Pruning & Tree Trimming Services in Short Hills & Livingston, NJ

Keeping Your Trees Healthy and Happy

Tree trimming keeps your yard neat and well-maintained while giving your trees some much-needed TLC. The process removes dead or diseased branches, allowing the tree's healthy parts to get more sunshine and thrive. Cutting away low-hanging and weak branches also prevents them from breaking off and causing injury or damage. Moore's Tree Service can help your trees grow stronger and live longer, beautifying your property for many more years. 

Moore's Approach to Tree Trimming

Moore's tree care service takes a less-is-more approach to tree trimming. Our experts are committed to comprehensive tree care services and make strategic cuts that encourage healthy growth while maintaining the tree's natural shape. Over-trimming trees stresses them, negatively impacting their health and making them more vulnerable to damage from high winds, diseases, and insects. 

Crown Cleaning

Crown cleaning, also known as deadwooding, removes dead, weak, diseased, dying, damaged branches and hazardous limbs from the upper part of the tree, helping to improve its health and appearance without modifying its shape. In addition, this process removes potential hazards associated with large dead branches.

Crown Raising

Crown raising focuses on removing the tree's lower branches, giving the crown a raised appearance by creating more space below it. The branches may be trimmed for various reasons, including improving the tree's appearance and creating ample outdoor space for cars and people to pass beneath it safely. 

Crown Reduction

Crown reduction reduces the tree's size without changing its natural shape. Preserving the tree's health and keeping the branches away from houses and power lines are a few reasons for the process. We avoid cutting too much to prevent shocking the tree. 

Crown Restoration

We use the crown restoration to encourage healthy regrowth in the tree's natural shape. It involves removing specific dead or diseased branches, so new, vibrant ones can regrow in their place. 

Hazard Trimming

Branches may not look heavy, but they can cause severe damage or injury if they land on people, buildings, pets, or vehicles. Hazard trimming, which focuses on safety, involves removing branches deemed dangerous, such as broken ones hanging over a playground or a roof.

Tree Trimming FAQ

Can Tree Trimming Be Done in Any Season?

Technically, trees can be trimmed anytime in NJ, but late winter is best as trees are dormant, reducing stress and pest risks. Without foliage, it's easier to assess the tree's condition. Light pruning is fine in spring/summer, but should be minimal. Avoid trimming in autumn as it can weaken trees.

Removing dead and diseased branches is okay year-round and often improves a tree's health without causing harm. However, any branches that pose dangers to people, pets, property, or vehicles should be removed regardless of the season.

What Are Some Signs My Tree Needs Trimming?

Dead, broken, diseased, damaged, weak, or discolored branches typically need to be trimmed, whether after a storm or anytime throughout the year. Overly large or drooping tree branches may also require trimming for safety purposes. Additionally, watch for oozing branches, which could indicate diseased trees and require evaluation.
