Making Your Trees Healthy and Safe

Regular pruning and maintenance can help keep your trees healthy and thriving for years to come. Lee's Tree Service can perform a safety pruning technique by removing dead wood and branches that could break off and cause injury or damage.

Our team can also perform a crown reduction by trimming the entire tree back so that it's smaller and safer.

Keep Your Favorite Trees Upright

Has an otherwise healthy tree started to lean? Is there a large limb cracking under its weight? We can use cables to keep the tree upright or install bracing rods to support limbs.

24-Hour Emergency Service

Have any of your trees been damaged or threatened by a storm? Lee's Tree Service is available 24/7 for all of your tree emergencies!

Signs that Your Trees Need to be Pruned

We don't just cut branches, we make your trees better! Your trees are a valuable asset and need regular maintenance to look their best. Don't compromise. Insist on having them pruned by an expert who knows how to optimize tree health, minimize safety risks, improve aesthetics and meet your personal needs for your property. Below are some signs to show when it's time to get your tree pruned.
  • The Tree Looks "Sick"

    If you can see dead, dying, diseased, or spindly branches throughout the tree, it often indicates that the tree isn't in optimal health. Pruning out these dead or weak branches can help identify the underlying cause of the problem and help the tree recover more quickly.

  • The Tree is Unsafe

    There are several signs that your tree needs pruning for safety reasons, such as long, heavy branches, structural defects, broken, cracked or hanging branches, and competition between branches.


    These all put your tree at increased risk of damage during storms but can be addressed through proper pruning.

  • The Tree is Getting in the Way

    When your tree is blocking access to buildings, obstructing cars and pedestrians, or getting in the way of your view, there are only two real options: cutting down the tree or using a pruning technique called crown raising.

  • The Tree is Too Big

    Sometimes a tree grows too tall or too wide for the space it’s in or begins to encroach on utility lines or structural elements (such as your roof). 


    If you don’t want to cut down the tree, special pruning techniques can be used to minimize the tree's size. Note that this is vastly different from tree topping (which should not be done!)

Types of Pruning

  • Crown Cleaning

    Crown cleaning involves the removal of all branches that aren’t contributing to the overall health and appearance of the tree. We can also remove items that shouldn’t be in the tree canopy. The end result is a healthier and better-shaped tree.

  • Crown Raising

    By removing selected lower branches from a tree, crown raising can provide additional clearance to open up vistas and restore access. If possible, it’s best to do this type of pruning before a tree reaches maturity in order to avoid large wounds.

  • Crown Thinning

    When thinning a tree, branches are selectively pruned out to reduce the density of live branches in the tree canopy. This increases light penetration and air movement throughout the tree, stimulates interior growth, and reduces wind resistance (which decreases the risk of storm damage). Done properly, thinning maintains the tree’s natural shape.

  • Crown Reduction

    Reduction pruning reduces the overall size and/or spread of the tree. This isn't "shearing" or “topping” a tree. It's precision work that cuts each branch at just the right spot to help maintain the overall form, health, and structural integrity of the tree.
