Issaquah Tree Pruning Services

Hey there, fellow tree lovers! Pruning is about more than just trimming branches—it’s an art and a science. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in making targeted, structural cuts that keep your trees healthy, safe, and absolutely gorgeous. Forget about ugly topping; we’re here to ensure your trees thrive!


Is Your Yard Facing These Challenges?

Take a look around—are you noticing any of these issues?

  • Branches scraping against roofs, gutters, and your beloved car?
  • Low limbs blocking sidewalks, driveways, or your breathtaking view?
  • Deadwood hanging overhead, posing a storm hazard, or crossed/rubbing branches?
  • Overgrown laurels and privets morphing into hedge monsters?
  • Fruit trees stuck in a dilemma between no fruit or breaking branches?
  • Previous bad cuts or topping that cry out for a pro’s touch?

Pro Tip: We don’t work too close to primary power lines—safety first! If coordination with the utility company is required, we’ll give you a heads-up.


Our Pruning Services (And the Process)

Here’s how we tackle your pruning needs:

  • Crown Cleaning: We’ll remove dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to boost your tree’s health and safety.
  • Raising: Lifting those low branches for easier access to sidewalks and driveways makes your property more inviting.
  • Thinning (Selective): Letting more light and air into your trees means less mildew and stronger growth!
  • Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals, reducing sail without compromising the crown’s integrity.
  • Restoration: We’ll repair damage from previous bad cuts or topping over multiple visits.
  • Fruit Trees: We offer winter structure and summer size control for a bountiful harvest without broken branches.
  • Hedges & Screens (laurel/privet/portuguese laurel/photinia): We’ll create crisp lines and tight shapes—no scalping here!

Seasonal Pruning Insights

  • Winter (Leaf-Off): The perfect time for structural work and spotting deadwood.
  • Late Spring/Early Summer: Light reduction and clearance after the growth flush.
  • Summer: Size control for those vigorous growers like laurel and willow.
  • After Flowering: Prune spring bloomers after they’ve bloomed to prepare for next year’s flowers.

We only use hand cuts at the collar for trees—shears are for hedges!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (The Secret to a Stunning Yard)

Say goodbye to seasonal chaos and hello to year-round beauty with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Clearance Reset: Keeping roofs, walks, and views clear and beautiful.
  • Deadwood & Hazard Pass: Prepping your trees for storm season like a pro.
  • Light Structural Tune-Ups: Minimal heavy cuts to keep your trees in top shape.
  • Hedge Calendar: Maintaining tight screens without those unsightly bald spots.
  • Fruit Tree Schedule: Winter shaping and summer thinning for strong branches.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Clean structure now means fewer problems down the road!


Choose Your Service Cadence

Pick the schedule that works best for your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly: Enjoy deep cleans in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for fast-growing trees and hedges needing extra love.

(Got big restorations or unruly hedges? Start monthly for 60-90 days, then taper down.)


What’s Included in Annual Maintenance

With our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • A walkthrough & plan outlining targets, hazards, and necessary clearance.
  • Clean cuts at branch collars—no painting, no stubs left behind.
  • Hedge shaping using string lines for perfectly straight edges.
  • Fruit tree thinning to ensure limbs can carry fruit without snapping.
  • Thorough debris chip/haul and meticulous hardscape cleanup.

Why Annual Maintenance is Essential

Curious why our annual maintenance is key? Here’s the scoop:

  • Safety: We tackle dead/hanging limbs and roof rubs before storms hit.
  • Tree Health: Improved airflow and light mean fewer diseases and pests.
  • Structure: Early, small cuts are more beneficial than late, big cuts (and those hefty bills).
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Well-balanced crowns and crisp hedges enhance your home’s curb appeal!
