- 01
Canopy walk-through
We identify deadwood, weak unions, rubbing limbs, and clearance problems with you on site.

Prune to standard
Proper collar cuts, no topping, no lion-tailing, and never more live crown than the tree can afford to lose.
- 03
Clearance work
Roof, structure, and driveway clearance set so limbs stop scraping siding and shingles.

Chip and clean
All brush chipped and hauled, beds and lawn blown clean before we leave.
Flying Horse conditions that affect the job
Local terrain, access, and tree stock change how tree trimming & pruning gets done in Flying Horse.
- Mature ponderosa left standing through development, now dropping limbs over roofs and drives.
- Tight side yards and HOA landscaping that require rigging or a bucket truck instead of felling.
- Beetle-killed pines scattered through otherwise healthy neighborhood stands.
- Wet spring snow that overloads unpruned canopies on the north end of town.
What affects the price: Tree size and how much of the canopy needs work; Whether the crew can work from the ground, a lift, or has to climb; Deadwood volume — years of neglect takes longer than annual maintenance; Number of trees; multiple trees in one visit is always cheaper per tree.
