Tree Pruning

Correct tree pruning is essential to promoting healthy, beautiful trees on your property. Tree pruning is the removal of dead, decaying, and/or undesirable limbs from a tree in order to:

  • Improve visual appeal
  • Promote healthy growth
  • Remove hazards

Safe & Professional Tree Pruning

At Hansen’s, we offer safe and effective pruning methods that are proven to add strength and beauty to your trees, while reducing the potential for breakage or hazards:

  • Cleaning: The removal of dead, dying, diseased, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
  • Thinning: Selective branch removal to improve structure and to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Proper thinning opens the foliage of a tree, reduces weight on heavy limbs, and helps retain the tree’s natural shape.
  • Raising: Removes the lower branches from a tree to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and vistas.
  • Reduction: Reduces the size of a tree, often for utility line clearance. Reducing a tree’s height or spread is best accomplished by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to secondary branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). Compared to topping, reduction helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree.

These practices are approved by the International Society of Arborists (ISA) and our knowledgeable ISA Certified Arborists are committed to practicing ethical tree pruning techniques.

When To Call A Professional

Uncertain whether your trees need to be pruned? At Hansen’s, we offer free estimates and risk assessments to help you determine if your trees need to be pruned. Be sure to call a professional if your tree limbs are:

  • Broken and hanging
  • Close to your home or power lines
  • Haven’t been pruned before

If you notice that your tree has broken limbs or limbs close to power lines, do not walk under hanging limbs or attempt to remove them yourself.

Avoid accidents and call a professional for safe removal.

    Problem. Gone.I had two willow trees that grew up big, beautiful and fast and then they quickly became diseased and died in less than a year. After my previous experience with cutting down and digging out my own dead tree that was only 5" in diameter, I said there is no way I'm even contemplating doing this for a 10 inch diameter Willow!I heard them advertise for a long time with glowing reviews on the Dave Glover show and so gave them a call. They had a quote to me within 24 hours after their estimator came out and looked at my two Willows. From the time I replied to the e-mail (I accept the proposal, please remove them!) to the time the two trees were gone and stumps ground out was only 2 days!The two gentlemen that arrived were very polite and careful with their work, ensuring the yard was only disturbed to the extent required.They ground out those gnarly roots and went down a foot or so, then back filled it with ground up matter and soil. They even put back our grandma's memorial stones in the area and in the same pattern they found them!Very reasonable pricing, incredibly fast service and excellent staff. I will be using Hansen's for all my future tree needs.read more

    Hansen’s pruned three trees at my business location. All the trees were around the parking lot. They were very careful not to let any of the branches fall on my staff’s cars and they cleaned up beautifully. Would definitely hire them again.read more

    Hansen's removed a huge pine tree from our front yard that was past saving, for a very reasonable price. They also cut out an overgrown bush in the backyard and hauled it off for free!read more

    We have used Hansen's twice. The first time, we had to clean up woods behind our new house that were overgrown from the lot being unoccupied before our house was built. They provided excellent advice on what to cut down and what to keep, and the woods still look great seven years later. This morning they removed a tree from my front yard that never did well (builder installed), and again they did a great job and cleaned up after. I would definitely recommend them.read more
