Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular pruning is the single best thing you can do to keep coastal trees strong before hurricane season. Proper thinning reduces wind load, removes dead limbs before they fall, and shapes canopies for long-term health — critical for the mature live oaks and pines throughout New Hanover County.
What's included
- Canopy thinning to reduce wind resistance
- Deadwood and hanging limb removal
- Structural pruning for young and mature trees
- Crown raising for clearance over roofs, driveways, and sidewalks
- Palm pruning and frond removal
- Pre-hurricane storm-prep pruning
Warning signs to watch for
- Dead or hanging limbs in the canopy
- Branches overhanging your roof or power lines
- Dense, unthinned canopies before hurricane season
- Rubbing or crossing branches causing wounds
- Sucker growth at the base or along the trunk
- Palm fronds that are fully brown and drooping
