Tree Trimming & Pruning in Rochester, MN

Good pruning keeps limbs off your roof, lets light into the yard and helps a tree hold up better in wind and ice. Send one request and a local pro can quote it.

Common trimming jobs

• Clearing branches away from the roof, siding, chimney and gutters
• Raising low limbs over driveways, sidewalks and play areas
• Removing dead, broken or crossing branches
• Thinning a dense crown so wind passes through
• Structural pruning of young trees so they grow strong

Timing in Minnesota

Many arborists like to prune during the dormant season, roughly late fall through early spring, when it's easier to see the branch structure. Oaks are a special case: to reduce the risk of oak wilt spreading, oaks are generally not pruned from about April through July. A pro can tell you what's right for your tree.

Trees near power lines

Branches touching or close to power lines are a job for the utility or a line-clearance crew, not a homeowner. Don't try it yourself.
