Why Proper Pruning Matters
Tree trimming isn't just about making your property look tidy—it’s a critical health intervention for your trees. Improper pruning can permanently damage a tree's structure and expose it to fatal diseases like Oak Wilt.
At Timber Love & Care, our arborists approach every canopy with a scientific mindset. We focus on removing deadwood, alleviating heavy over-extended branches, and ensuring proper clearance over your roof and driveway without stressing the tree.
Our Trimming Services Include:
-
Canopy Elevation Lifting low-hanging branches to provide clearance for vehicles, pedestrians, and proper lawn sunlight.
-
Structural Weight Reduction Selectively thinning heavy end-weight on major limbs to prevent sudden "summer branch snaps" or storm failures.
-
Roof & Structure Clearance Creating a safe buffer zone between your trees and your home to prevent roof damage and deter pests.
-
Deadwooding & Sanitation Removing dead or diseased limbs to stop decay from spreading into the main trunk.
Vista Pruning
Many Hill Country properties have overgrown canopies blocking beautiful river or lake views. We use scientific thinning and selective pruning to restore your sightlines without compromising the tree's health or your property's natural shade.
The TLC Difference
We never use climbing spikes on healthy trees we are pruning. Spikes create open wounds that invite pests and disease. We use professional rope-and-saddle climbing techniques or aerial lifts to ensure zero damage to your tree's trunk.
Oak Wilt Prevention Protocol
When pruning Live Oaks and Red Oaks in New Braunfels and Comal County, we strictly adhere to state Oak Wilt protocols. We sanitize all our cutting tools between every single tree and immediately paint all fresh wounds to block the beetles that spread the fungus.
