Tree Trimming & Pruning

Why Regular Tree Trimming Is Important

Tree trimming and pruning are not just about making your yard look nice. These services keep your trees healthy and prevent problems before they start. When you trim dead or overgrown branches, you help the tree grow stronger and reduce the risk of branches falling on your home, car, or family.

In Roswell, NM, trees face unique challenges from our dry climate, high winds, and occasional severe storms. Without proper trimming, weak branches can break off during windstorms and cause serious damage. Regular pruning removes these hazards and gives your trees the best chance to thrive in our local conditions.

At Root & Crown Roswell Tree Services, we understand how to trim trees properly without harming them. We use proven techniques that promote healthy growth and improve the shape of your trees. Whether you need light maintenance or major pruning, our team has the skills and equipment to do it right.

• Healthier trees that grow stronger and live longer
• Improved tree shape and appearance for better curb appeal
• Reduced risk of falling branches during storms
• Better sunlight penetration for your lawn and garden

Regular trimming also saves you money in the long run. By catching problems early, you can avoid costly tree removal services down the road. Trees that receive consistent care are less likely to develop structural issues or become hazards.

How We Trim and Prune Your Trees

Tree trimming is more than just cutting branches. It requires knowledge of tree biology and the right techniques to avoid causing damage. Here is how we approach every job:

First, we inspect your trees to identify dead, diseased, or damaged branches. We also look for branches that cross or rub against each other, as these can create weak spots. Our goal is to remove problem areas while maintaining the natural shape of the tree.

Next, we use sharp, professional tools to make clean cuts that heal quickly. We never tear or rip branches because that can invite disease and pests. Our crew knows exactly where to cut to encourage healthy new growth and prevent decay.

As we work, we pay close attention to safety. We use ropes and rigging to lower large branches carefully, so nothing falls on your property. If your tree is near power lines or structures, we take extra precautions to protect everything around it.

After we finish trimming, we clean up all the branches and debris. We haul everything away and leave your yard looking neat and tidy. If you need additional services like stump grinding, we can take care of that too.

When to Schedule Tree Trimming

Timing matters when it comes to tree trimming. In Roswell, the best time to trim most trees is during late winter or early spring before new growth starts. This allows the tree to heal quickly and put energy into healthy new branches.

However, some situations require immediate attention. If you notice dead branches, storm damage, or limbs hanging over your roof, you should call us right away. Waiting can put your property and family at risk.

We recommend trimming your trees every 3 to 5 years depending on the species and growth rate. Faster growing trees may need more frequent attention, while slower growing trees can go longer between trimmings. During your free consultation, we will create a maintenance schedule that works for your trees and your budget.
