Tree Trimming & Pruning in Charlotte, NC

Overgrown canopy? Dead branches? Limbs scraping your roof? We trim it right and keep your trees healthy for years.

Tree Trimming in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte gets over 43 inches of rain a year and summers regularly push past 90 degrees. That combination makes trees grow fast — and when they're not properly maintained, you end up with overgrown canopies, dead branches, and limbs rubbing against your roof or siding. Regular trimming keeps all of that in check.

We've been trimming trees across Charlotte for over a decade, from the historic oaks in Dilworth to the tall pines lining streets in Ballantyne. Our approach is simple: we trim what needs to go, keep what doesn't, and make sure your trees stay healthy for years to come. No topping, no over-pruning — just proper technique that respects the tree's natural form.

What We Offer

Our tree trimming services cover everything you need for your Charlotte property.

Crown Thinning

Charlotte's humid summers and dense canopies can create the perfect conditions for fungal growth. Crown thinning opens up the canopy to improve airflow and light penetration, which helps keep your trees healthy and reduces the risk of disease.

Deadwood Removal

Dead branches are a liability, especially during Charlotte's summer thunderstorms and occasional ice storms. We remove deadwood throughout the canopy so you're not worrying about branches falling on your car, your roof, or your kids.

Canopy Shaping

Overgrown trees can block views, shade out your lawn, and make your property feel closed in. We shape the canopy to improve the look of your trees while maintaining their structural integrity.

Clearance Pruning

Branches growing into your roof, hanging over your driveway, or pressing against power lines need to be dealt with. We prune back limbs to maintain safe clearance from structures and utilities throughout your property.

Seasonal Maintenance

Different species need trimming at different times. We schedule your service based on what's best for the specific trees on your property, whether that's late winter dormancy pruning or summer corrective work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tree trimming in Charlotte, NC.

How often should I have my trees trimmed in Charlotte?

Most trees in Charlotte benefit from trimming every 2-3 years. Fast-growing species or trees near structures may need attention more often. Our blog post on <a href='/blog/best-time-to-trim-trees-charlotte-nc'>the best time to trim trees in Charlotte</a> covers timing by species. We'll also give you a recommendation based on your specific trees.

Is there a bad time of year to trim trees?

It depends on the species. Most deciduous trees are best trimmed during winter dormancy. However, deadwood and hazardous limbs can be removed any time of year. We'll advise you on the best timing for your trees.

Will trimming hurt my tree?

Not when it's done correctly. Proper pruning actually improves tree health by removing dead, diseased, or crossing branches. We never top trees or remove more than necessary — that's the kind of work that causes long-term damage.

Can you trim trees near power lines in Charlotte?

We can trim branches approaching power lines, but lines that run directly through the canopy are typically handled by Duke Energy. We'll let you know if your situation requires coordination with the utility company.
