Renton Tree Pruning Services

Let’s face it—pruning isn’t just about trimming away the excess. If done poorly, it can lead to rot, weak growth, and a landscape that looks more chaotic than charming. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in targeted, structural cuts that keep your trees healthy, safe, and stunning—without ever resorting to the dreaded topping.

What’s the Problem?

Is your yard facing any of these common issues?

• Branches scraping against roofs, gutters, or your parked car?
• Low limbs blocking sidewalks, driveways, or your breathtaking view?
• Deadwood overhead that could become a hazard during storms?
• Overgrown laurels and privets that have turned into hedge monsters?
• Fruit trees that either bear no fruit or risk breaking branches?
• Previous bad cuts or topping that could use a professional touch?

Important Note: We do not work near primary power lines; those jobs need utility company coordination. We’ll keep you informed if we need to reach out.

What We Prune (and How We Do It)

Here’s how we approach different pruning tasks in Renton:

• Crown Cleaning: We eliminate dead, diseased, or rubbing limbs to boost your tree’s health and safety.
• Raising: We lift low branches to clear sidewalks and driveways, enhancing accessibility around your property.
• Thinning (Selective): Increase light and air penetration into your trees, reducing mildew and promoting stronger growth!
• Reduction (Not Topping): We shorten branches to laterals, reducing sail without compromising the crown’s integrity.
• Restoration: We’ll repair damage caused by previous topping or poor cuts over several visits.
• Fruit Trees: We provide winter structure and summer size control to ensure a fruitful harvest without broken branches.
• Hedges & Screens (laurel/privet/portuguese laurel/photinia): We create clean lines and tight shapes, steering clear of scalping.

Seasonal Reality Check

• Winter (Leaf-Off): This is the best time for structural work and identifying deadwood.
• Late Spring/Early Summer: Light reduction and clearance after the growth flush.
• Summer: Size control for fast-growing varieties like laurel and willow.
• After Flowering: Prune spring bloomers after they flower to set the stage for next year’s blooms.

We prioritize hand cuts at the collar—no shears on trees! Your trees deserve the best care.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keep your yard looking great all year round with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

• Clearance Reset: Ensuring roofs, walks, and those lovely views are clear.
• Deadwood & Hazard Pass: Preparing your trees for storm season.
• Light Structural Tune-Ups: Minimal heavy cuts to keep your trees thriving.
• Hedge Calendar: Maintaining tight screens without unsightly bald spots.
• Fruit Tree Schedule: Winter shaping and summer thinning to support strong branches.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. The aim? A clean structure now means fewer headaches later!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose the schedule that suits your lifestyle best:

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

(Have major 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 comprehensive walkthrough and plan outlining targets, hazards, and needed 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 support fruit without snapping.
• Thorough debris chip/haul and meticulous hardscape cleanup.

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

• Safety: We tackle dead/hanging limbs and roof rubs before storms hit.
• Tree Health: Improved airflow and light lead to fewer diseases and pests.
