What you get
Dead wood removal
Dead and broken limbs removed before a storm drops them on your roof or car.
Roof and house clearance
Branches cut back from shingles, gutters, siding and chimneys.
Crown thinning
Selective thinning lets wind pass through, which reduces storm damage.
Clearance pruning
Low limbs raised over driveways, sidewalks and play areas.
Good trimming keeps your trees healthy and your house safe. Dead limbs over a roof, branches rubbing shingles, and limbs hanging over the driveway are the most common reasons Louisville homeowners call.
We prune with proper cuts that let the tree heal, not topping or stubbing that weakens it. The goal is a safer, healthier tree that still looks natural.
When is the best time to trim trees in Kentucky?
Late winter, while trees are dormant, is ideal for most pruning: wounds close faster in spring and it's easier to see the branch structure. Dead, broken or hazardous limbs should be removed any time of year. Avoid heavy pruning of oaks in spring and early summer.
Why topping is bad for trees
Cutting the top off a tree (topping) forces weak, fast-growing sprouts that break easily and invites decay. Proper pruning removes branches back to a healthy junction instead.
How much does tree trimming cost?
It depends on tree height, how much needs removing and access. Nationally, LawnStarter reports typical trimming around $430 to $640 per tree, with smaller trees under 30 feet often $85 to $415. We give a written estimate before any work starts.
