Tree Trimming & Pruning in Marysville

Common trimming jobs

• Roof clearance: cutting branches back from the roofline. Less shade and debris means less roof moss and fewer clogged gutters.
• Crown thinning: removing select branches so wind passes through the tree instead of pushing it over.
• Deadwood removal: taking out dead limbs before a storm drops them.
• Crown raising: lifting low branches over driveways, sidewalks and lawns.

Why you should avoid topping

Cutting the top off a tree leaves large wounds that rot. The tree responds with clusters of weakly attached sprouts that break easily in wind. A reputable crew will thin or reduce the crown instead.

When to trim

Late fall through winter, when many trees are dormant, is a good time for most pruning. Dead or hazardous limbs should be dealt with any time of year.

Near power lines?

Branches touching lines on the street side are usually handled by Snohomish County PUD. Lines from the pole to your house may be your responsibility. Never prune near a line yourself.
