DIY Tree Trimming
Many homeowners decide on doing their trimming. However, this can be time-consuming and may require much effort from a typical property owner. Aside from that, it can also be too risky, especially if you don't have the right tools and enough skills to complete the job at hand. Professional tree services are more expensive because they own state of the art equipment and they have spent years learning the art and science of tree trimming. For this reason, if you are not confident you can do the job safely and successfully, it is best to let the pros handle it. If you wish to do it yourself, just make sure you have the correct equipment handy.

Some cities have centers where homeowners can rent tree trimmers. You can buy a standard hand-held pruner at around $40 to $50. If you purchase a gas pole pruner, prepare to pay at least $180. Hand-held loppers and pruners can only do so much and are more useful on small branches. It is highly suggested that you hire a professional tree service company for larger trees to ensure your safety.
 
Professional Tree Pruning
There is a reason why professional tree trimmers exist. It is because they know the ins and outs of trimming, and they can ensure the health and appearance of your tree is in top shape. Further, they can handle difficult situations, such as trimming a tree near power lines.  Your next concern must be "how much does their service cost? If you ask them this, you may not get a clear answer because they have to consider a variety of things before they can tell you exactly how much. Get as many estimates from several tree companies as possible so that you could make the best decision about the future of your tree. Don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you can think of to give you peace of mind that you're dealing with a reputable tree service company.
 
Tree Size Affects the Cost of Pruning
One of the many variables that affect the cost of pruning is the tree size. It is expected that a larger tree costs more than a smaller one. Bigger trees have more branches; thus, it will require more effort and time to prune them. Below is a rough estimate of the price for professional tree trimming:

• 30 feet and smaller- Russian olive trees and other types of trees that go as high as 30 feet cost between $75 and $450.
• 30 feet to 60 feet- You can expect to be billed between $150 and $875 if you have a tree that grows as high as 60 feet, such as crab apple trees.
• 60 feet and beyond- Trees that grow exceptionally tall are pretty much costly to trim. Prepare to pay between $200 and $1,000. Some examples of these trees are pine trees and red oak.

 
Extra Costs
You may need to pay extra for some services not included in tree trimming cost. This may consist of, emergency tree trimming and pruning, which may be around $250 per hour. Getting rid of broken and dead limbs from a large tree may cost you $1,000. If the contractors have to climb up the tree, this can further drive the cost up to $1,500.

Some factors that affect the cost of professional tree trimming are the following:

• Location of the tree
• Accessibility of the tree
• The present condition of the tree
• Travel expenses in case you live in a remote area

Yes, it costs some money to have a tree trimmed, but it is all worth it when you see the benefits it does, not just for aesthetic purposes, but for your safety as well.

Trees are living organisms and prone to diseases. While some of them are obvious,, others can be hidden from common observation (decaying starts from the inside of the tree) and only an expert can diagnose.  If left untreated, they can result in a costly tree removal.

3.Pest infestations
 Trees are natural habitat for all kinds of life to include pests. Some of these pests can be invasive and have the potential to reproduce uncontrollably (hemipteran, clearwing and flat headed borers). When infested trees are near located close to a property, they can invade and cause serious damage to structure. An expert can identify the problem and recommend pest control measures in time.

4.Trees with high maintenance costs
All flora requires attention and maintenance. However, certain species of trees need much more maintenance and care than others. A particular example is of peach tree that requires regular disease management and comprehensive annual pruning for healthy appearance. Only an expert can advise you on such intricate matters.

5.Trees in danger of falling
Falling trees can cause serious damage to any property and certain types of trees are much more prone to damage caused by windstorms or uprooting due to floods. An expert can detect such trees.
