Tree Trimming & Pruning in Bloomingdale, Tennessee

Tree Trimming & Pruning for Bloomingdale Homes

Older frame houses and brick ranches along Bloomingdale Pike often have shade trees as old as the house, and their limbs have spread over the roof, the porch and the drive. Tree trimming brings that canopy back into balance. We take out dead and broken wood, cut back limbs that rub shingles or drop leaves into gutters, and raise branches over the driveway so trucks clear them. On older roofs, keeping heavy limbs off the surface matters even more, since aging shingles take damage much more easily than new ones.

Ice and wind are the main reasons to prune in Bloomingdale. Winter ice storms load Bradford pears and pines until limbs split, and the weak forks on old pears are some of the first to fail. Ridge-top trees catch the full force of summer straight-line winds, so thinning their crowns lets gusts pass through. Limbs that hang over Bloomingdale Pike or a county road can fall into traffic, and work along a road right-of-way may need a permit. Lines along the road belong to the power company, so call the utility first for anything near a wire.

On steep banks and long gravel drives, the choice between climbing and a lift comes down to what the ground will hold. Heavy limbs are roped down rather than dropped onto the roof or porch, and every cut is made at the branch collar. We never top trees. On acreage, limb wood can be left cut to firewood length, chipped or hauled away. Our locally owned and operated crew starts the on-site estimate with a walk around the house, deciding which limbs come off and which shade you want to keep.
