WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

When you choose Erick’s Tree Services, you get a complete, done-for-you service tailored to your trees:

Crown Trimming & Thinning — We selectively remove interior branches from the canopy to improve light penetration, increase airflow, and reduce weight on major limbs extending the life of your trees.

Deadwood Removal — Dead, dying, or diseased branches are identified and removed before they fall. A single dead limb can weigh hundreds of pounds; our team eliminates the risk before it becomes a problem.

Crown Reduction — We carefully reduce the overall height and spread of the canopy while preserving the tree’s natural shape. Crown reduction improves structural stability and reduces wind resistance during Connecticut’s storm season.

Hazard Pruning — Branches growing toward power lines, rooflines, gutters, fences, or neighboring structures are removed before they cause damage. We coordinate with local utilities when work is within safe distance of power infrastructure.

Clean-Up & Debris Disposal — All cut branches, leaves, and debris are cleared from your property. We can chip material into mulch on request for use in your garden beds at no extra charge.

How Does Professional Tree Trimming & Pruning Work in Connecticut?

Proper pruning is more than cutting branches. It requires knowledge of tree biology, growth patterns, and local species. Here’s how Erick’s Tree Services approaches every job:

Free On-Site Assessment — A certified arborist visits your property, evaluates each tree, and identifies problem areas before any work begins. You receive a detailed written quote, not an estimate over the phone.


Pruning Plan — Based on the tree’s species, age, condition, and your goals, our arborist recommends the right pruning method: crown thinning, crown reduction, deadwood removal, or hazard pruning.


Precision Cuts — Our team uses professional-grade equipment and follows ANSI A300 pruning standards. Every cut is made at the correct location to encourage healthy regrowth and prevent disease entry.


Full Clean-Up — All debris is removed from your property. We rake, blow, and leave your yard clean before we leave.


Post-Service Review — Our arborist walks you through the completed work and can advise on a recommended maintenance schedule to keep your trees in peak condition year-round.

What Our Customers Are Saying

See why our clients trust Erick’s Tree Services. for their tree service needs.

Tree Removal

“Erick’s Tree Service handled a very difficult tree removal project in our backyard, and the results were outstanding. The tree was extremely large and located close to our fence, garage, and power lines, but the crew managed everything safely and efficiently. Their equipment was impressive, and the entire process was handled with a high level of professionalism. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.”

Michael R.

Pruning & Trimming

“Erick’s Tree Service completely transformed the appearance of our yard with their pruning and trimming service. Several trees were overgrown and hanging close to the roof, but the crew carefully shaped everything while improving the health and appearance of the trees. The entire property looked cleaner and more maintained once the work was completed.”

Daniel M.

Cabling & Bracing

“We had a large mature tree with several weak limbs extending over our driveway, and Erick’s Tree Service recommended a cabling and bracing system instead of removing the tree completely. Their team explained the entire process clearly and installed the support system professionally. We now feel much safer during storms while still being able to preserve the tree.”

What is Tree Cabling and Bracing?

Tree Cabling and Bracing is a structural support system used to help stabilize weak, damaged, or vulnerable trees. Steel cables and support rods are installed to reduce stress on weak limbs and improve the overall stability of the tree.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming in connecticut focuses on maintaining a tree’s shape and appearance by cutting back overgrown branches. Tree pruning targets the tree’s health and safety, removing dead, diseased, or structurally weak branches to promote stronger growth and reduce hazard risks. Most professional tree care jobs in Connecticut include elements of both.

How often should trees be trimmed or pruned in Connecticut?

Most trees benefit from professional care every 1 to 3 years. Fast-growing species like willows and poplars may need attention annually. Slower-growing hardwoods like oaks and maples can typically go 2 to 3 years between pruning cycles. Our arborists will recommend a schedule tailored to your specific trees after an on-site assessment.

When is the best time to trim or prune trees in Connecticut?

Late winter to early spring just before new growth begins is the optimal window for most tree species in Connecticut. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and limits exposure to pests and fungal disease. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately, regardless of season.

Can improper pruning damage or kill a tree?

Yes. Flush cuts, topping, removing more than 25% of the canopy at once, or pruning during the wrong season can permanently weaken a tree’s structure, invite disease, or cause irreversible decline. This is why working with a certified arborist (not a general landscaper) matters. Erick’s Tree Services follows ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.

Do you prune trees near power lines in Connecticut?

Yes. Our team is trained and equipped to prune branches growing near power lines. When work falls within utility company right-of-way or within prescribed safety distances, we coordinate with the local utility provider to ensure all work is completed safely and in compliance with Connecticut regulations.

How much does tree trimming & pruning cost in Connecticut?

Professional Tree Pruning in Connecticut typically costs between $150 and $1,500+, depending on tree height, canopy density, number of trees, and site access. Most standard residential jobs fall in the $300–$700 range. We provide free on-site estimates, our arborist will walk your property and give you a detailed written quote before any work begins.
