The two words in tree trimming and pruning are often used to mean the same thing, and in everyday conversation that is fine. Pruning usually means removing specific branches to improve a tree's health or structure. Trimming usually means shaping a tree or controlling how large it grows.
Most tree trimming and pruning visits involve both at once. Our written quote describes exactly which branches will come off and why, so there is no confusion about what you are paying for.
We normally take between ten and twenty percent of a living crown in a single visit. A healthy tree replaces that amount without difficulty, and the benefit lasts for several years afterward.
Taking much more than that forces the tree to spend its stored energy on regrowth instead of roots and trunk. The new growth comes in weak and poorly attached, which leaves the tree less safe rather than more safe. We put the exact percentage in writing before we begin.
Oak wilt is a fungal disease that kills oak trees, and it spreads through fresh cuts. Beetles carry the fungus from tree to tree, and they are most active during the warmer months.
When an oak is dormant and those beetles are not moving, a cut is safe. That is why we book oak work for the winter months specifically. If you call about an oak in spring or summer, we will explain the reason and offer you a date once the leaves have dropped.
A tree planted beside a road grows toward the open light above the street and stays thinner on the shaded side facing the houses. Over time, most of its weight ends up hanging out over the road or the sidewalk.
Tree trimming and pruning on a street tree is therefore deliberately uneven by design. We reduce the weight on the road side and leave the shaded side alone, because balancing the tree by eye would only make the lean worse.
Yes, and young trees are the best value in tree trimming and pruning available anywhere on a property. Three short visits during the first fifteen years set the structure of a tree for the rest of its life.
The work involves choosing a single main stem, removing branches that compete with it, taking out limbs that rub together, and gradually raising the lower crown as the tree grows. The same corrections on a mature tree usually require cables or a full canopy reduction instead.

View Stump Grinding and RemovalTell us what the tree is doing and where in Aurora or York Region you are. We will visit, then send a written quote setting out the method, where the branches and wood will go, and anything not included in the price.
The species and rough height are helpful, and so is your street, since access affects the price more than size does. Please tell us what sits underneath the tree, and mark the request urgent if a storm caused the damage. Everything except a way of reaching you is optional. You can also call us directly at (289) 307-8493 if that is easier.
