to work safely at height.

How much does tree trimming cost?

It depends on the size of the tree, how much work it needs, and how accessible it is. We come out and give you a free estimate before anything starts so you know exactly what it will cost.
