Professional Tree Trimming & Pruning in Chardon, OH
Proper pruning keeps trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. All Trees Considered provides expert trimming and pruning services throughout Geauga County and Lake County, using proper arboricultural techniques that promote long-term tree health.
Our Trimming & Pruning Services
Crown Cleaning
Remove dead, dying, and crossing branches to improve structure, airflow, and the overall health of the canopy. Crown cleaning reduces weight on overextended limbs and eliminates disease vectors.
Structural Pruning
Develop strong branch architecture in younger trees to prevent future problems. Proper structural pruning now means fewer emergency calls and less corrective work later.
Clearance Trimming
Create safe clearance from homes, roofs, driveways, power lines, and other structures. Wes's 14 years as a lineman means he understands safe working distances around utilities.
Health Restoration Pruning
Thin overcrowded canopies to improve light penetration and reduce disease pressure. Vista pruning — selective trimming to open up views while preserving tree health — is also available.
Why Proper Pruning Matters
Improper pruning—like topping or lion-tailing—causes long-term damage that weakens trees and creates hazards. Wes uses ANSI A300 pruning standards to make proper cuts that heal correctly and maintain structural integrity.
When to Trim Your Trees
Most deciduous trees benefit from pruning during dormancy (late fall through early spring). However, dead, damaged, or hazardous branches should be removed anytime. Wes can assess your trees and recommend the best timing for each species on your property.

What Customers Say
Real reviews from homeowners who hired All Trees Considered.
“Wes did a fantastic job on tree trimming. 2 man crew. Excellent job on clean-up. All branches and leaf debris are all cleaned up. Wes was responsive on the original quote and day of job. The office is also great. She always answered and followed up with direct text on questions. Also great price based on my other quotes. Highly recommend.”

“I had a difficult tree over the house with limited space. I was told by several other services that the tree would have to be climbed that lifts and cranes would not have access. I searched for a tree climbing service. One said the he could tell on google maps that he was not able to do it, a couple others just said no or went to the office to send estimate that never arrived. Two said to leave the tree as it is. Les came out to look and said “I’ll do it”. He actually seemed excited by the challenge and started talking about how he would do it. This was not a straight forward task. The team arrived, did what they said. The job was done and the area cleaned up. Very professional and no up charges.”

“Wes and his crew were great. They trimmed a large white pine and removed a nasty tangle of an overgrown Hawthorn tree. They were working at our neighbors when I asked them if they could help us out. They took time to fit us into their busy schedule.”

FAQ
Trimming & Pruning Questions
Common questions homeowners ask about trimming & pruning service.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years. Young trees may need structural pruning more frequently. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed as soon as they are noticed.
What is the difference between trimming and pruning?
Trimming generally refers to cutting back overgrowth for aesthetics or clearance. Pruning is more targeted — removing specific branches for health, structure, or safety reasons. We do both.
Can improper pruning kill a tree?
Yes. Topping, excessive thinning, and improper cut placement can severely damage or eventually kill trees. We follow industry standards (ANSI A300) to ensure cuts are made correctly.
Do you trim trees near power lines?
We can trim trees near utility lines, though certain clearance work may require coordination with the utility company. Wes has 14 years of lineman experience working around energized lines.
How much does tree trimming cost?
Trimming costs depend on tree size, number of trees, access, and scope of work. A single tree trim typically ranges from $200-800. We provide free estimates.
