Keep the front yard and courtyard protected while the work is happening. Then leave it clean when it’s done. Tip Top Arborists handled the trimming and pruning with an organized crew, solid workmanship, and a clean finish. The team also set aside larger branches for firewood, exactly like the homeowner preferred. When it was over, Maryann called the service very professional and said the crew did an excellent job.

Our Solution

Step 1: Arborist evaluation first. We looked at the trees, listened to what Maryann cared about, and mapped out the pruning approach.
Step 2: Written scope and estimate up front, including how we’d handle debris and what to do with larger firewood-sized branches.
Step 3: Careful pruning and trimming with controlled branch handling. The crew kept the front yard and courtyard protected and the site orderly as the work moved along.
Step 4: Full cleanup once the cutting was done. Debris removed, surfaces cleared, and larger branches set aside for firewood. Then a quick walkthrough to confirm everything felt right.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Trimming is often shaping. Pruning is targeted cuts for structure and health. This job used both.

Absolutely. Debris gets managed as we go. Then we finish with a full cleanup. Want spotless? That’s the goal.
