PROFESSIONAL TREE PRUNING AND TRIMMING SERVICES

Trimming and pruning a tree involves getting rid of all broken, dead and crossing branches to promote the tree’s safety, beauty, function and health. While these tasks may seem simple, amateur pruning could prematurely end the life of your beautiful trees.

On top of that, trimming the top of trees can be dangerous, especially for people who lack experience or proper training. The wrong cuts can cause tree branches to fall on you or your property.

Instead of doing everything on your own, have Rivendell Tree Experts take care of the job. Our arborists have the tools and experience to perform tree trimming and pruning for Utah County residents.   

Why Do We Prune?

Safety - Proper pruning will lead to improved tree structure, preventing hazards and reducing liability.

Improved tree health - Thinning a dense canopy will improve airflow and sunlight penetration. Dead branches can introduce decay organisms and insects into the tree.
​
Encourage Fruit Production – A tree that produces fruit benefits from pruning. By eliminating dead limbs, you make the tree healthier and promote an increase in fruit production. You also encourage the growth of tree spurs, which helps the tree to produce fruit.

Aesthetics - Sometime erratic growth occurs which can change a trees shape and growth habit. Pruning can help the tree correct these deficiencies.

When Do We Prune?

Dead, damaged, and diseased branches should be pruned off right away. Trees that are growing into structures or hanging low over roads and walkways should also be pruned as soon as possible. 

Here are some signs that will help you figure out when to prune your tree:

• Dense Growth– Overgrowth is a sign that a tree requires pruning. You’ll know it’s time to trim when you cannot see through the branches.
• Dead Leader Branch – A tree may have one or several leader branches. Pruning the dead leader branches helps keep the tree healthy.
• Wandering Branches – Untamed or wild branches can damage your home’s telephone, cable or electrical wires. 

 How Do We Prune?

We remove dead, damaged, diseased, and crossing branches. We also manage clearance and aesthetic objectives. 

Pruning cuts should be made just outside of the branch collar. Prune back to an appropriate lateral branch to avoid "topping."

​When our tree trimming specialists in Utah County get to work, they climb your trees using pulleys, harnesses and ropes. Doing so lets them access every part of the plant and allows them to perform precision trimming. On top of that, they use state-of-the-art cutting tools to prune or trim the tree precisely.
