Tree trimming focuses on improving a tree’s appearance by shaping its canopy and removing overgrown branches. Tree pruning is more technical and targets the overall health of the tree by removing dead, diseased, or weak limbs while improving structure and safety. Pinnacle Tree provides both services using industry-approved techniques.

Pruning boosts tree health by removing hazardous or unhealthy branches, encouraging strong growth, improving airflow, and preventing disease. It also reduces the risk of limb failure during storms—important for Maine’s weather conditions.

Most trees benefit from maintenance every 1–3 years, depending on species, age, and location. Ornamental trees may require more frequent aesthetic pruning, while mature trees may only need periodic structural care. Pinnacle Tree can recommend an ideal schedule based on your landscape.

Trimming enhances curb appeal, shapes the canopy, prevents branches from interfering with structures, and helps maintain clear walkways, driveways, and waterfront views. It’s key for keeping your property looking neat and well cared for.
