Normandy Park Tree Pruning Services
Let’s face it—pruning isn’t just about snipping away what’s in the way. Poor cuts can lead to rot, weak sprouts, and trees that look more like a mess than a masterpiece. At Neat & Tidy, we make targeted, structural cuts to ensure your trees stay healthy, safe, and beautiful—without ever resorting to the dreaded topping.
What’s the Problem?
Is your yard showcasing any of these common issues?
- Branches scraping against roofs, gutters, or your car?
- Low limbs blocking sidewalks, driveways, or your breathtaking view?
- Deadwood overhead that poses a storm hazard or crossed/rubbing branches?
- 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; those jobs require the utility company. We’ll keep you informed if any coordination is necessary.
What We Prune (and How We Do It)
Here’s how we tackle different pruning tasks to keep your Normandy Park property looking its best:
- Crown Cleaning: We carefully remove dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to enhance your tree’s health and safety.
- Raising: We lift low branches for sidewalk and driveway clearance, making your property more accessible and visually pleasing.
- Thinning (Selective): Allow more light and air into your trees—less mildew and stronger growth!
- Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals—reducing sail without compromising the crown’s integrity.
- Restoration: We’ll fix the damage done by previous topping or bad cuts over multiple visits, bringing your trees back to their glorious self.
- Fruit Trees: We provide winter structure and summer size control to 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): This is prime 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 set the stage for next year’s flowers.
We don’t use shears on trees; that’s for hedges. Our trees get hand cuts at the collar—every time.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)
Enjoy a yard that looks great all year long with our annual maintenance plan, tailored specifically for Normandy Park’s unique environment:

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. The goal? Clean structure now means fewer problems later!
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
Choose the schedule that works best for your lifestyle:

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