✦TREE TRIMMING & PRUNING GUIDE
Explain The Clearance You Actually Need
Show which limbs concern you and what they hang over. A roof, driveway or walkway calls for a different conversation than simply wanting more light. Describe storm damage separately from normal pruning and mention any branch that looks cracked or hung up.
Identify The Branches
Photograph limbs that hang over a roof, driveway or walkway. Note any broken branch separately from normal growth that you simply want trimmed back.
Explain The Goal
Tell the team whether you need clearance, want to address damaged limbs or want to open the canopy. A clear goal makes the scope easier to discuss.
Review The Surroundings
Point out what is underneath the work area, where equipment can reach and whether cleanup or haul away should be included.
Describe damaged branches separately from routine pruning so the team can understand the concern.
