To keep your trees healthy, safe, and looking their best, it’s important to have them trimmed or pruned regularly. But you can’t simply contact the first tree-care company you see or select one based on price alone, as improper pruning techniques can harm your trees and present real safety risks.
Fortunately for homeowners and commercial property managers in the Atwood, Illinois area, it’s easy to get the expert tree trimming and pruning help you need: Simply contact Trimmed Up Trees — Central Illinois’ trusted tree-trimming team.

Different trees, properties, and customers have different trimming and pruning needs, so our team provides an array of services designed to provide the kinds of high-quality results you deserve. And while we can handle any tree trimming or pruning project, some of the most popular services we offer include:
Our access and clearance trimming services are ideal for eliminating branches and foliage that encroach into areas like sidewalks, driveways, and other areas. This kind of trimming work will generally need to be performed every few years to ensure continued access to these areas.
Crown reductions are an advanced pruning technique designed to safely reduce the height and spread of a tree via the selective removal of key branches within the canopy. This helps to protect the tree’s health and structure, and is preferable to tree “topping” and similar approaches.
If you need more access beneath a tree’s lower branches, crown raising may be the ideal solution. By carefully removing branches from the lower portions of a tree’s crown, our arborists can restore access and open sightlines, without harming the tree or compromising its structure.
A good option for trees in windy areas, crown thinning involves the selective removal of branches within a tree’s crown, with the intent of improving airflow through the canopy. This technique can also be useful for trees that suffer from fungal foliar diseases caused by perpetually damp conditions.
Crown cleaning involves the removal of dead, dying, decayed, diseased, or damaged limbs in a tree’s canopy. This helps to slow the spread of pests or pathogens, improve the tree’s aesthetics, and mitigate some of the risks it presents. Most trees should be “cleaned” in this manner once every three to five years.
Structural pruning is a technique employed on young trees, often in the first few years following installation. Designed to encourage proper form and sound tree structure, structural pruning can help prevent dangerous conditions, which will help you avoid complicated and costly pruning work later on.
It’s important to have hazardous branches removed immediately to protect people and property in the area. Our team makes this easy, as they can remove the dangerous branch quickly and help ensure that your tree doesn’t cause injuries or property damage.
Homeowners’ insurance companies are increasingly demanding that their customers have any branches growing over their roofline removed. We are happy to provide this kind of trimming service, while taking care to protect your roof, gutters, and siding in the process.
It’s always a good idea to form a partnership with a professional arborist and enroll in an ongoing tree pruning plan, which will typically involve pruning visits once every three to five years. However, it’s also important to familiarize yourself with some of the signs indicating you currently need your trees trimmed or pruned.
A few of the most noteworthy examples include:
With our access and clearance tree trimming services, we can quickly cut back your tree’s branches and restore complete site access.
While some power companies will trim branches for free, they’ll often do so quickly, without concern for the health of your trees.
Tree limbs should always be prevented from contacting structures, as they can damage the exterior and serve as access points for rodents.
It’s always critical to have potentially hazardous tree branches removed before they can cause injuries or property damage.
These kinds of branch attachment points are structurally weak and often cause damage when they eventually break and split away.
It’s usually wise to have long branches that extend well beyond the rest of the canopy pruned to reduce the weight on them.
Crown raising is a pruning technique that can open up sightlines and provide better views via the removal of a tree’s lower branches.
Having a tree’s crown thinned can encourage more airflow, which is helpful for treating foliar diseases caused by high humidity levels.
For safety’s sake, dead tree branches should always be removed whenever they are present above people or property.
Unfortunately, trees will bear the scars of improper trimming and pruning for the rest of their lives. These blemishes may eventually be obscured by new growth, but the damage will remain and present ongoing risks to the tree’s health. Even worse, poor pruning practices may damage the tree’s structure, which will increase the risks of dropped branches and complete failure.
