Your tree grew lopsided. One side is heavy, the other side is thin, and it does not look right in the yard. Maybe a young tree has two tops fighting for the lead. Toms Tree Services shapes trees in Marquette so they look balanced and grow in a healthy form.
When Do You Need Tree Shaping?
Tree shaping helps when a tree is uneven, has a heavy side, or has grown into a strange form. Young trees with two main stems, or branches growing at tight angles, are good candidates too.
A heavy side matters in the U.P. Lake-effect snow and ice pile onto that side, and Lake Superior wind storms push it further. Over time, the tree can lean or split.
Trees on dense wooded lots often grow toward the light and end up one-sided. Shaping evens them out bit by bit. It works best on young and mid-sized trees, before problems get big.
Shaping is not shearing a tree into a ball. We work with the tree's natural form so it stays healthy and keeps looking good as it grows.
We shape trees for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County. Ornamental trees by the front door, shade trees in the back yard, and young trees you just planted all benefit from a little shaping while they are small.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at the tree.
Then we come out and look at the job. We step back and look at the whole tree, then pick which branches to shorten or remove to bring it into balance. We make cuts at the right points so new growth comes in where it should.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure to say yes. If you want to go ahead, we set up the work with you. When we finish, we clean up the branches.
How Much Does Tree Shaping Cost?
The price depends on tree size, how far off balance it is, and whether we need to climb or use a lift. Access, distance, the gear needed, and cleanup also matter. The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee.
When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as hauling the branches away or chipping them. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
