Experienced Tree Trimming & Pruning
Our tree care specialists have years of combined tree trimming experience in the Springfield, Missouri area. They will trim the tree to suit its natural shape, while minding healthy growth patterns.
A tree can be trimmed every year or two in order to promote growth and retain their health. The earlier you start, the better, as trees will often develop growth patterns on their own that could ultimately cause weaknesses later on.
Mature trees offer shade, beauty, and value to a property. On the flip side, when a tree develops weaknesses, it can be hazardous to life and property.
Counting Costs
The cost of a basic trimming for a tree will typically start around $400 with Trufast. However, that cost can go up quickly when considering trees that have been neglected for years, or ones that hang over houses, power lines, etc. We do our best to provide an honest, fair estimate based on the actual work needed.
You may find lower estimates from companies without proper insurance (workman’s comp and general liability), but you’ll find that our estimates are competitive with other reputable tree care services in the greater Springfield area.
Important Facts About Our Process
- We trim trees in a way that promotes natural healing. Except in very specific situations, we do not cover our cuts with pruning sealer, as it prevents natural healing and ultimately exposes the tree to likely damage. If we feel the situation warrants it, we will mention it to you and give reasons for it.
- One of our tree climbing professionals will be the one to ascend the tree and remove dead wood and any branches that are inhibiting the beauty, healthy growth, or safety of the surrounding property.
- Our tree climbing professionals average more than five years of tree climbing experience and even more experience working in the tree service.
- We do have a certified arborist on staff as well, and all of our team members have the knowledge and experience to make sure your tree is taken care of and your property stays safe.
- When the climbing is done, we will carefully remove all limbs and debris from the property, and make sure to leave it as close to how we found it as possible. Naturally, we always leave a layer of chainsaw sawdust in our wake, but will remove the largest portion of this depending on our agreement with you.

How you trim a tree really matters to the success of the tree over time. Improper trimming and storm-broken branches can result in the eventual death of the tree.
Most often we are brought in to trim trees that are at least fifteen years old. These require climbing and the cost range starts near $400 depending on the situation and number of trees you have.

Pruning & Shaping
Branches can be pruned to promote healthy growth in a tree. Best case scenario is to start pruning the tree when it is young. Proper pruning tends to lead to a strong tree that will better withstand the stress of storms, ice, and natural threats, not to mention its own weight.
Branch Chipping
We do provide rough chipping services if you are looking to convert your tree waste into mulch. The mulch created by our machine is a rough mulch, not the fine, color-treated stuff you can purchase.
Branch Removal
Sometimes a branch is either damaged beyond saving or has grown in such a way that is detrimental to the health of the tree. Our specialists can determine if and when removing limbs is right for your trees.
