Tree & Palm Trimming in Tempe, AZ

Shaping, thinning and palm skinning before the monsoon takes a limb — Tempe, Maricopa County.

The shade is the best thing a Tempe yard has and the thing most likely to cost you money in August. On a small lot the tree is close to the house by definition, so when a monsoon wind hits a canopy thick enough to act like a sail, the limb it takes is over the roof, the car or the wall. Trimming is what changes that. We thin the canopy so wind moves through it instead of pushing against it, take weight off the ends of long limbs rather than gutting the centre of the tree, clear branches back off rooflines, walls, sidewalks and driveways, cut out deadwood, and skin palms of dead fronds and date pods. All of it goes on the trailer and leaves with us. The work is worth doing before the storms rather than the morning after one.

Tree Trimming in Tempe

Here is the balance on a small Tempe lot: thin the tree enough that wind passes through it, but not so much that you lose the shade the yard was built around. A tree cut back to stubs pushes out a mess of weak growth the next spring and ends up heavier and more brittle than it started. We cut back to growth points that can carry the tree forward, which is less dramatic on the day and is why the shade is still there in a few years.

Questions about tree trimming in Tempe

How do I know when a tree needs thinning?

Look at it in wind. If the whole canopy moves as one piece instead of the branches moving individually, it is dense enough to catch a storm, and that is the tree most likely to lose a limb.

Do you clean palms, or only take them down?

Both, and they are separate jobs. Cleaning is dead fronds and date pods off and hauled away; removal is the palm coming out entirely.

Branches are over the neighbour's roof. Can you cut those?

We work what is reachable and appropriate from your side, and it is worth talking to the neighbour beforehand so nobody is surprised by people working above their yard.
