Tree Trimming Altoona & Johnstown

Tree Trimming Service Near Me

Taking care of the trees around your landscape is one way to have your property looking beautiful, and safe.  Keeping the trees properly trimmed and pruned is one way to ensure the tree you planted a few years ago will live on for decades to come. By removing branches that aren’t growing in ideal way, we are able to keep the tree growing in a healthy way that promotes long-life.  Often times, natural trees will be okay with minimum tree care, but landscape trees especially need special attention to keep them looking beautiful and healthy. 

Whether you are more of DIY’er and can get the job done yourself with a pair of shears, or prefer to have the professional arborists at Altoona Tree Service help you out, trimming/pruning is necessary for all trees. Sometimes you can get by with a yearly, or twice-a-year trim treatment, but often times here in Blair County we find trees need a bit more attention due to the storms we get every year.  For the jobs you don’t feel up to tackling yourself, call us to help you out.

Top reasons for tree trimming in Blair County: 

  • To control the shape and look of the tree.  Simply removing or shortening a handful of branches can make your overgrown looking tree look like a perfectly manicured tree that adds beauty and value to your property. We can also allow more light to shine through the tree if you would like. 

  • Seasonal Care: Generally, we trim trees in winter to allow more vigorous growing when the spring comes. On the other hand, if we prune your trees in spring or summer, we can slow down the growth of the tree. 

  • Preventative Care:  We can look at the individual limbs and branches and tell if they need removed for a variety of reasons: sometimes they are dead and decaying, or they may be afflicted by a fungus or other disease that affects trees.  In other cases, the limb(s) may be damaged after a storm and you need to have a local tree pruning service make the tree healthy again.

How much does Tree Trimming Cost in Altoona & Johnstown?

It depends mainly on how much trimming and pruning there is to do, as well as the size of the tree of course.  Generally, the cost to have a limb removed will range from $50-$80 dollars.  This depends on the size of the limb and also the size of the tree.

The Different Types of Trimming Service

Crown Lifting:  We perform crown-lifting on trees that have low hanging branches, such as trees that close to biking/hiking paths that you have duck under branches to pass through. On a larger scale, trees adjacent to roads will need crown lifting to make sure high vehicles do not destroy branches and leave debris in the road.  

Crown Thinning: Crown-thinning is performed by the professionals at Altoona Tree Service to thin out the branches, without changing the general shape of the tree. This is done to help air flow through the free, making it healthier. We also do this to help light penetrate for properties that are  quite shady. Thinning is much like getting your hair thinned at the salon/barber. The length and shape of your hair doesn’t change, but it will feel thinner and lighter when you are done. 
​
Crown Reduction: We perform crown reduction when a tree has simply grown too much for its own area. This involves trimming the outer branches and edges of the tree to bring it back into a manageable size that does not interfere with other trees or structures around your property.
