Tree Trimming & Pruning in Utah
Health, shape, and clearance pruning that keeps your trees strong through wind season and heavy snow years.
What's Included in Our Trimming & Pruning
Regular trimming keeps Utah trees healthier, safer, and better looking. Our crew prunes for structure, clearance, and storm readiness — from valley shade trees to Park City aspens and pines.
Health Pruning
Dead, diseased, damaged, and crossing branches removed so the tree puts its energy into healthy growth.
Clearance Pruning
Limbs lifted and cut back away from roofs, driveways, sidewalks, and fences — before they scrape, shade out, or fall.
Storm-Ready Pruning
Thinning and balancing that reduces wind and snow load, lowering the odds of broken limbs in canyon winds and wet spring storms.
Shaping & Structure
Young trees shaped for strong structure as they grow, and mature trees kept to a natural, healthy form.

What Affects Your Free Estimate
Every tree and property is different — that is why our estimates are always free. These are the main factors that shape your exact price:
- Number and size of trees — More trees and bigger canopies mean more time in the tree.
- How overgrown they are — Years of neglected growth takes longer than routine maintenance trimming.
- Deadwood and hazard limbs — Removing dead, damaged, or storm-weakened limbs adds work but prevents bigger problems.
- What's underneath — Trimming over roofs, driveways, and landscaping requires slower, more careful cuts.
- Health needs — Disease, mistletoe, or pest damage may call for targeted pruning beyond a basic trim.
- Cleanup volume — Every job includes full cleanup — heavy trims just produce more brush to haul.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most — the same ones people ask Siri, Alexa, and Google.
How much does tree trimming cost?
Tree trimming is priced by the tree — its size, species, condition, and how much growth needs to come off — so Strong Roots Co. doesn't use flat rates. Estimates are always free. Call (801) 330-1444, and we'll visit your property in West Jordan, the Salt Lake Valley, or Park City and quote the exact price first.
When is the best time of year to trim trees in Utah?
For many Utah trees, late fall and winter are ideal because trees are dormant and their branch structure is easy to see. That said, dead, damaged, or hazardous limbs should come off right away, any season. Strong Roots Co. trims year-round across the Salt Lake Valley and Park City — call (801) 330-1444 to ask about your trees.
Will trimming my trees help them survive storms?
It helps. Removing dead wood, weak limbs, and overcrowded growth reduces the wind and snow load a tree carries, which lowers the chance of limbs breaking in canyon winds or heavy Utah snowstorms. Strong Roots Co. prunes for structure and balance with every trim. Call (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate before storm season.
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
Most shade and ornamental trees do well with a trim every few years, while fast growers and fruit trees may need attention more often. The right timing depends on the species, age, and health of each tree. During a free estimate, Strong Roots Co. can look at your trees and recommend a schedule. Call (801) 330-1444.
Do you trim trees in Park City?
Yes. Strong Roots Co. trims and prunes trees in Park City and Summit County, including aspen care, pine pruning, and defensible-space thinning around mountain homes. We're based in West Jordan and also serve the Salt Lake Valley and Utah, Davis, and Weber counties. Estimates are free — call (801) 330-1444 to book yours.
Can you trim trees away from my roof and gutters?
Yes — that's one of the most common trimming requests we get. Branches rubbing on shingles damage roofs and clog gutters, so we cut limbs back to a safe clearance. Call or text (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate.
Do you shape trees, or only remove dead branches?
Both. We remove dead, damaged, and crossing branches for tree health, and we can shape the canopy for a cleaner look — just tell us the result you're after during the free estimate. Call (801) 330-1444 and we'll walk the property with you.
Can you thin a tree that's blocking my sunlight or view?
Yes. Selective thinning opens up the canopy to let light through while keeping the tree healthy and natural-looking — we never just top a tree. This is especially popular on Salt Lake Valley lots where one big tree shades the whole yard. Call (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate.
Do you trim evergreen and pine trees?
Yes — we trim pines, spruces, firs, and junipers as well as deciduous trees. Evergreens need a lighter touch and the right timing so they fill back in properly. Call (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate.
Is summer a bad time to trim trees in Utah?
Not necessarily — light corrective trimming and deadwood removal are fine any time of year. Heavy structural pruning is best in late fall through early spring when trees are dormant, but a hazardous limb should never wait for the 'right' season. If you're unsure, text a photo to (801) 330-1444 and we'll tell you honestly.
Can you remove dead wood and mistletoe from my trees?
Yes. Deadwood removal is the bread and butter of good pruning — it reduces storm breakage and lets healthy growth thrive. If you see mistletoe clumps or a lot of dead interior branches, call (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate.
Do you trim tall hedges and overgrown bushes too?
Yes — we handle large hedges, overgrown junipers, and bushes that have gotten out of hand, not just trees. If your hedges are blocking windows or sidewalks, one visit can take care of the trees and the hedges together. Call (801) 330-1444.
What do you do with the branches you trim off?
Every trimming job includes a full cleanup — we haul off all the branches and brush and leave the area tidy. If you'd like the larger pieces left as firewood, just mention it during your free estimate. Call (801) 330-1444.
Can you raise the canopy so I can mow or park underneath?
Yes — crown raising lifts the lower branches to clear headroom for mowing, parking, or walkways, and we do it gradually so the tree keeps a natural shape. Call (801) 330-1444 for a free estimate.
My neighbor's tree hangs over my fence — can you trim it back?
Usually, yes — you generally have the right to trim branches up to your property line, though it's smart to talk with your neighbor first. We cut back to the line cleanly without harming the tree. Call (801) 330-1444 and we'll take a look during a free estimate.
