We all love the look of a perfectly manicured landscape. Many of us invest big money to plant trees to improve the overall look of our yards. Sadly many of these same trees are often overlooked once they have been planted.

If a tree is pruned properly for the first 5 years after it is planted and then again every 3-5 years after it will often avoid many of the the problematic issues that would plague the tree for the rest of its life.

We have all witnessed a tree that has broken, or been diseased and wondered what could have been done to save it from an early demise. By spending a little time and money on your trees you can save yourself the heartache of cutting down a tree that has become a major part of your landscape. And let's face it tree care is far less expensive than tree removal.

I love trees and I know you probably do too.  I also love pruning trees, which is why I started Palmquist Landscaping.  I love to correct problem areas on a tree and train it to grow in a  healthy, strong, and beautiful form that will be a perfect fixture in it landscape for years to come.  

Let's work together to make our community a more beautiful place to live, one tree at a time. Your trees and neighbors will thank you.

Here's an example of a tree before and after pruning:
