Tree/Shrub Trimming & Pruning Services
Professional Tree Cutting & Trimming in Union City, NJ
Tree trimming, at the same time, is an art and science requiring knowledge of the biology and growth patterns of trees along with the structural dynamics of the trees. The professional staff at Union City Tree Experts have received extensive training in making cuts on trees with precision. Our professionally trained staff will give you top-notch trimming and cutting services to increase the health, safety, and aesthetics of your landscape and help encourage healthy growth for many years to come.
A regularly pruned tree is a great asset to your property. A tree properly trimmed by a professional arborist is much less likely to be damaged by storms, has a lower susceptibility to pests and diseases, and can live many years longer than one that is not regularly pruned. Not only does a well-shaped tree add value to your property, but it also adds curb appeal. On the other hand, poorly pruned trees may cause permanent damage to their structure and health. This is why our certified arborists are so important. They know exactly where, when, and how to prune each species to produce the best possible results.
Our crew of experienced professionals offers premium service customized to meet your needs, whether it is routine maintenance and corrective pruning of overgrown trees or the removal of branches damaged during a storm. We also specialize in vista pruning to improve views and expert fruit tree care. We do not simply trim your trees—we train and shape them to grow naturally and in line with your vision of your landscaping.

Expert Tree Trimming Services
We have developed a full-service pruning program designed to satisfy the individual physiological and aesthetic requirements of each of your trees, as well as the objectives of your landscape. Our technicians will use the latest technology to provide you with long-lasting health and safety through all of their pruning activities.
Crown Cleaning: The first part of our annual maintenance program is the removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches from the entire canopy of the tree. Crown cleaning removes potential hazards created by weak or broken branches, stops the disease process, and provides an instant improvement in the visual appeal of the tree. Typically, we would recommend this type of service to be performed every three to five years, depending upon the size and age of the tree.
Crown Thinning: By thinning specific branches (not changing the shape of the tree), we will allow more sunlight to reach the ground and increase air circulation within the tree canopy. In addition, it will decrease the wind resistance of the tree. This type of pruning also helps relieve the weight load on the larger limbs, especially those trees such as maple, which tend to develop a very dense and heavy canopy.
Crown Raising: By carefully removing lower branches, we will provide necessary clearance for people walking, cars driving, and structures located under the tree. It will also provide better access to lawn mowing equipment and usable space directly below the tree. Younger trees should be raised gradually so that they do not become too top-heavy and lose a significant portion of their leafy canopy.
Crown Reduction: If a tree has grown beyond the area where it was originally planted, we can reduce the overall height and spread of the tree through specialized pruning techniques that will preserve the natural shape of the tree. Unlike “tipping” (removing the tops of trees), our certified arborists will make precise cuts to lateral branches that will still support continued growth. This method of pruning is a highly skilled technique that requires experience and training to ensure the tree continues to grow and thrive.
Structural Pruning: Structural pruning is an investment in the stability of young trees. Establishing a single dominant trunk (leader) and proper spacing between the lateral branches will help to avoid costly structural failure at some point in the future when the tree reaches its maximum height. Regular structural pruning will minimize the need for expensive correctional pruning or removals as the tree grows older.
Deadwood Removal: Not only does dead wood look unattractive, but it is also an entrance point for pests and pathogens. Removing deadwood will reduce the risk of fallen debris and keep the tree’s immune system functioning properly. Deadwood removal is something that we recommend as a regular maintenance activity on mature trees, especially those that are larger than 1 inch in diameter, between regular pruning cycles.
Professional Tree Trimming
Health Trimming
We conduct our health-based trimming of your trees by removing dead/diseased/compromised branches that are negatively affecting the overall health of your trees. In doing so, we can find & remove problem areas prior to the potential for them to further develop, thus protecting all aspects of your outdoor space. The benefits of regular health-based pruning include reducing the risk of pest infestation and/or disease from spreading & promoting healthy growth in your trees.
Aesthetic Trimming
Aesthetic (shape/form) is a priority when we provide trimming services for your trees. We know how each type of tree grows naturally & we will tailor our trimming techniques to help enhance its natural characteristics. Aesthetic trimming allows us to maintain the unique shape & size of each tree, while also keeping it within the boundaries of your landscape plan.
Safety Trimming
Safety trimming is an additional service that we offer in order to reduce risks associated with hazardous limbs. We identify and prune branches that may be hanging over structures, interfering with overhead utilities, obstructing sight lines for traffic, etc. Safety assessments ensure the protection of your investment in your home/outdoor space, as well as preserve the health of your trees.
Seasonal Considerations
Spring Preparation
In the early spring, we remove winter damage from your trees to allow them to grow for the year ahead. Removing damaged branches gives your tree a clean slate for new healthy growth. Our trimmers are careful when they trim your trees so as not to cause too much sap loss, but also enough to promote the tree’s healing ability. This allows your trees to have a strong growing season.
Summer Maintenance
In summer, our focus is to trim and maintain the shape of your trees that were trimmed in the spring. While doing this, we are very careful about how much shade you want to retain as well as air circulation around your trees. With these two important factors in mind, we can help your trees do their best during the peak growing months.
Service Options
