Fremont Tree Pruning Services

Pruning is not just about cutting branches; it’s about nurturing your trees into their best forms. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in targeted, structural cuts that keep your trees healthy and your property safe—without resorting to the dreaded topping.

What’s the Problem?

Are you facing any of these common issues in your Fremont yard?

• Branches scraping against roofs or cars?
• Low limbs blocking sidewalks or obstructing your view of the beautiful Lake Union?
• Deadwood overhead posing hazards during storms?
• Overgrown laurels and privets turned hedge monsters?
• Fruit trees struggling to produce or breaking under their weight?
• Previous poor cuts that need a professional touch?

Important Note: We do not work near primary power lines; those require coordination with the utility company.

What We Prune (and How We Do It)

Here’s how we approach our pruning tasks in Fremont:

• Crown Cleaning: We remove dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to promote tree health and safety.
• Raising: We lift low branches to provide clearance for pedestrians and vehicles, enhancing accessibility.
• Thinning (Selective): Allow more light and air into your trees, reducing mildew and fostering stronger growth.
• Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals, minimizing sail while preserving the crown’s structure.
• Restoration: We fix damage from previous topping or poor cuts over multiple visits for optimal recovery.
• Fruit Trees: We ensure proper structure in winter and size control in summer for a bountiful harvest.
• Hedges & Screens (laurel/privet/photinia): We create clean lines and maintain tight shapes—no scalping allowed.

Seasonal Timing for Optimal Pruning

• Winter (Leaf-Off): Best for structural work and identifying deadwood.
• Late Spring/Early Summer: Ideal for light reduction and clearance after growth flush.
• Summer: Perfect for size control of vigorous growers like laurel and willow.
• After Flowering: Prune spring bloomers post-bloom to prepare for the next season.

We prioritize hand cuts at the collar—no shears for our trees!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a schedule that works for you:

• Quarterly: Spring and fall deep cleans, plus two maintenance visits.
• Bi-Monthly: Ideal for fast-growing trees and hedges.

(For major restorations or unruly hedges, start monthly for 60-90 days, then adjust as needed.)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you’ll receive:

• A walkthrough & plan identifying targets, hazards, and necessary clearance.
• Clean cuts at branch collars—no stubs left behind.
• Hedge shaping using string lines for precise edges.
