Professional tree trimming & pruning
Trimming and pruning that protect the tree and the house
Overgrown limbs damage roofs, block light, and come down in the next storm. Trimming is about clearance and shape; pruning is about the health and structure of the tree. GMX does both — cutting at the branch collar so the wound closes properly, taking out what is dead or crossing, and clearing what threatens the house and the lines.
- Branches trimmed back off roofs, gutters, and driveways
- Dead, broken, and crossing limbs pruned out
- Canopy thinning for light and airflow
- Cuts made at the branch collar so the wound closes
- Shrubs, hedges, and ornamental trees shaped
- Limbs near utility lines handled safely
When to call GMX
When a tree needs trimming
Branches touching the house
Limbs resting on siding, shingles, or gutters trap moisture and give insects a bridge indoors.
Dead wood in the canopy
Dead limbs come down without warning. Taking them out early costs far less than the damage they cause.
Limbs near the wires
Branches growing into service lines are an outage and fire risk, and need climbers with the right gear.

Tree Trimming & Pruning — Common Questions
How much does tree trimming cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the tree, how many there are, how much has to come off, and how hard it is to reach. GMX provides a free estimate based on the specific property and job.
Do you trim branches near power lines?
Yes, on the property side of the service line, with climbers and insulated tools. Work on the utility-owned lines themselves has to go through the power company, and we will tell you which is which.
What happens to the branches?
We chip the brush and haul it away, then rake the yard and blow the driveway and walkways clean before we leave.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Estimates are free and come with no obligation.
What is the difference between trimming and pruning?
In practice people use both words for the same visit. Trimming usually means shaping the canopy and clearing branches away from a roof, driveway or wires. Pruning is more selective: removing dead, damaged or crossing limbs so the tree grows better. Most jobs involve a bit of both.
When is the best time of year to trim?
For most hardwoods, late winter into early spring is ideal — the structure is visible and the tree heals quickly. That said, broken, dead or hazardous limbs should come off whenever you notice them, in any season.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Young trees benefit from light shaping every couple of years. Mature trees usually need attention every three to five years, sooner if they overhang the roof or a driveway.
Will trimming hurt the tree?
Not when it is done correctly and in moderation. Damage comes from removing too much at once or from topping, which we do not do. We cut back to proper points so the wounds close properly.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Yes. Branches and debris are removed and the area is raked before we leave.
