Properly pruning your trees increases their health by 20%. Neglecting to prune your trees often may lead to various landscape issues, such as diseases and infection.

 At Riverbend Tree Service, we adhere to all ANSI A300 Standards and assure that our professional tree pruning services will improve the health and appearance of your trees. Our arborists offer industry-standard tree pruning that not only maintains your trees but also improves your safety.

Schedule an appointment with one of our professional arborists.

WHY? Crown cleaning is a pruning technique used when tree branches are diseased, weak, too long, or dead. These conditions can harm the tree's overall structural integrity and may put your landscape’s health at risk. By pruning these problematic sections of the tree, we improve the tree's health and longevity.

WHAT? Our arborists selectively prune deadwood, diseased branches, and dying limbs from the canopy of a tree. We also prune crossing and rubbing limbs that can ruin the tree's shape or open up wounds that leave it vulnerable to pests and diseases.

WHY? Sometimes, tree branches grow too low to the ground or nearby structures, obstructing access to walkways, patios, and drives, creating unusable areas beneath the tree, or casting too much shade.

WHAT? Crown raising (or elevating) involves removing the lower branches to provide clearance from the ground or structure. This helps guide the tree's growth and lifts the limbs off the ground, allowing more sunlight to break through and opening access.

Schedule an appointment with one of our professional arborists.

WHY? When a tree grows too large for the space it's in, grows up into overhead power lines, or develops an unappealing or lopsided shape, then it's time to look at pruning options to reduce the size or reshape the canopy.

WHAT? Crown reduction or shaping consists of decreasing the actual height or spread of a tree.

IMPORTANT NOTE - This is NOT the same thing as tree topping.

It is also important to note which species of trees are better equipped to sustain this type of pruning. Our tree specialists can help you choose the exact type of pruning your trees need most.

WHY? When branches are decaying or declining, they pose an imminent danger to you and your family. For example, dead branches close to the house, street, or patio/playground can be a major safety hazard. Trees may also have been damaged due to high winds, snow or ice loads, lightning strikes or construction activities.

WHAT? Our team offers on-call emergency hazardous reduction pruning services that can help you maintain your trees and keep you safe.

IMPORTANT NOTE - If you're experiencing a tree emergency, don't wait!

There are many providers in the DMV area who say they can "prune your trees". But they're not all equal. Always look for a company with ISA Certified Arborists on staff and ask to see proof of general liability insurance specifically for tree work, as well as workers' compensation insurance. Read our reviews below to see why our customers think Riverbend Tree Service is the best choice for tree pruning and trimming.

As a local business, we love to support local associations and other organizations. However, as tree and landscape professionals, it's also important that we stay up-to-date on the latest developments in our field - which is why we're also proud members of national industry associations.
