Boise Tree Trimming and Pruning

Tree trimming and pruning in Boise

Tree pruning and trimming involve selectively removing branches to improve tree structure, health, and in most cases, appearance. This includes techniques such as crown thinning, dripline raising or elevation, apical meristem reduction, and targeted deadwooding.

Why tree trimming and pruning is important

Pruning is essential for maintaining tree health, safety, and aesthetics. It removes or reduces dead, diseased, or damaged branches, improves air circulation and sunlight penetration, reduces the risk of branch failure, and shapes trees for optimal structural growth and appearance. Proper structural pruning will not only help mitigate the risk of branch failure, but will keep your tree in the proper form to ensure the tree does not form long term structural deficiencies. Pruning cycles (time between pruning), and pruning dosages (amount of live foliage to be removed) are an important aspect to be discussed before trees should be pruned. Each tree will have different pruning perscriptions based on structural integrity, proximity to targets, type of tree, and tree maturity.

How does Double J do tree trimming and pruning in Boise?

At Double J Tree Service, our certified arborists assess each tree's specific needs before pruning and develop a pruning prescription. We use industry-standard techniques and follow ANSI A300 - Part 1 pruning standards, as well as ISA's best management practices. Our team uses proper tools, from hand pruners to hydraulic lifts, depending on the job's requirements. We specialize in large tree pruning via rope access, where lifts are not accessible, and tight quarters dictate the necessity for complex rigging scenarios. We make precise cuts to minimize tree stress and promote proper healing. Our pruning approach focuses on preserving the tree's natural shape while addressing health, structural and safety concerns.

What our Boise customers say about us

"Called Justin needing help after a storm blew over a 25’ tree in front yard. Came out quick and did a great job. Highly recommend"

- T Slaven

"Justin's crew did an awesome job trimming my trees. Raked the little limbs and pinecone up. Would highly recommend them. Great service."

- Louise E.

"What an incredible company. They got here right at the time they told us and went right to work. We have a very old Catalpa, and they trimmed it up and cleaned up everything, including the branches we still had in our yard from the last storm. We will be using this company for all our future tree service needs."

- Michele A.

"We reached out to Justin and left a voice message about pruning a tall, 20 + year old birch tree. He was super responsive and worked with us on the timing. It all happened while I was away at work and it was done with care for our tree and property. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but we worried about precarious, branches breaking and falling onto property or worse. Thank you to Justin and crew for a job well done."

- Linda W.

Frequently asked questions

1. What's the difference between tree pruning and trimming?

Pruning focuses on removing specific branches to improve tree health and structure, while trimming is generally done for aesthetic purposes and to manage tree size.

2. How often should I have my trees pruned or trimmed?

Most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species, age, and condition of the tree. Some fast-growing trees may need annual trimming.

3. What's the best time of year for tree pruning?

Late winter or early spring is generally best for most trees, as it's before new growth begins. However, timing can vary depending on the tree species and specific pruning goals.

4. How much does tree pruning in Boise cost?

Pruning costs vary based on tree size, location, and the extent of work needed. We provide FREE on-site estimates (quotes) for accurate pricing.

5. Can pruning help prevent storm damage to my trees?

Yes, proper pruning can reduce the risk of storm damage by removing weak, dead, or overextended branches that are more susceptible to failure in high winds.

6. Do you use spikes when climbing trees for pruning?

No, we never use spikes for pruning as they can damage the tree. We use safe climbing techniques and equipment that don't harm the tree.

7. How do I know if my tree needs pruning?

Signs that a tree needs pruning include dead or crossing branches, dense canopy, branches interfering with structures or utilities, or poor shape.

8. Can pruning save a diseased tree?

In many cases, yes. Proper pruning can remove diseased portions and improve air circulation, helping to manage and sometimes overcome certain tree diseases.
