Pruning is more targeted than a general trim. We assess each tree's structure, identify branches that are dead, diseased, crossing, or poorly attached, and remove them with proper cuts that promote healing. For younger trees on Mills River properties, structural pruning now can prevent expensive problems decades down the road. For mature trees, maintenance pruning keeps them safe and looking their best.

We follow established arboricultural standards — no topping, no flush cuts, and no unnecessary removal. The goal is always to leave the tree healthier than we found it.
