Pruning that actually helps a Kent tree
Pruning a Kent silver maple is not about making it look tidy — it is about reducing end weight on long horizontal limbs that are getting close to the roof. We do crown reduction, clearance cuts away from wires, and structural pruning on younger trees that still have time to be shaped. Cosmetic topping is not something we do, and we will tell you why if a neighbor offered it.
“In Kent I see a lot of trees that were topped years ago and now have weak regrowth waiting to fail. We prune to ISA standards because the tree has to live with the cut for thirty years.”
— Tyler Griffith, ISA Certified Arborist

Common questions
Trimming & Pruning FAQs for Kent
Have a question not answered below? Call Tyler at (330) 221-1617.
When is the best time to prune trees in Kent?
Dormant season (November through February) is ideal for most species. We prune year-round when clearance, safety, or health requires it.
What's the difference between trimming and pruning in Kent?
Trimming is cosmetic — shaping for appearance. Pruning is structural — removing specific branches for health, clearance, or risk reduction. TG-TreeCare does both, with all cuts made to ISA standards.
Can you prune large trees near power lines in Kent?
We handle clearance cuts near structures and utility lines regularly. Tyler assesses the situation and determines the safest approach during the estimate.
