Queen Anne Tree Pruning Services

Pruning is more than just cutting; it’s about maintaining the beauty and health of your trees. At Neat & Tidy, we focus on targeted, structural cuts to keep your trees healthy, safe, and beautiful—without ever resorting to the dreaded topping.


Common Tree Issues in Queen Anne

Is your yard facing any of these challenges?

  • Branches hitting your roof or gutters, especially in windy conditions?
  • Low limbs blocking stunning views or obstructing sidewalks?
  • Deadwood overhead that could become a storm hazard?
  • Overgrown laurels and privets dominating your garden?
  • Fruit trees struggling to produce without breaking branches?
  • Previous poor cuts that need a professional touch?

Safety Note: We avoid working near primary power lines. If necessary, we’ll guide you on coordinating with utility companies.


Our Pruning Services: What We Do

Here’s how we approach different pruning tasks to enhance your property:

  • Crown Cleaning: We remove dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to boost health and safety.
  • Raising: We elevate low branches to improve accessibility and safety on sidewalks.
  • Thinning (Selective): Enhance light and air circulation, helping to prevent mildew and promoting strong growth.
  • Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals, preserving the crown’s integrity while reducing wind resistance.
  • Restoration: We restore trees damaged by previous improper cuts over several visits.
  • Fruit Trees: We provide winter structure and summer size control for a bountiful harvest.
  • Hedges & Screens: We shape hedges like laurel and privet for clean lines and a polished look.

Seasonal Timing Matters

  • Winter (Leaf-Off): Ideal for structural work and identifying deadwood.
  • Late Spring/Early Summer: Perfect for light reduction and clearance after the growth surge.
  • Summer: Focus on size control for vigorous growers.
  • After Flowering: Prune spring bloomers post-bloom to prepare for next year’s flowers.

Our commitment: No shears on trees; we use hand cuts at the collar for optimal health.


Annual Maintenance Plan for Your Yard

Keep your yard looking its best year-round with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Clearance Reset: For roofs, walkways, and those prized views.
  • Deadwood & Hazard Assessment: Preparing your trees for storm season.
  • Light Structural Tune-Ups: Minimal heavy cuts to promote health.
  • Hedge Maintenance: Keep screens tight and free from bald spots.
  • Fruit Tree Care: Winter shaping and summer thinning for strong branches.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. A clean structure today leads to fewer problems tomorrow!


Flexible Service Options

Choose the maintenance schedule that suits your needs:

  • Quarterly: Comprehensive clean-ups in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for fast-growing trees and hedges.

(For larger restorations, consider starting monthly for 60-90 days, then taper down.)


What Our Annual Maintenance Covers

With our annual plan, you receive:

  • A detailed walkthrough & plan highlighting targets and needed clearance.
  • Clean cuts at branch collars—no stubs, no paint.
  • Hedge shaping using string lines for precision.
  • Fruit tree thinning, ensuring limbs can support fruit without snapping.
  • Thorough debris removal and meticulous hardscape cleanup.

The Importance of Annual Maintenance

Why is our annual maintenance vital? Here’s why:

  • Safety: We tackle dead or hanging limbs before storms hit.
  • Tree Health: Improved airflow and light reduce diseases and pests.
  • Structure: Early, small cuts are less stressful than large cuts later on.
  • Curb Appeal: Well-maintained trees and hedges enhance your home’s attractiveness.
