Tree Trimming To Shape and Preserve
Tip Top Arborists tree trimming will help ensure your California trees will live long, healthy and safe in Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Victor Valley and Tehachapi Valley.
Trimming large trees is dangerous work which is why we recommend tree trimming be done by one of our technicians. They are ISA trained to use proper pruning techniques, from thinning to reductions, on trees of any shape and size.
Proper tree care is an investment in the life and beauty of your trees. Well-cared-for trimmed trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Trimming can also help eliminate an unnecessary tree removal, reduce significant danger and substantial liability.
If you’re thinking about hiring a professional tree trimming company, please call our ISA certified arborists at (661) 942-5501.
Why is tree trimming necessary?
There are many reasons why homeowners need to trim their trees. Sometimes it’s to resolve a tree dispute but more often it’s for these reasons:
- Training young trees to grow in a certain direction
- Thinning the crown to increase airflow
- Improving the shape or silhouette of the tree to lower wind resistance and reduce the potential for storm damage
- Clearing a house to eliminate roof damage or rodent access
Where do you trim trees?
We are licensed and insured to trim trees in these Southern California areas:
- Antelope Valley: Lancaster, Palmdale and surrounding cities
- Santa Clarita Valley: Santa Clarita and nearby communities
- Victor Valley: Victorville, Hesperia and surrounding communities
- Tehachapi Valley: Tehachapi and nearby towns
How will I know when to trim my tree?
One of our arborists can help decide whether or not a tree should be trimmed. They have the proper equipment and knowledge to safely trim tree branches in any of these scenarios:
- Tree branches are rubbing against each other.
- Tree branches are interfering with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows, or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
- Tree branches are exhibiting symptoms of disease and insect infections.
- Tree branches are damaged, dead, weak or decaying.
What is the cost to trim a tree?
The cost of trimming a tree is based on factors such as location (do we have to climb it, or is it accessible to a bucket truck), the type of trimming to be performed, size and structures/targets under and around the tree.
Will you top my trees?
The simple answer is NO. Topping a tree is an injurious procedure to any tree, and it can lead to severe health and growth issues in the immediate and long term future. A tree should only be reduced using approved ISA/TCIA procedures.

Jose and his team arrived right on time and did a fantastic job trimming two large ash trees and a myrtle tree. They were simply amazing -- so thorough and professional. And, when they left, the back and front yards were definitely cleaner.
