Tree Trimming
Healthy Trees Start with Proper Pruning
Regular trimming is one of the best things you can do for the trees on your property. Proper pruning removes deadwood that invites disease and insects, opens the canopy for better air flow and sunlight, and keeps branches safely away from your home, garage, and overhead lines.
At Environmental Tree Service, we do not just cut branches at random. Every cut has a purpose. We assess the tree's species, age, structure, and surroundings before making a single cut. Our goal is always to improve the tree's health and appearance while eliminating hazards — not to leave it looking butchered.
Whether you have a single ornamental that needs shaping or a row of mature oaks overhanging your roof, we have the bucket trucks, climbing gear, and three decades of experience to handle the job properly.

Our Approach
Trimming Services We Provide
Every tree is different, and every property has unique needs. Here is a look at the trimming and pruning services we perform most often.
Crown Thinning & Deadwood Removal
We selectively remove dead, dying, and crossing branches from the interior of the canopy. This improves air circulation, reduces weight on heavy limbs, and lets more sunlight reach your lawn and landscaping below. It also dramatically reduces the risk of branch failure during storms.
Crown Raising & Clearance Pruning
Low-hanging branches block driveways, scrape rooftops, and interfere with foot traffic. We raise the crown height by removing lower limbs to create the clearance you need while maintaining the tree's natural shape and structural integrity.
Hazard Limb Removal
Cracked, split, or overextended limbs near your home, garage, or power lines need to come down before they come down on their own. Our crew identifies and removes hazardous limbs with precision, using bucket trucks and rigging when necessary to work safely overhead.
Topping & Crown Reduction
When a tree has outgrown its space or poses a height risk near power lines and structures, we reduce the overall height and spread of the canopy. We focus on making proper cuts that promote healthy regrowth rather than leaving ugly stubs that invite decay.
Storm Preparation Trimming
Northeastern Pennsylvania sees its share of heavy snow, ice storms, and high winds. Proactive trimming before storm season removes weak, damaged, or overly dense growth that is most likely to break. An afternoon of preventative trimming can save you thousands in storm damage repairs.
Shaping & Aesthetic Pruning
Trees are a major part of your property's curb appeal. We shape overgrown or lopsided trees to restore a balanced, natural appearance. Whether you want a specific look or simply want your trees to look their best, our crew has the eye and the experience to deliver.
The Environmental Tree Difference
Why Choose Us for Tree Trimming
Not all tree trimming is created equal. A bad trim job can leave a tree scarred, stressed, and more vulnerable to disease than it was before. With Environmental Tree Service, you get a crew that understands tree biology and makes proper cuts that heal cleanly and promote healthy growth.
Because we own all of our equipment — bucket trucks, chippers, and climbing gear — we do not tack rental fees onto your bill. Weather delays do not cost you extra. And because our crew works with the same equipment every day, they are faster, safer, and more efficient than operators using unfamiliar rental machines.
