Tree Trimming & Pruning
Professional tree trimming and pruning services to keep your trees healthy, beautiful, and safe year-round.
Your trees need regular care to stay healthy and beautiful. Just like you get a haircut to look your best, your trees need trimming and pruning to thrive. Our Santa Fe tree care specialists provide expert trimming and pruning services that keep your trees in top shape while protecting your property and family.
Tree trimming is not just about looks. It is about tree health, safety, and preventing problems before they start. Dead branches can fall during Santa Fe's monsoon season or winter storms, causing damage to your home, vehicles, or power lines. Regular trimming removes these risks while encouraging stronger, healthier growth.
Why Tree Trimming Matters in Santa Fe
Santa Fe's high elevation and dry climate create unique challenges for trees. Our intense summer sun can stress trees, while sudden temperature drops in winter can damage branches. Regular pruning helps your trees adapt to these conditions and stay strong through every season.
Here is what professional tree trimming does for your property:
- Removes dead and diseased branches before they become hazards
- Improves air circulation through the canopy, reducing disease risk
- Shapes trees for better structure and stronger growth patterns
- Increases sunlight penetration to your lawn and garden below
- Prevents branches from interfering with power lines, roofs, and structures
- Enhances curb appeal and property value
Our Professional Trimming Process
We do not just cut branches randomly. We follow proven arborist techniques that promote healthy growth while protecting your trees from stress and disease. Our team evaluates each tree's species, age, and condition before making any cuts.
Crown Thinning
This involves removing select branches throughout the canopy to reduce density. It allows more light and air to reach inner branches and the ground below. Crown thinning is perfect for trees that have become too thick or are blocking views and sunlight.
Crown Raising
We remove lower branches to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and lawn maintenance. This is especially important for trees near driveways, sidewalks, and structures in Santa Fe neighborhoods.
Crown Reduction
When trees have grown too large for their space, we carefully reduce the overall size while maintaining the tree's natural shape. This technique is ideal for trees near power lines or structures where space is limited.
Best Time to Trim Trees in Santa Fe
Most trees benefit from pruning during their dormant season, typically late fall through early spring in Santa Fe. However, you can remove dead, damaged, or hazardous branches any time of year for safety reasons.
Some species have specific timing requirements. For example, fruit trees do best with late winter pruning, while oak trees should be pruned during their dormant period to reduce disease risk. We know the right timing for every tree species common to Santa Fe and surrounding areas.
