Tree Trimming & Pruning in Evansville, IN

Good pruning keeps your trees healthy, safe, and off your roof. Bad pruning — topping, over-lifting, "hat-racking" — permanently damages a tree and often kills it slowly. We trim to accepted arboriculture standards so your trees keep their structure and value.

Whether you need a maple lifted off your garage or a storm-prone canopy thinned before summer, we prune with a plan.

Why we will not top your tree

Topping — cutting a tree down to stubs — is the single most harmful thing you can do to a mature tree. It triggers weak, fast-growing water sprouts, opens huge wounds to decay, and creates a far more dangerous tree within a few years. If a tree is too big for its spot, the right answer is proper reduction pruning or removal, and we will tell you which.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to trim trees in Indiana?

Late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant) is ideal for most species in our climate, but dead, damaged, and hazardous limbs can and should be removed any time of year. Oaks are best pruned in winter to avoid oak wilt.

Do you top trees?

No. Topping permanently damages trees and creates hazards. We use proper reduction and thinning techniques, or recommend removal if a tree is truly too large for its location.
