Tree Trimming and Pruning in Freeburg, IL from OT Tree Service of Belleville.

At a glance

What's included in Tree Trimming and Pruning

Good pruning starts with knowing where to cut. Every cut is made at the right point on the branch so the tree can seal the wound naturally, instead of leaving stubs that invite decay or topping the tree in a way that causes weak regrowth. Canopy thinning removes selected interior branches to improve airflow and sunlight penetration, which helps reduce disease and lowers wind resistance during storms. Crown raising lifts low limbs off roofs, sidewalks, driveways and play areas. Deadwood removal takes out dead, dying and broken branches that could fall without warning. We also offer tree health support, including fertilization, nutritional support, diagnosis and pest management, plus specialized mangrove trimming and Certified Arborist consultations for trees that need a closer look. All trimming jobs end with full cleanup, so the branches leave with us.

Why Choose Us

Why choose us for Tree Trimming and Pruning?

Healthy, natural cuts

We prune to preserve each tree's structure and natural shape, never topping or leaving stubs that cause decay.

Safer in storms

Thinning and deadwood removal reduce wind load and the chance of limbs coming down on your home.

Better light and airflow

Opening the canopy helps lawns and gardens below and reduces conditions that favor disease.

Tidy finish

Every branch we cut is hauled away and the area is cleaned up before we leave.

What does Tree Trimming and Pruning cost?

Trimming and pruning cost depends on the number and size of trees, how much needs removing, access for equipment and whether climbing is needed. We provide a detailed estimate after evaluating the trees.

What Freeburg, IL customers say

I learned a lot about the trees. I was very glad to hear my big tree just needed some cables and treatment and was healthier than i thought. OT wants to save the trees and nit just cut down and remove them. Pleasant Clean up was good. Had some complications but will be seeing them in spring for tree treatments and some other work . Thanks. I feel the prices were reasonable and they weren't trying to gouge me!!!! Had 6 trimmed and one cut down.

Very fairly priced for tree work from what I’ve seen. They can safely handle hazardous work. Give them call if you have any questions. They also do a lot with tree disease health management.
