Newcastle Tree Pruning Services

Hey there, Newcastle! 🌳 Are your trees starting to look a little unruly? Pruning isn’t just about lopping off branches; it’s an art and a science. At Neat & Tidy, we’re all about making targeted, structural cuts that keep your trees healthy, safe, and looking fabulous—without ever resorting to the dreaded topping. Let’s transform your outdoor space!


What’s the Problem?

Got any of these pesky issues?

  • Branches scraping against roofs and cars?
  • Low limbs obstructing sidewalks, driveways, or your beautiful view?
  • Deadwood overhead posing a hazard during storms?
  • Overgrown laurels and privets that have turned into hedge monsters?
  • Fruit trees that can’t decide between no fruit or breaking branches?
  • Previous bad cuts or topping that need a professional touch?

Important Note: We do not work within unsafe distances of primary power lines; we’ll coordinate with utility companies if needed!


What We Prune (and How We Do It)

Here’s our approach to various pruning tasks:

  • Crown Cleaning: Say goodbye to dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to keep your tree healthy and safe.
  • Raising: Lift those low branches for sidewalk and driveway clearance, making your property more accessible.
  • Thinning (Selective): Let more light and air in for stronger growth and less mildew!
  • Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals—reducing sail without compromising the crown’s beauty.
  • Restoration: Fixing damage from previous topping or bad cuts over several visits.
  • Fruit Trees: Winter structure and summer size control ensure a bountiful harvest without broken branches.
  • Hedges & Screens (laurel/privet/portuguese laurel/photinia): We create crisp lines and tight shapes—no scalping here!

Seasonal Reality Check

  • Winter (Leaf-Off): 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 post-bloom to prepare for next year’s flowers.

Remember, we use hand cuts at the collar—no shears on trees!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keep your yard looking fabulous all year long with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Clearance Reset: For roofs, walks, and stunning views.
  • Deadwood & Hazard Pass: Prepping your trees for storm season.
  • Light Structural Tune-Ups: Minimal heavy cuts to keep things healthy.
  • Hedge Calendar: Maintaining tight screens without unsightly bald spots.
  • Fruit Tree Schedule: Winter shaping and summer thinning to keep branches strong.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping—fewer problems down the road!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose the schedule that suits you best:

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

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


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you’ll receive:

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

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Wondering why our annual maintenance is crucial? Here’s the scoop:

  • Safety: We handle 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 better than late, big cuts (and those hefty bills).
  • Looks: Well-balanced crowns and crisp hedges enhance your home’s curb appeal!

How It Works

Getting started is a breeze:

  1. Free Estimate: Send us photos or do a quick walkthrough for clear, upfront pricing.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly for hedges and fruit trees.
  3. Prune Day: We’ll focus on targeted cuts, hedge shaping, fruit thinning, and full cleanup.
  4. Follow-Up: You’ll receive care notes and a plan for the next visit to keep growth on track.
