What time of year should trees be trimmed in Rome?

Dead, broken or hazardous limbs can come off any time. Bigger structural trimming is often easier in late fall and winter when the limb structure is visible.

Will trimming hurt the tree?

Not when limbs are cut back to a proper point and the amount removed is reasonable. Taking off too much at once is what stresses a tree.

Topping a healthy tree is not something we recommend. If a tree is too big for its spot, reducing specific limbs or removing it is the better conversation.

Do you clean up the brush?

Yes. Brush is chipped and hauled off and the work area is cleaned before we leave.

Can you trim several trees at once?

Yes, and doing multiple trees on one visit is usually more efficient than one at a time.

Tree Trimming in Rome, GA

Trimming is what you do for a tree you want to keep. In Rome, that usually means getting limbs off a roof, raising the canopy over a drive, and taking out the deadwood before wind does it for you.

Tony's has trimmed trees around Rome since 1982 and quotes trimming in person at no charge.

Clearance work around Rome homes

Mature trees close to houses are common here, and the most requested trimming is simple clearance: limbs off shingles and gutters, branches away from siding and chimneys, and low limbs raised over drives and walkways.

Limbs over a roof get roped and lowered rather than dropped. Brush is chipped and hauled off and the area is raked before the crew leaves.

Knowing when trimming is not the answer

Trimming will not fix a tree that is failing. If the trunk is hollow, split at a main fork, or the tree is dead, we will say so and price removal instead — that is a more useful answer than trimming a tree that needs to come down.
