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!
