Professional Arborist Pruning for Health, Safety & Structure
Proper tree pruning is one of the most important investments you can make in the long-term health and safety of your landscape. At DLC Landscape & Arbor, our certified arborists provide custom tree pruning designed specifically for each tree’s species, age, condition, and location — not one-size-fits-all trimming.
We serve homeowners and commercial properties throughout Denver Metro and the Front Range, delivering professional pruning that improves structure, reduces risk, and promotes healthy growth.
What Is Custom Tree Pruning?
Custom tree pruning is a professional approach that focuses on how a tree grows naturally and what it needs to thrive long-term. Instead of simply cutting branches back for appearance, our arborists evaluate:
Tree species and growth patterns
Structural integrity and limb attachment
Proximity to homes, sidewalks, and utilities
Signs of disease, decay, or stress
Wind, snow, and weather exposure
Every pruning plan is tailored to improve tree health while minimizing future hazards.
Why Tree Pruning Matters in Denver
Colorado’s climate is tough on trees. Heavy snow, high winds, rapid temperature changes, and dry conditions can weaken branches and expose structural issues.
Professional pruning helps:
Reduce the risk of broken or falling limbs
Improve airflow and light penetration
Strengthen branch structure
Prevent storm-related damage
Extend the life of your trees
Routine pruning is one of the best ways to protect both your trees and your property.

Our Arborist Pruning Process
We follow industry-recognized pruning standards and proven arborist practices on every job.
Our process includes:
On-site evaluation by a trained arborist
Identification of dead, damaged, or hazardous limbs
Structural pruning to improve strength and balance
Selective thinning for airflow and light
Precision cuts to encourage healthy regrowth
We never “top” trees or remove more than what is healthy or necessary.
Types of Tree Pruning
Landscape trees need pruning at least five times over their first 25 years to promote proper growth, with some species requiring more trimming to maintain proper form. Best practices state that no more than 30% of the crown should be removed at one time.
Structural Pruning
Improves branch structure, balance, and long-term stability — especially important for young trees.
Sanitation Pruning
Eliminates diseased or pest-damaged branches to help prevent spread.
Safety & Hazard Pruning
Removes dead, cracked, or weakened limbs that pose a risk to people or property.
MAINTENANCE Pruning
Keeps mature trees healthy, attractive, and resilient over time.
Clearance Pruning
Creates safe clearance around homes, roofs, driveways, sidewalks, and utility lines.
