Cedar Tree Pruning

What This Service Involves

Cedars and arborvitae are widely used for screening and specimen trees in the Pacific Northwest, and they need careful pruning since they do not regenerate from bare old wood. We remove deadwood and damaged limbs, clear hazards, and shape within the green growth to maintain density and form. For screens, we keep growth full and even; for specimens, we preserve the natural shape. Conservative, well-placed cuts keep cedars healthy and green without the permanent bare patches that hard cutting causes.
