Tree Trimming in Durham Region
Branches on the roof, a driveway you can't back out of, or a canopy blocking every window on one side of the house. Tell us what needs cutting back and we'll help connect you with a local tree professional.
Clearance work that prevents bigger problems
Most trimming requests in Durham are about clearance: branches rubbing shingles, overhanging a driveway, filling eavestroughs, or growing toward the overhead service drop into the house. Getting that clearance back before winter is the cheapest tree work you will ever pay for, because it is what stops an ice load from putting a limb through the roof.
Limbs touching the wires that run from the pole to your house are a grey area — the service drop is often the homeowner's responsibility while the pole-to-pole lines are the utility's. A local professional will know where that line sits in your municipality.
Timing
Light clearance can be done year-round. Late winter, while trees are dormant, is generally the best time for larger cuts on deciduous trees, and there are seasonal restrictions to be aware of around active bird nesting in spring and early summer.
