Tree Trimming & Shaping

Tree trimming services are the backbone of a successful tree healthcare program. This important maintenance helps to sustain your tree’s health, stimulate growth, and so it retains its natural appearance. Trimming a tree properly is very important. If you trim your trees yourself, you could end up damaging the tree. Let the experts at Hufnagel Tree Service help your trees flourish through the seasons by providing regular tree trimming maintenance. Our affordable tree trimming service makes it easy to care for your trees and bring out the beauty around your home and property.

Proper tree trimming involves a thorough understanding of tree biology so you may skillfully eliminate or minimize any defects without hindering the tree’s growth or development. Our long history of hands-on experience allows us to masterfully trim your trees to perfection by removing proper deadwood. There are valuable benefits of professional tree trimming and pruning by ISA certified arborists.

Our arborists understand how to perform a professional tree trim that provides valuable benefits to the trees including:

  • A healthier tree with extended lifespan
  • Fewer unhealthy and dangerous limbs
  • More sunlight producing a lush undergrowth
  • Increased resistance to tree pests and diseases
  • Increased strength to defend against storms and high winds

Highly recommend and will contact him again for future needs.Clarence NeumannClarence Neumann ★★★★★ This is at least the third time I have used Hufnagel Tree Services , and each time I have enjoyed excellent , knowledgeable and honest expertise at a reasonable cost . To see Mike's crew in action is like watching a well-oiled machine do it's various jobs , from bucket to pruning forks, from truck movement to chipping and total clean-up , with "ringmaster/maestro" Mike on top of every step in the operation . I love seeing the respect his men show him as well . One time I called him to trim an ash tree of dead branches , but he said that he would not touch it since his trained eye saw that it needed life-saving intervention first , not wanting me to waste my money ! That was impressive ! My best interests were in his best interest ! He even told me of a tree treatment specialist who I then employed , at a most reasonable fee , and over the course of the next two years the green ash bugs were gone and the tree is thriving ! Mike Hufnagel Tree Service has my highest recommendation for top quality work by well-trained and careful workers , all at a reasonable fee.

Mike was prompt in replying and outlining what work would be done. His team did a great job. Polite and professional. Highly recommend.Cheryl AnneCheryl Anne ★★★★★ We highly recommend Hufnagel Tree Service! We contacted Mike after our neighbor’s Oak tree dropped a branch on our roof. The tree is sentimental for our neighbor because her husband planted it 56 years ago from an acorn but, it had grown to the point where it made our yard unsafe. We needed someone to remove some of the branches to protect our property while still preserving the health of the tree that our neighbor loves so much. Mike is a certified arborist so we knew we could trust him with this task. He and his whole crew not only did a fantastic job trimming the tree but they also rescued a nest of baby squirrel’s and safely returned them to their habitat. When the job was complete they left our property pristine.Sarah CannonSarah Cannon ★★★★★ Had a great first experience with Mike and his crew! Very responsive and quick turn around time.

They have taken down large trees, and pruned existing ones. They take pride in their work and are most personable and professional. Mike is spot on and very responsive to calls, requests, etc. He and his workers are prompt and reliable. He removes all debris when the job is completed.

I wouldn’t consider using anyone else.frank zaborneyfrank zaborney ★★★★★ Hufnagel Tree Service is top notch !! I had a 40 ft pine that was leaning towards power lines and starting to uproot because of saturated ground. Called Mike at 1am he returned my call by 6 and estimated the job by seven. By 10am it was no longer a concern or a worry about damaging my house or power lines !! Awesome courteous service, and price was great for what I consider emergency service !! Clean up was also exquisite right down to cleaning up the sidewalk 👍Michael SubikMichael Subik ★★★★★ I cannot say enough about the responsiveness, the work product, or the value.

They cleaned up before they left, leaving the yard looking better than when they arrived.John KlenkJohn Klenk ★★★★★ I needed work done on some trees for a property I was managing. I was visiting, unfamiliar with the area, and was shopping blind on a Saturday while calling tree contractors with reasonably good reviews.So I was not surprised to find myself leaving messages on voicemail and with messaging services. But I was surprised to get a return call from Mike Hufnagel while I was still reaching out to other tree service companies. And, I was even more surprised when he said he could drop by in a few minutes to take a look at my project.Personable and professional Mike gave me an estimate that was in line with tree work I’ve had done on other properties. He said about two weeks before he could get to the job, which was fine, but would he send me pictures of the finished job because I was leaving town in a few days. No problem, he said, and we shook hands on the deal.Imagine my further surprise - delight really - when on Monday, the day after we agreed to terms, Mike shows up with his crew to say he had an opening in his schedule. Gotta love working with the owner of the company, and who hustles.Mike and his crew made quick and thorough work of the job, took all the trimmings with them and cleaned the site as if they had never been there.One last item: Safety. Mike clearly respects the inherent dangers of his profession. He and his men come outfitted with every manner of protection for themselves, capping my impression of a company, and an owner, that can be trusted.It’s not likely that I’ll be calling anyone else for tree service in the future.Harrison ScennaHarrison Scenna ★★★★★ Mike and his team were excellent! I had a large fallen tree branch in my yard. His team was quick with the removal and did a great job cleaning up.
