Tree Pruning Service
Healthy, well-pruned trees contribute to a safer and more attractive property. Over time, unchecked growth can lead to structural problems or create risks during severe weather. At R M Tree Care, we take a thoughtful approach to tree pruning—addressing each tree’s specific condition with precision and care. Our skilled team uses proven techniques to support long-term strength and stability, from shaping young trees to correcting overgrowth.
Why Tree Pruning Matters
Pruning isn’t just about appearances; it helps guide proper growth, remove potential hazards, and support the long-term health of your trees. Strategic cuts allow light and air to reach the canopy, reducing the risk of breakage and minimizing disease. We evaluate the condition and location of each tree to determine the most suitable pruning approach, helping to keep your property safe and beautiful.
When is the Best Time to Prune?
Timing depends on the species and purpose. Most trees benefit from pruning during the dormant season, typically late winter or early spring, while some flowering trees are best pruned after they have bloomed. We’ll help you determine the proper schedule for your specific trees and goals.
Types of Pruning We Offer
We provide a full range of pruning services designed to meet different tree needs and seasonal conditions, including:
- Deadwood Removal – Eliminates dead or dying limbs to prevent hazards
- Canopy Thinning – Improves airflow and reduces weight on large limbs
- Canopy Raising – Clears lower branches to improve clearance for walkways, driveways, or views
- Canopy Reduction – Reduces height or spread without compromising tree health
- Structural Pruning – Encourages strong, well-formed growth in younger trees

Our Pruning Process
Every job starts with a walk-through and tree assessment. We consider the tree’s species, age, structure, and surrounding environment to plan the right cuts. From there, we use safe, precise techniques to protect both the tree and your property. After pruning, we clean up all debris so your landscape is left in top condition.

Thank you Justin Bernard! Judi Marsh2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called RM Tree care on Friday for an estimate. Jeff came out and gave us an estimate. The estimate was very reasonable so we accepted. Then Justin called us that evening and scheduled us for Saturday because the weather was supposed to be bad the next week. The team came out and removed 8 trees and also trimmed all of our trees in our backyard. We are really happy with their work, communication, and timeliness. I would definitely use them again. I don't have all of their names, but thank you to Justin, Jeff, Adam, and Ricky and the rest of the crew!
