First and foremost, is to determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain and improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees. You should never top certain species of trees, this will lead to multiple problems and hazards in the future, that is, if the tree survives! Different species of trees can endure different trimming methods as well.

    Reasons of Pruning or Trimming a Tree:
  • Eliminating branches that rub or crossover each other.
  • Removing limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows, or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
  • Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay, this is known as "Deadwooding."
  • Removing diseased or insect-infested limbs. Limbs that are weak or decayed are more vulnerable to insect and pest.
  • Creating better structure to lessen wind resistance and reduce the potential for storm damage.
  • Training young trees.
  • Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions.
  • Thinning or removal of branches to increase light penetration.
  • Improving the shape or silhouette of the tree.

Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fall, like the trees above, often landing on homes, cars, other structures, or other trees. The weight of storm-damaged trees is great, and they can be very dangerous to remove or trim. Here at A1 Stump Removal, we can assist in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing further risk of damage to your property. A crane may be required to lift the tremendous weight of the tree safely off of your belongings, without a device hold the tree in place as it is cut, the weight of the freed piece may fall further, creating more damage and possible bodily injury. Few tree services in Spokane have such equipment, you came to the right place.
