Tree Trimming & Pruning

Professional Pruning for Health, Safety, and Beauty.

Proper pruning is both an art and a science. Our certified arborists know how to enhance your trees' natural shape while promoting healthy growth and removing potential hazards, rather than just cutting back whatever's in the way.

Different tree species need pruning at different times of year. In North Texas heat, timing a cut wrong can stress a tree that's already fighting drought and alkaline soil. Our arborists build the pruning plan around your specific trees and the season, not a fixed schedule.

About

How Holcomb Does Tree Trimming & Pruning Right

  1. A hand resting against the deeply furrowed bark of a mature trunk, dappled canopy light behind it.

    Step 01

    Assessment by a certified arborist

    One of our certified arborists evaluates your tree's condition and recommends the pruning approach and timing that fits it: health pruning, safety pruning, or aesthetic shaping, depending on what the tree needs.

  2. A pole pruner closing on a slender branch high inside a leafy canopy, against a bright overcast sky.

    Step 02

    Targeted, science-based pruning

    Our crew executes the plan using the technique that fits the goal: health pruning to remove dead or diseased wood, safety pruning to clear structures and power lines, aesthetic pruning to shape the tree, or crown reduction and thinning to manage size and light penetration.

  3. Two Holcomb crew members in climbing helmets, seen from behind on a front lawn, both pointing up into the canopy of a large oak as they plan the cut, cut brush on the driveway and the chipper parked at the kerb.

    Step 03

    Safety-first execution

    Every job follows OSHA guidelines and ANSI standards. Our team trains weekly on safety and technique, and we're fully licensed and insured.

Why prune

Proactive Pruning Protects the Tree, and Everything Under It.

"A weak limb over a driveway doesn't announce itself until a storm brings it down."

  1. 01 · The cost case

    Skipping regular pruning lets small problems become expensive ones. Routine pruning removes weak and overextended limbs before they become a hazard, or an emergency call.

  2. 02 · The health case

    Removing dead or diseased wood improves air circulation and lets light reach inner branches, which keeps mature trees thriving longer, including the live oaks and Texas redbuds common in Dallas yards.

"Holcomb Tree Service did an amazing job trimming our 60 year old Live Oak trees! They successfully trimmed the branches without butchering the tree."

  • "I have used Holcomb Tree Service for tree fertilization and tree trimming for over 30 years. I, unfortunately, used another company 25 years ago to trim a tree and, sure enough, it looked like a stalk of broccoli when they were finished. Ever since that one detour, I only use HTS knowing they will do an excellent job every time they step onto our property. Great guys, prompt, knowledgeable!"
