Good pruning is preventive: limbs off the shingles before they grind through them, deadwood out of the canopy before a storm drops it on the patio, weight reduced on the long horizontal branches that fail first.
Bad pruning is topping — chopping the crown flat. It stresses the tree into throwing up weak shoots that all fail in a few years. We do not top trees, and we will say so if that is what is being asked for.
Snap the tree from the yard and text it over. Most jobs get a real quote from a photo and a couple of questions.
A firm quote for exactly what comes down, what gets ground, and what gets hauled — before anyone starts a saw.
Lawn protected while the equipment works, everything chipped and hauled, and the yard raked before the crew leaves.
★★★★★“Second time I used Ernie, great guy. Came to my new house and cleaned up years old dead stumps left by the previous owner, and bushes I cut down near the house. On time, great communication and affordable price.”
★★★★★“100% would hire again! Awesome guy, very professional, did the job quickly and well. He had to maneuver his machine into my backyard and did a great job. Also very affordable!”
