What Tree Trimming and Pruning Covers

Tree trimming and pruning mean the same thing to most people: cutting away the wood a tree does not need so the rest grows strong. We raise low limbs off your roof and driveway, thin a thick canopy so storm wind blows through instead of pushing the tree over, and take out dead or crossing branches.

How you cut matters as much as what you cut. A clean cut at the branch collar heals over; a torn or badly placed cut invites rot. We shape young trees so they grow with good structure, and open up older ones that have gone years without attention. Crape myrtles get cut back the right way, without the heavy topping that ruins their shape.

Why Trimming Pays Off Early

A tree that has not been trimmed in years carries dead wood and a heavy, crowded canopy. When a North Texas storm rolls in, that extra weight and wind resistance is what snaps limbs and splits trunks. Trimming on a regular basis keeps the tree lighter, lets you catch small problems early, and keeps branches off your roof and clear of the power drop. It costs far less than removing a tree that failed in a storm.

Not Sure What a Tree Needs?

Send us a photo by text. We will tell you if it needs a trim, a bigger prune or something else, and give you a free quote either way.

Signs Your Trees Need Trimming

  • Branches growing toward a power drop or walkway
Why Choose S&L

Why Homeowners Trust S&L With Their Trees

  • Clean Cuts, Good Shape

    Trimming is easy to do badly. We cut at the right spot so the wounds heal and the tree keeps its shape, instead of hacking it back and hoping for the best.

  • Safe Around the House

    Customers mention the safety gear and the careful climbing. Limbs come down under control, clear of the roof, the fence and the power drop to the house.

  • They Call Us Back

    Many reviewers have used us more than once, some over several years of tree work. Repeat jobs are a big share of what we do, and that only happens when the work holds up.

Cesar and his crew did a great job trimming two large trees, one in my front yard and another in my neighbor's yard hanging over my roof.

How much does tree trimming cost in Irving?

It depends on the size of the tree, how much wood comes off and how hard the limbs are to reach. There is no flat rate, so we look at the tree and give you a free quote before any work starts.

When is the best time to trim trees in North Texas?

For most trees, the dormant stretch from late fall into winter is the easiest time, since the tree is not busy growing leaves. Dead or storm-broken limbs can come off any time. Oaks are the exception: avoid trimming them from February through June, when the beetles that spread oak wilt are most active. See our oak tree trimming page for the details.

What is the difference between trimming and pruning?

In everyday use, none. Both mean removing branches a tree does not need. Pruning sometimes points to careful, selective cuts for the tree's health, and trimming to shaping and keeping limbs clear. We do both on the same visit.

Do you haul away the branches?

Yes. We haul off the limbs and rake the ground, and we can chip the brush on site if you want mulch for your beds. Cleanup is part of the price.

Can you trim a tree hanging over my roof?

Yes. We lower those limbs in small pieces so nothing drops on the house. Several reviews describe us trimming large trees that hung right over a roof.
