ISA Certified Arborists
Every job, every visit. The arborist who assesses your property is the same one overseeing the work.
Your Trees Are Worth Protecting. Prune Them Right.
ISA Certified Arborists offering Year-round pruning in Macomb County, Oakland County, and Metro Detroit.
Pruning done wrong does not just look bad. It leaves wounds that invite disease, alters how the canopy carries structural load, and creates problems that show up seasons later. Most homeowners never connect the damage back to the cut that caused it.
Branch Tree arborists have spent careers learning how trees grow and respond. They know when each species is best pruned, how deep to cut, and what the tree needs to close the wound and move forward healthy.

Pruning Services
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Structural pruning that removes dead, damaged, and crossing branches, opens the canopy for light and airflow, and sets the tree up for long-term health. The work is guided by how the tree grows, not just how it looks today.
Shrub Trimming and Shaping
Regular pruning keeps shrubs growing with intention and your landscape looking considered. We remove diseased and unproductive growth and shape around both the plant’s health requirements and your design goals.
Dormant Pruning
Winter is the right time for significant structural work on most trees and shrubs. The full branch architecture is visible. The tree is not in active growth and handles major cuts with less stress. Disease and insects that use fresh wounds as entry points are largely inactive.
Crown Thinning and Reduction
Dense crowns increase wind load and put structural stress on branch unions. Thinning improves airflow and light distribution through the canopy. Reduction brings scale back to a large tree without compromising its form or long-term health.
Tree Root Surgery and Soil Compaction Treatment
Underground decline is easy to miss and expensive to ignore. Compacted soil, girdling roots, and grade changes around a tree can cause dieback that appears years after the original damage. We assess root zones and treat problems that only show up when you know where to look.
Construction Site Tree Preservation
Construction damage to trees is often not visible until two or three seasons later. Soil compaction and root zone intrusion from grading and foundation work can kill a tree quietly over time. If you are building or renovating on a property with significant trees, the conversation with an arborist should happen before the equipment arrives.
Cabling and Bracing
A structurally compromised tree is not automatically a tree that needs to come down. Properly installed cabling and bracing systems can safely extend the life of a tree that represents decades of growth and real value. Branch Tree assesses every situation individually and gives you an honest recommendation.

Why Branch Tree
Biology First, Aesthetics Second
Branch Tree arborists make cuts based on how the tree will respond, not just how it will look. The two outcomes are not always the same, and knowing the difference is the job.
Four Decades on These Properties
Branch Tree has been pruning trees on Macomb and Oakland County estates since 1983. Some of the trees pruned in those early years are still standing.
Winter Crews. Year-Round Work.
Dormant season pruning is not a side service. Branch Tree maintains dedicated crews through the winter because significant structural work belongs in the dormant season.
