Common Questions
Our certified arborists know how to identify early signs of distress in your trees, such as subtle changes in leaf color that may signal disease or flaking bark that may mean pests are burrowing into your favorite tree. By identifying these issues early, we can implement a wide array of corrective techniques to prevent minor issues from growing into major problems.
Yes, tree pruning and tree trimming are different, even though the terms are often used interchangeably. Pruning is a more targeted practice rooted in arboriculture and plant biology. It focuses on removing dead, diseased, or structurally weak limbs to improve the tree’s overall health, safety, and longevity. A tree trimming service, on the other hand, is designed to shape a tree, often without any consideration for the plant’s overall health. For this reason, we only provide professional pruning services.
No matter the size or complexity of the project, you can feel confident knowing that safety, accuracy, and environmental responsibility guide every step we take. We have access to a full fleet of cranes, bucket trucks, and specialized equipment, and we follow the standards and best practices set by ANSI. Heartwood Tree Care is also the first TCIA-accredited tree service company in North Carolina, earning that designation in 2005 along with the National Award for Safety Program.
