Elite spent a week clearing overhanging and dangerous trees from the power lines, roadways, and structures around my 30 acre property. They left stump-free, spaces I'll be able to mow next year.
Elite brought a professionalism and camaraderie that I haven't seen in quite awhile. They cleaned all their trash, which is rare. They can also process a credit card; which allowed me to turn a $6k cash job into a $20k completed project.
I will bring Elite out again, and absolutely recommend this service.
Thank you for your help, Elite.

A line of 80+ year old trees mark a property line of our place. Some were about 50’ from our home. We decided that it was time for the trees to be removed. Since the trees were so close to the house, we were a bit uneasy about what could happen during removal. DH spoke with a couple of tree services and selected Elite Tree Service…insured, bonded, knowledgeable.
Elite Tree Service arrived on time with three men and the right equipment to do the job efficiently. Watching them was like watching a well choreographed dance. Each movement was competent and precise. The house was never in jeopardy. The yard was completely clean before they left.
DO NOT HESITATE to trust this team with removing trees from near your home.

Tree Trimming vs Tree Pruning – What’s the Difference?

Tree trimming and pruning are often used interchangeably, but they serve different purposes depending on the tree’s condition and the goals for the property.

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming focuses on managing size, shape, and clearance. It helps improve safety, maintain appearance, and prevent branches from interfering with structures or access areas.

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning targets the health and structure of the tree. It involves removing dead, damaged, or weak branches to support proper growth and long-term stability.

Tree Trimming Cost – What Affects the Price ?

The cost of professional tree trimming can vary depending on several factors unique to each property and tree. At Elite Tree Service, pricing is based on the scope of work required to trim safely and correctly, not flat estimates that overlook important details.

Key factors that affect tree trimming cost include:

Tree size and height
Tree condition and structural complexity
Accessibility and location on the property
Proximity to homes, power lines, or other structure
Type of trimming or pruning required
Emergency or high-risk conditions

This approach helps ensure pricing is accurate, fair, and aligned with the level of care needed for each job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming & Pruning

How often should trees be trimmed or pruned?

Most trees benefit from trimming every 1 to 3 years, depending on species, growth rate, and location. Trees near homes or high-traffic areas may need more frequent attention to maintain safety and structure.

Is there a best time of year for tree trimming?

In many cases, trimming can be done year-round. However, late winter or early spring is often ideal for routine trimming, while damaged or hazardous branches should be addressed as soon as they’re identified.

Can trimming improve a tree’s health?

Yes. Proper trimming removes dead or weak branches, improves airflow, and reduces stress on the tree, all of which support healthier growth and long-term stability.

Is professional tree trimming safer than doing it myself?

Professional trimming is significantly safer, especially for larger trees or branches near structures. Trained crews use proper equipment and techniques to reduce the risk of injury or property damage.

Will trimming help prevent storm damage?

Trimming can reduce wind resistance and remove weak limbs, which lowers the chance of breakage during storms. While no tree is storm-proof, regular maintenance greatly improves resilience.
