How Much Does it Cost to Trim a Tree in Peabody?

Tree trimming in Peabody is normally confused by many with pruning. Though the two processes may essentially be the same in some aspects, they have different purposes. Pruning is basically done to protect the trees or the shrubs. It is a selective procedure of removing damaged or dead parts of the tree or shrub. On the other hand, Peabody tree trimming is done to ensure that shrubs and hedges will grow perfectly. Trimming can also help heighten the physical appearance of a tree and may improve flower and fruit production. It is important that the trimming should be made to trees that are near powerlines. Homeowners usually hire Peabody tree trimming contractors to do this task for them.

Peabody County Tree Trimming FAQ

Before proceeding with trimming the tree, the contractor will have to make a thorough inspection of the area and trees. He will need to analyze which trees may cause further concern and they will inform you of the work that needs to be done. After that, the contracted needs to go into every home within the area that may possibly get affected and notify them of the details. If in any case the property owner is not around when the tree trimming contractor arrives, they will need to leave a message stating a contact number to be called for questions.

The primary aim of tree trimming is to achieve a 2 or 3-year clearance. There are trees that are located near power lines and contractors need to take into consideration how fast those trees grow. A silver maple tree for example that is 6 feet from a power line, growing 2 feet a year would probably be touching the line after 3 years. It is practical then to trim the tree at a minimum of 6 feet. It is very vital for trees to get properly trimmed according to the next lateral limb and not stubbed or this will cause a lot of potential hazard in the future.

No. Especially if the tree is near or touching a power line. One wrong cut of a limb may result in a deadly accident. Jobs like this should best be left to the professionals that have years of experience in handling these difficult situations.

Tree Removal

I have a new home where the builder only cleared out part of the back yard and left the rest as a natural area. I would like to see about having the rest of it cleared, removed, and graded. It is a small job probably only about 1/10 of an acre and could easily be done in one day or less. I just need to see if you do work like this and get a rough estimate of what it would cost. Email is the best way to contact me. Thanks.
