Our Certified Arborist Approach to Tree Trimming

What sets Golden Roots Tree Care apart in the Sacramento tree trimming landscape is our unwavering commitment to knowledge and proper technique. Our owner, Lorenzo Sanchez Perez, is an ISA Certified Arborist. This means we don’t just trim; we understand the intricate biology of trees, their growth patterns, and how they react to pruning.
This unique selling proposition ensures that every cut is made with the tree’s long-term health and structural integrity in mind, preventing common issues like stress or excessive water sprouts.
Our comprehensive tree trimming services include:
- Crown Thinning: Carefully removing weak, crossing, broken, or dead branches to improve the tree’s structure and air circulation. We also remove bad sprouts (suckers).
- Crown Reduction: Selectively reducing the tree’s height and spread by making precise cuts to strong lateral branches, promoting healthy regrowth. This approach helps the tree regenerate and compartmentalize.
- Crown Cleaning: Primarily removing all dead, damaged, or broken branches, a common practice for mature trees.
- Crown Restoration: Expertly rehabilitating trees that have suffered damage from storms or improper past pruning (like “topping”). This includes a thorough crown cleaning.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
The frequency of tree trimming depends on the tree’s species, age, condition, and location. Generally, mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years to maintain health and structure. Younger trees might need more frequent attention for proper shaping, while fruit trees often require annual pruning to optimize fruit production.
What's the best time of year to trim trees?
The ideal time for tree trimming largely depends on the tree type and desired outcome. For most deciduous trees, late fall or early winter (when they’re dormant) is often best as it minimizes stress and allows for clear visibility of the branch structure. However, some trees, like flowering varieties, are best trimmed after they’ve bloomed. Our certified arborist can provide guidance tailored to your specific trees.
Is professional tree trimming really necessary, or can I do it myself?
While minor pruning can sometimes be a DIY task, professional tree trimming is highly recommended, especially for larger trees or complex situations. Improper trimming can severely damage a tree, leading to disease, weak growth, or even posing a safety hazard. Our ISA Certified Arborists have the knowledge, experience, and specialized equipment to ensure safe and proper cuts that promote tree health and longevity.
Will trimming my trees make them grow back thicker or stronger?
Proper tree trimming, when performed by a certified arborist, can indeed promote healthier and stronger growth. Techniques like crown thinning improve air circulation and light penetration, while selective removal of dead or weak branches encourages the tree to redirect energy to more vigorous growth. However, excessive or incorrect trimming can cause stress and lead to weak, rapid regrowth, which is why professional expertise is crucial.
What are the signs that my tree needs trimming?
Several indicators suggest your tree needs trimming. These include dead, diseased, or broken branches, especially after storms. Also, if branches are rubbing against each other, growing too close to your home or power lines, or if the tree appears overgrown, unbalanced, or has dense foliage preventing light from reaching lower branches or your lawn, it’s time for a professional assessment.
